Latigo Rapper - "Rey Boom Boom Bautista Rap"

10/29/2021

0 Comments

 
At one point in time it seemed like the ALA Gym was sat on a wealth of emerging talent and that the Philippines was going to have a generation of brilliant fighters. One of those fighters was Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista. He was a good looking kid, with power, an exciting style and a lot of promise and potential.

He was one of two fighters from the ALA stable to get a rap recorded for him by Latigo Rapper. The song is nothing amazing, but it is, in some ways, a sign of just how popular Bautista was at this point in his career. Sadly Bautista failed to reach the heights expected of him in the sport, but he is one of the few fighters to have a special rap recorded about him.

Stephanie Cheng - "Fists of Gold" Theme song

10/22/2021

0 Comments

 
Way back on April 6th 2013 fans of professional boxing saw their attention turn to the Cotai Arena in Macao for the "Fists of Gold" show. The card featured the professional debut of Zou Shiming along with a brilliant Flyweight title match up between Brian Viloria and Juan Francisco Estrada. Whilst the show didn't instantly make Shiming a star as a pro, in fact Shiming never really became a professional star, it did have a theme song.

That's right, a boxing show had a them sense.

The song was preformed by Stephanie Cheng and produced by Johnny Yim, with a looooot of auto-tune being used. 

​It's clear the production values behind the whole thing were high but the song really isn't very good, despite a nice rap in the middle of it. Despite not being very good it is an interesting little bit of boxing history and the song we felt we should share this week.

Junko Yagami - "Boxer"

10/15/2021

After last week's Japanese folk song about boxing we're in deep again this week with a Japanese pop song from 1986. This is "Boxer" by Junko Yagami, who released to track on her album Yagamania, and it placed at #33 on the Oricon charts in Japan. 

Although never released as a single Yagami herself appears to have made this available to all on her youtube channel and it's a rather catchy track, with somewhat dark lyrics. Nothing too original, but it does feel very much a product of it's time, with an almost disco like feel to the track musically.

Relatively painless to listen too, but maybe not the sort of thing many of us would actively be listening too now, almost 4 decades on.

Osamu Setoguchi - "Nobu is a boxer"

10/8/2021

0 Comments

 
We're never too sure on Japanese folk songs being included in this series as they are pretty inaccessible to most people stumbling on this series. Despite that we like them and given that the idea of this weekly section is to help expand on things we do like to include some.

In this case we have a brilliant little folk song from Osamu Setoguchi called "Nobu is a boxer". The song talks about the titular Nobu's battle within the sport and with loneliness. It's a track that we do accept won't twig with most Westerners reading it, but even without understanding the story it's inoffensive and easy enough on the ear.

Hazzie - "For You"

10/1/2021

0 Comments

 
It's not often we see boxing used as a primary focus for a music video, without a particular being used, but for Hazzie's 2014 release "For You" we actually see boxing being used as part of the story arc of a music video, in a really interesting and smart way.

The video begins with a young man wrapping his hands before flipping to a scene of him unpacking with his girlfriend. From there we see the man training to become a fighter, interspersed with the relationship between the two. By the end of it the young man gets his Japanese boxing license and the two get engaged. It has trials and tribulations through out.

The song is a bit lovey dovey, but the video is a really smart one. This is sweet, innocent and peaceful but uses boxing as a foundation. Really smartly done.
