WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!! What a fight. True championship battle that was just wonderful. Two guys giving their all, down to the depths of their souls....
That wasn't home cooking. That was a straight up fixed fight.
Someone made the great point that Folley was in there with Ali, but he wasn't in there with Louis. Ali took 7 rounds to take out Folley. Louis...
