Larry saw Jesus this night in 79. Got caught leading with the short uppercut and still not sure how he got up!

Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
That was a good watch.
Legend Marvin Gaye singing the national anthem was the best I have ever heard it sung.
How Larry took that right hand is amazing. I think he could have taken Tyson’s right hand if he was at his peak, shame it was 9 years later for him.
Real hard men who dug deep to try and win.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

What an upload! Just perfect in every way. Loved that it kept the ads, we never saw a lot of them here. Here the Olympus ads were always someone saying..."Who do you think you are....David Bailey?" to ..David Bailey. Loved the sound of that venue and the whole vibe.. great fight and even had blinkin Bruce/ Caitlyn Jenner as a bonus easter egg

Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
Love to see the bigger library of the original uploader. Real 'complete' feel of era and bit of a time capsule with full pre fight and uncut network telecast. I used to always leave ads in when I edited for sales and trades though some would whine about losing room etc. Talk about a picture of just how massive boxing was on regular cable in the day. And the undercard was filled out with Leonard..Wilfredo Gomez..and Roberto Duran!Larry saw Jesus this night in 79

The Thrilla in Manilla..... October 1, 1975
Still one of the greatest fights in the history of boxing. The best fight of the trilogy... and one that cemented the legacy of both Ali and Frazier.
