Bud Learns To Fight
Jimmy_the_Gent426 October 2021
When Bud runs from a fight, Jim suggests he and the bully duke it out in the ring at the YMCA.

A very good Bud episode. Bud loses the fight so Jim then tells him to take some boxing lessons. Margaret and Betty are worried that Bud will want to become a prizefighter and become a "savage brute". After taking some lessons he beats the bully in a second bout. He then competes for the class championship. Some funny moments with the contrast between Jim and the women about boxing.

Before Rocky, there was Bud

Excellent episode in which timid Bud gets bullied, but learns to box and becomes obsessed with being a professional boxing champion. Billy Gray shines and steals the entire episode. He gave a very solid performance and varied his emotions. The supporting cast is solid and don't overact. Surprisingly, the boxing matches were very well done considering the budget and the young people involved. Many amateur boxing matches involving novice fighters end quickly and this is realistically demonstrated. The only drawback was the idea that after only two bouts that Bud would challenge for the championship of the boxing class. If you're a boxing fan, you will definitely like Bud The Boxer.
