Bloody hell, that ref was brave. I thought the neutral corner rule came in in the 20s. Cerdan was teeing off as soon as his opponent stood up....
Great spot. He really does look like him. Apparently Richie's roadwork used to be running up the stairs of both the Twin Towers of the World...

To be fair, in that case, you have to put Tyson into that era. Sonny would have never seen anything like it. A black guy heavier than him, faster,...
Joe in FotC. Both of them in the Thrilla. Those conditions, that punishment. It was other worldly. Ali in the Rumble. Evander in the first Bowe...
