I sat glued to the screen watching two great fights that I had only ever listened to - over the radio back in the mid sixties. B&W and worth every minute. The sound man somehow avoided picking up Ali telling Patterson "my name is Ali, my name is Ali" everytime he hit him with his left jab from every conceivable angle. No round by round punch stats in those days. A shame to not have seen him fight during the many prime years big boxing denied him of his living. Regards, Greg
