Facing Ali

[Discipline]

Did anyone watch this on Spike on monday night? it was pretty good imo.

I did not, just hard for me to get into boxing anymore.

i understand. it was somewhat of a documentary on facing ali back in the day. i thought it was pretty good. should check it out. i came on after the new episode of unleashed with kos/johnson. which brings up another past thread.

I watched about three to five minutes of trying to get past the fact that they need to use subtitles so we can understand guys like Spinks, got really depressed about that, and changed the channel to WEC Wreckage.

now THAT i can completely understand. i HATED that, but i did my best to tough it out and ignore that fact, which was very hard but i made it.

Now, if there's one really, really good boxing documentary that is also really wrenching, it's HBO's Assault in the Ring. If you guys haven't seen it, check that shit out. Probably one of the more depressing boxing stories I've heard. If you don't know about it, it'a about this guy who not only took padding out of his gloves for a major bout, but also had plaster cast on his hands instead of regulation hand wraps. He destroyed his opponent's face and ruined the guy's life. I personally thtought something like wwas completely shocking, but then I remembered that Antonio Margarito got caught with that crazy plaster shit in his gloves before the Mosley fight, and the fact that a lot of peple think he did the same thing before his fight with Miguel Cotto, when he bashed Cotto's face up so bad. Shady shit man...
