Yeah, fights don’t have great names like that anymore.
Of course the Rumble in the Jungle and the Thrilla in Manila had two things in common; a boxer named Muhammad Ali and the heavyweight championship. Not even Tyson could produce sell out bouts like Ali where 60,000 filled the venue in Quezon city, in the middle of the day, to watch the fight.
