What's that in Celsius?

 

I'm sure the documentary that we had on this in the UK said it was about 110 ringside!!

They made a big point about the heat so it must have been really hot!!!

 

38 C is 100.4 F

 

Even the ref was exhausted and has been replaced during the fight and those two fought14 rounds under this heat... Legends.

 

No, Padilla was there durng the whole fight. Otherwise I agree.

 

some people had a heart attack ringside, it was ridiculously hot mainly because of the time of year in manila and it was stage at the hottest time of the day for the US audience

 

Over 100 degrees. Very hot!

 

This is 100 plus at ringside. I would imagine it was a lot hotter in the ring with the lighting and what have you,

 

wasnt that Maxim vs Robinson

From me fighting amatuer bills i can tell you the ring is so much hotter than ringside and this is an amatuer fight a pro ring would have more lighting and be even hotter. It could even be 130 in the ring

 

That was indeed Maxim/Robinson.

 

thought so
