    The hilarious part is that this 100% looks like one of those slugfests from the 80s/90s that are labeled as the peak of technical brawling.

    You're smoking crack. Bowe/Holyfield or Holmes/Cooney looked a lot cleaner and sharper

    Despite the poor VHS quality, you can still clearly see that one guy taking a dive for Don King.
    Pretty sure he got scammed out of his purse after.

    Only in America!

    Go to 5:39 and watch for ten seconds, I might as well be watching the same fight, except between two people of a reasonable size.

    You're really cherrypicking the FINAL seconds of the FINAL round where Cooney was gassed and ready to go lol. Fury and Wilder were looking like that the entire fight and even slower.

    Holmes would box circles around Wilder and make Fury look like an elephant, as slick and smart as Fury is
