Wish I could see the Bobick-Stevenson bouts. Don't see them anywhere.
To condense posts, Don't you think Ali held a lot in the Thrilla as well?
LOL! :lol:
Regarding Bobick vs Teofilo, I only can find 13 second snipits.
That's the exact 13 seconds I found.

Amazing because they showed the footage on TV in the 70s.

I feel like I used to get it on youtube. But no more.

Shane Mosley. Fell in love with the sport watching him batter Antonio Margarito in the famous hand wraps fight.

no particular boxer, just the accumulation of seeing these beasts go to war :yay: :box:

i thought it was neat how in boxing, one guy could be miles down, 10 seconds left, and still win. unlike pretty much any other sport. there is a spectacularity to boxing that few sports have.

boxing and kicboxing ive both been really into, basically stand up fighting

No doubt. My brothers did too. Through them, I knew who Ali, Spinks, Teo Stevenson, Page, Dokes, and Michael Spinks were. But, truthfully, after Leonard-Duran, especially Leonard-Kalule, and Hearns I, major fan from that point on.

First I became a casual fan, after watching fights featuring Holyfield, Tyson, Lewis, Bowe. Later I became an obsessed fan, majorly because of Joe Frazier and Tommy Morrison.
