  1. Rich I have no clue how you keep pumping out these videos but I'm so happy you do! Keep'em coming good buddy!

  2. 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

  3. I thought twice about 175lbs after seeing Ritchie Kates in action. Phenomenal guy in highly talented division.

  4. 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

    Philly has history
    Holla

  5. Duane Bobick announcing never heard that before. Good fight for Kate and good stoppage by the ref . Thanks Rich another good fighter love it

  6. 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 ".

  7. 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…

  8. Rich. These videos are a god send to real boxing fans. You have to be the best broadcaster in the business. If someone wants to know about the golden era of boxing I tell them to visit your page.
