    Wild action all the way with little regard for boxing technique.

    I know Rocky mentions that it's their 2nd fight, but it's actually their 3rd. The 2nd fight was in Salt Lake City; this one is in Madison Square Garden.

    You are right. This has to be the third fight. I edited the thread title.

    What a war though.

    Post-fight quotes:

    "You're the toughest guy I ever saw." -Gene Fullmer, to Gil Turner.

    "And they don't make them any tougher than you." -Gil Turner, replying to Fullmer.
