They weren't Mike Tyson type punches but they did the trick.

Ali was certainly quick.

I've always suspected he was fed those lines by person or persons as yet unknown. These pithy quips rolled out of him at exactly the right time when the media was crowding around him with a score of microphones at the ready.

His brain was put in a blender by all those punches he received, and no doubt at this very moment research scientists are probably examining slices of his brain tissue under microscopes just as they did with Einstein.

****

Boxing is all very passé, of course, having been replaced by the hugely popular Mixed Martial Arts fights ... 'UFC ... 'UFC Fight Night' ... 'Bellator ... 'UFC on Fox' ... 'Ultimate Fighter' ... etc. That's all I watch nowadays.

I couldn't even tell you who the world heavyweight boxing champion is.

After Ali - there wasn't the same excitement about boxing.

You sort of had the brutal Tyson era & then I lost track of it.

It was that idiot Bill Mordey who bought up the television rights to boxing on Free-to-Air TV that put a stop to it for a lot of people. My brother switched to Pay TV ... and then discovered if he wanted to watch a big fight he had to pay extra to have it uploaded to his TV.

Within hours he had the technician come over to take away the box on the outside wall. What a rort.
