    Indeed. Top billing with Emilio and Molly. Or he could have been given 'Lines' as a punishment - "I must stop fighting Jimmy Young" x 50

    Close, but George was determined since he had something to prove after the whole Zaire thing.

    In Foreman's case, i dont think all those short fights helped him endure the heat in Puerto Rico....and I know the place was air conditioned, I was there a few times at that building and its pleasantly air conditioned but when there are so many people in there, hmnnn....

    Young was better conditioned under that situation.
