Here’s an addendum video package though this is about 28 mins long - fills the void for a number of 60s fights that weren’t shown in the first...
That’s why I like the Terrell fight in so far as Ali proving he could move and throw the same type of effective and picturesque combos he threw...
That’s fair to say that Cooney could still be very dangerous and especially so in the early rounds while Joe would be building himself to a full...
Yep, like a thrashing machine, Ali squeezed out quite a few punches in just a sec or two to see Brian off.

Arnold creams John L. Well, not necessarily, but I just needed to get that out of my system. Carry on.
I guess Holy has hit that age when one reflects more on their career/life, leading to consequential desire for even more acclaim and recognition...
