Very nice! Plus, for the courtesy of you and others who view this, the words of our national anthem were written by Francis Scott Key in the aftermath of the British attack on Fort McHenry during the War of 1812 when he saw the American flag still waving over the fort that morning and below are Mr. Key's words if you want to read them while listening or sing along as you stand with your hand over your heart. The anthem begins at the 2:31 mark. O say, can you see, By the dawn's early light, what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, o'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, 🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆 gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? 🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
We at www.imasportsphile.com responsible for posting this vintage video along with 2500 others just like it are delighted that one of our 7 million viewers appreciates the rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.....cuz by the time we finish posting our entire 12,000 vintage videos.....we will have hundreds of renditions of our National Anthem posted on our site from events like this boxing event.
Thank you! Plus, in case you didn't read my comment in its entirety, the reason I included Mr. Key's words is that many Americans have either forgotten or don't even know them.
Verdict some crowd whistled for its partiality, but you know the host country... 5 yrs later Damiani became WBO world champ.

O say, can you see,
By the dawn's early light,
what so proudly we hailed
at the twilight's last gleaming,
whose broad stripes and bright stars,
through the perilous fight,
o'er the ramparts we watched
were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare,
the bombs bursting in air, 🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆
gave proof through the night
that our flag was still there.
O say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave
o'er the land of the free
and the home of the brave?
