You can watch that, but I'd recommend the 11:47 black and white version as well. And then the 25-minute Blackhawk version even if the quality...
William your'e right on top of it! Thanks for the "Like." I just edited a few words, so you may want to read it again.
I think this thread is doomed to failure. You are starting out with the premise that is not an exciting fight. I beg to differ. To me, it is one...

Klitschko and Foreman. Foreman would have floored him except that Chuvalo's wife was screaming to the referee at ringside to stop it, so he did. I...
Valid point, but you can scan them pretty quick to find out if they interest you. My preference is to encourage footnotes. I think they are often...
