It’s a cool video, but this was in 1997. Not least because Carlos Newton, who fought the previous match, was 12 in 1988.

Surely 1988 refers to the year of Monday’s medal.

I am an idiot and imagined a colon where none existed, sorry.

Yeah, the 1988 Seoul Olympics. He took a silver in Barcelona.

Hume was in Pancrase for a while and lost most of his matches (Most notably a worked exhibition with Ken Shamrock, which is one of the reasons people erroneously believe Pancrase was all worked). He fared better in American NHB.
