    Be cool if there was a full version floating around to ever get uploaded someday. I've read that Rubbers was unlucky to not get the nod - but the spoils there, of course, had been a date with Ali ...making the point rather moot. Both combatants actually fought Ali later within that same year of '73, each losing a UD.

    Bugner may have gotten a questionable decision over Lubbers (in the UK, strangely enough, given that he was quite disliked there for his bitter rivalry with Cooper having lifted very EBU belt on the line here from "Our 'Enry" via unpopular referee judgment and ruining his chance to ride triumphantly off into the sunset) but he unquestionably did better against the Great One. He was so competitive that he dropped from an 8/1 to a mere 3/1 underdog by their rematch...whereas the Dutchman probably didn't shade a round.

    Dat wist ik niet. Ik zag een interview met Lubbers minimaal 10 jaar geleden (kan 15 zijn), maar dacht dat hij al overleden was.

    Translation:
    I didn't know that. I saw an interview with Lubbers at least 10 years ago (could be 15), but thought he passed away.

    Can't see any evidence here to suggest Lubbers should have got the decision. Bugner was panned by the British press though.
