I take it that last one was Jack Dempsey and Jess Willard(would have been nice if they had identified the fights).The fight took place in Toledo,Ohio:this promoter named Tex Rickart had the outdoor arena built with pinewood bleachers.The temp was about 100 F,and these bleachers started oozing resin,which wasn’t good for the seats of the spectators’ pants.
Can you say, brain damage? Yeah, didn’t think so.
Dain bramge! Sorry, what was the question?

Dewd, I sooo remember that Foreman-Frazier ‘73 fight. I’d never seen anything like it, couldn’t figure how Joe even made it out of the first round.
That weird crazy-legs spasm on his final trip to the canvas? D**ndest thing I’d ever seen.
Never saw a more thorough heavyweight pasting again, not until Mike Tyson came on the scene.
What an amazing compilation clip. The refs sure useta let ‘em fight in the old days, didn’t they?
Right there!!!
