On closed circuit TV at the old Garden Oaks theater in Houston. I went with a couple of friends. I was the only one rooting for Ali. I was (and remain) a huge fan of his. Spectacular fight, really a war. I still don't know how Ali survived that last round. Frazier had been rocking him late in the fight. He made it to the end on sheer guts.<br /><br />I'll never forget it. that's a great, great pick up, Fuji. Congrats!<br /><br />btw.... I couldn't name a single current fighter in any weight class. Boxing is dead.<br /><br />No to the McDonalds cups, never seen them until now. And my two sons were Pokemon guys. they had the cards. I took them to one of the movies once and I thought I was going to have seizures from the flashing lights and spastic movements. LOL<br /><br />I know an elementary teacher that says he still sees them in the classroom.
