    I was always amazed with Ketchels story....He was a bad kid, tough kid...dropping Johnson, quite a feet...Died at 24, who knows how great he could have been

    Story is nicely done, I wish they would talk about Ketchel's affliation with the mafia though.

    i used to train at that gym in the opening clip where it says thursday night at the fights. meatblock on the bottom, boxing gym up the green stairs. cold as **** and smells like meat. you can see your breathe in the winter and the trainer is old school with old school gloves with horse hair. it used to be horrible when it was winter because the heater did absolutely nothing and 50 year old gloves really sting when your face is frozen and purple. man what are the odds of seeing that :yep
