Good one RIch. I have the Saad fight. Matthew is one of my all time favorite fighters and being from Harrisburg Saad was almost a hometown guy in Philly. I ll never forget how Saad fell when he got caught. Looked like it was all over. I also cant forget how Kates bent down at the waist on the stoppage and the announcer saying "he went into his Groucho impression" or something like that
Rich ur the best Another great Bio I gotta come out there and see ya.. My guy has the #2 Girl (kid) in country. He had #1 kid and another #2 kid in Atlantic City
This is the 2nd fight I've heard Duane Bobick doing the announcing, the other is Tex Cobb vs Jeff Shelberg, you can see that fight on YouTube. During the fight Tex told Shelberg " after the fight we will go drink a beer ".
Richie Kates is my father,I’m happy you uploaded this…He had so many great fights! Love to see more of his besides the Galindez and Saad fights! What’s more impressive is all the works he has done after he retired from boxing!Check out his documentary titled Uncommon Journey..Thanks For Uploading.., God Bless…

Thanks Rich. Looks like you would have to be on the top of your game to defeat Keats..
Another masterpiece, you should do a biography on Greb!
I thought twice about 175lbs after seeing Ritchie Kates in action. Phenomenal guy in highly talented division.

Richie Kates was a prison guard, that had to be tough to train with the kind of work hours guards have.
Thanks love this
