I watched the Rumble in the Jungle. 1974, via satellite to a movie theater, what a fight. 8 rounds of raw power from Ali and Forman. Incredibly!

Ali wins by KO. But Forman pummeled Ali as Ali introduced the rope-a-dope. Good possibility the neurological damage Ali suffered was caused by George Forman pummeling Ali against the ropes. Many good shots to the head, though mostly body shots.

Great freaking fight.
