One of the greatest slugfests of all time happened 33 years ago when two defensively-challenged heavyweight boxers left one the world's most eloquent sportscasters, Howard Cosell, at a total loss for words.
For Cosell—a man who made his living from constructing sentences from a wealth of verbs and adjectives—being left speechless was certainly something that didn't happen very often.
Of course I’m speaking of the Jan. 24, 1976, match-up between George Foreman and Ron Lyle.
I don’t know about you, but nothing could be more intensely satisfying to me than witnessing two power-punchers attempting to knock each other’s block off.
Enjoy
