1 00:01:47,407 --> 00:01:50,843 Yet another quick knockout for Mason Dixon, almost perfunctory. 2 00:01:51,044 --> 00:01:53,069 The fans let him know how they feel about it. 3 00:01:53,246 --> 00:01:56,238 Hide the women and children. This could get ugly. 4 00:01:56,416 --> 00:02:00,546 This crowd does nothing to hide its anger over this latest debacle. 5 00:02:00,954 --> 00:02:03,787 The fans are mad as hell. They don't want to take it anymore. 6 00:02:03,990 --> 00:02:06,891 They seem to be blaming Dixon, a good fighter, for the decline... 7 00:02:07,060 --> 00:02:11,326 ... not only of the heavyweight-division guys, but of the entire sport. 8 00:02:11,498 --> 00:02:12,931 They're actually pelting... 9 00:02:13,099 --> 00:02:16,660 ... the undefeated heavyweight champion of the world with ice. 10 00:02:16,836 --> 00:02:20,533 Maybe this angry, visceral reaction will pressure Dixon to fight someone... 11 00:02:20,707 --> 00:02:23,642 ... who can fight back for a change. If there's somebody out there. 12 00:02:23,810 --> 00:02:29,043 All of boxing is hoping for a warrior who thrills us with his passion. 13 00:04:57,130 --> 00:04:59,223 Time goes by too fast. 14 00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:02,664 Yeah?

Muhammad Ali and Rocky Marciano. 499 00:37:25,476 --> 00:37:29,242 Marciano long retired, and Ali unable to fight legitimately... 500 00:37:29,413 --> 00:37:32,780 ... for three years for having refused induction into the armed forces... 501 00:37:32,950 --> 00:37:35,748 ... was in need of money, and agreed to the dream match... 502 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,480 ... whose outcome would be decided by a computer. 503 00:37:38,656 --> 00:37:40,886 It's almost 35 years since Rocky Marciano... 504 00:37:41,058 --> 00:37:43,424 ... won the much-disputed computer decision... 505 00:37:43,594 --> 00:37:46,290 ... and guess what? Not much has changed. 506 00:37:46,464 --> 00:37:48,659 Last week, Rocky Balboa won a decisive fight... 507 00:37:48,833 --> 00:37:51,859 See?

Come on! 1279 01:30:54,649 --> 01:30:58,983 This fight is as though Dixon got on-the-job training in courage. 1280 01:31:00,087 --> 01:31:02,851 - Cover up!
