I didn't catch that but caught a good documentary about the 'Thriller in Manilla' on the same channel. Never knew that Frazier was boxing with one eye from the start, meaning that as Ali closed his right eye, he was virtually fighting blind against one of the greatest fighters of all time. And he still protested as his corner pulled him out before the last round.

I saw it, great fight. Louis had the size advantage but Hitler showed good speed, Louis's big punch eventually caught up with Adolf late.
