childhood memory...

one of my favorite childhood memories happened forty two years ago,today... Muhammad Ali,and Joe Frazier were unbeaten,when they fought their first of their three legendary fights,at Madison Square Garden... Ali lost an unanimous 15 round decision,and Frazier knocked him down with a classic left hook,early in the 15th round... he did complain about the loss to Frazier,in public,but in private,he admitted the loss to Frazier,to friends... i watched the fight,live,at the Alhambra Theatre(now demolished),in Sacramento,on closed circuit television... i still have the tickets for the fight,that night,believe it,or not... what a memory,and a great fight...
