1 00:01:47,917 --> 00:01:51,353 Yet another quick knockout for Mason Dixon, almost perfunctory. 2 00:01:51,554 --> 00:01:53,579 The fans let him know how they feel about it. 3 00:01:53,756 --> 00:01:56,748 Hide the women and children. This could get ugly. 4 00:01:56,926 --> 00:02:01,056 This crowd does nothing to hide its anger over this latest debacle. 5 00:02:01,464 --> 00:02:04,297 The fans are mad as hell. They don't want to take it anymore. 6 00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:07,401 They seem to be blaming Dixon, a good fighter, for the decline... 7 00:02:07,570 --> 00:02:11,836 ... not only of the heavyweight-division guys, but of the entire sport. 8 00:02:12,008 --> 00:02:13,441 They're actually pelting... 9 00:02:13,609 --> 00:02:17,170 ... the undefeated heavyweight champion of the world with ice. 10 00:02:17,346 --> 00:02:21,043 Maybe this angry, visceral reaction will pressure Dixon to fight someone... 11 00:02:21,217 --> 00:02:24,152 ... who can fight back for a change. If there's somebody out there. 12 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:29,553 All of boxing is hoping for a warrior who thrills us with his passion. 13 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,733 Time goes by too fast. 14 00:04:59,909 --> 00:05:03,174 Yeah?

Muhammad Ali and Rocky Marciano. 499 00:37:25,986 --> 00:37:29,752 Marciano long retired, and Ali unable to fight legitimately... 500 00:37:29,923 --> 00:37:33,290 ... for three years for having refused induction into the armed forces... 501 00:37:33,460 --> 00:37:36,258 ... was in need of money, and agreed to the dream match... 502 00:37:36,430 --> 00:37:38,990 ... whose outcome would be decided by a computer. 503 00:37:39,166 --> 00:37:41,396 It's almost 35 years since Rocky Marciano... 504 00:37:41,568 --> 00:37:43,934 ... won the much-disputed computer decision... 505 00:37:44,104 --> 00:37:46,800 ... and guess what? Not much has changed. 506 00:37:46,974 --> 00:37:49,169 Last week, Rocky Balboa won a decisive fight... 507 00:37:49,343 --> 00:37:52,369 See?

Come on! 1279 01:30:55,159 --> 01:30:59,493 This fight is as though Dixon got on-the-job training in courage. 1280 01:31:00,597 --> 01:31:03,361 - Cover up!
