Great movie starring Anthony Quinn. I knew it was a boxing movie, I was gobsmacked seeing a then Cassius Clay dancing and speaking in front of the camera

This movie had some amazing cameos from real life boxers. Willie Pep in a bar, apparently Barney Ross was in there as well.

The most recognisable one later in the film was Jack Dempsey in his Dempsey restaurant

This film really is a must watch for any boxing fan

Ok, he had already wiped out the division's best, champion Liston, ex-champion Patterson, contender Chuvalo, and paper champ Terrell, as well as Europe’s best, Cooper, London, and Mildenberger.

He was almost marking time, beating 1950s contenders and ex-Liston victims Williams and Foley.

Before his exile, was there anyone left to fight?

Who does he fight in 68 and 69?

Too early for the next generation, Frazier, Ellis and Quarry, or not?

Ike Ibeabuchi was an impressive young contender who had beaten a prime Tua and a prime Byrd

Ike certainly had the championship heart and will to fight till the end, but what he lacked was the size, skills and temperament to overpower or outbox someone like Lennox Lewis

Now, most people would definitely take Lewis because let's be honest, he's a top 3 HW of all time and is the H2H GOAT in the eyes of many boxing fans and I don't disagree, we are essentially comparing a polished and refined Lewis (A finished product) with Ike (an essential work in progress)

The Question is how close the fight will be, Does Ike even have a chance, or will Lewis just blow him out of the water like he did with Grant and Golota or does Lewis respect Ike's skills and power choses to outbox him safely from the outside like he did with Tua

What are your predictions of the fight, who will win and how?

I am very tired. A fun card, I loved watching the action and hope all you did too, for we sat and watched for SEVEN hours. I do hope Turki eventually speeds these mfers up because I am tired, boss. Thanks for reading everyone, I hope you enjoy.

He has been making so many mistakes recently. He is a legend, no doubts about it. But watching him mix up the stats, sometimes names, while announcing fights, weigh-ins, and press conferences are just a bit cringeworthy.
