Haven't found any footage yet.

And how she got her nickname? She invited Ali to speak at a youth center, to which he obliged. As soon as Jackie introduced herself, she said Ali stood in silence for a moment, smiled and said, WOW, Sister Smoke!


Laila Ali's daddy gave Jackie her boxing name!

Nope it was actually Ad Wolgast. Guy had elevated boots ffs! They designed them special with old tires, even had to add ropes to the ring so the little fooker didn't tumble under the bottom rope. Named one of his best punches the 'Kangaroo clanger' as he'd time the right hand and take a running start with it just to land clean! Unheard of.



Ok I'm full of shat you got it. Good call man

Going through my covidlockdown -leisure time I'd thought I'd rewatch the fight, totally forgot that was mentioned at the beginning of the broadcast. Hagler hearing a draw, must've been like, -yeah figures this would happen to me.

Nice!
