Ray Mancini v. Duk Koo Kim

[fozzy40]

I just watched the movie "Champion" which is about this tragic and historic fight. Does anyone know of any other fights or cases that have changed the rules of boxing?

boom boom is from the same home town as me and it totally ruined him

Fighters have died in the ring before but why was this fight impetus to change the rules?

the punishment that du ku kim was allowed to take by the referre was a sick.
that man took more shots to the head without convincingly defending himself is one of the reasons i believe

[fozzy40]

I wonder what was going on in his corner. I wonder if the coach wanted to throw the towel in?

[g-bells]

they were complete idiots for letting their fighter take a beating like that.
in my oppinion they should 've been banned from boxing for life

what about the fight between chavez vs meldrick tailor..when youre fighting for the world championship of the world..you put ur health and ur life on the line..how can ur chief second throw the towel when ur fighting with all ur might..(like tailor did with chavez..even though the ref stopped the fight at 2second remaining of the last round)..but KIM was hell of a man for standing through mancini's heavy heavy shots. R.I.P

anyone know where i can download CHAMPION with english subs???
