Apparently only a 15 min HL version is doing the rounds. Is this true?

A high profile fight like this surely there must be a full length version? Does anybody know a source or can point me in the right direction?

Sorry, can't help, but if anyone could quickly remind how and why Bonavena got killed it would be interesting. Something to do with a Nevada brothel or something?

Hardman Ringo he of the very dodgy Beatles haircut was apparently killed by a man called Ross Brymer who went onto served 15 months in jail for killing Oscar Bonavena by pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the 1976 slaying of the Argentinian Boxer.

The story that I had heard was the party animal Bonavena was the victim of a premeditated murder as there were whisoers doing the rounds that he was having a passionate affair with the brothel owner Joe Conforte's wife.

Conforte had allegedly told his 'minder; to shot Bonavena on site if he came near his brothel.

no not really a 15 rd beatdown by smokin joe.... he looked much better than the 1sr fight bro

The full fight is fairly common.

I enjoy it. Its not the knockdown drag out brawl the first was but It was good. Bonavena spends a lot of time on the ropes and in corners as Frazier keeps him bulled there unloading.
