Joe was close to 230 lbs., and had not fought since March 2nd against Jimmy Ellis in
Australia.

Basically, it was a 5-Week 'Prep-Cycle', which was nothing special.
Rubbish! Joe pushed himself like he always did. The only limitations was his age and boxing mileage. All witnesses said he trained very hard.
