to wlad36... tht bert cooper vs ray mercer fight has a raw aggressive speed that most fighters now lack. they truely are hitting each other with everything they got putting it all out there in those rounds. same has Hearns vs Hagler at middleweight. 2 grwat chsmps laying it all on the line w No reserve
Interesting to hear Cosell refer to "my buddy, the incomparable Giffer", considering that in his subsequent book ("I Never Played the Game"), he ripped Gifford as an empty suit. Cosell became a very bitter old man in his later years. Sad.
Wonderful upload...the Good Old Days. I miss them.
I've had an audio recording of this broadcast since it happened and never thought I'd see the video again. Thanks for posting!
You can tell by alis slow facial movements and speech that he was showing signs of parkinsons here
@ErikS1975FreeState This broadcast was one of the first time ABC used that theme. It didn't become MNF theme until years later.
Howard loved Ali.and. Ali.loved Howard
lyle was a good fighter, just being in the golden era it was the hardest time to be world champ
Cosell: 'One of his losses was to Jerry Quarry...and few can lay claim to that...'
