Members cooterbrown Posted July 3, 2006 Members Share Posted July 3, 2006 That fight was the destruction of both of their careers. It hurts too much to even watch it... Eddie Futch saved Frazier from dying or becoming a vegetable by throwing in the towel. Ali urinated blood for a month after that fight and called his mother at 2 am, weeping; "Mama...that man hurt me bad." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaSkip Posted July 4, 2006 Members Share Posted July 4, 2006 Great fight I remember watching it live. The most brutal fight I ever saw was Ray Mancini vs Du Ku Kim (sp). Either fighter could have hit the canvas from the opening bell. If I remember correctly Mancini knocked Mr. Kim out near the end of round 15. Sadly, Mr. Kim died soon afterwards. Ray Mancini's career was never the same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
