The first thing a WARRIOR should learn is to never quit, if you relax you will lose. These two guys are true warriors. Its a shame Kim died but he knew the risks to be a warrior that much is highly evident, he exuded the spirit of the warrior til the end.
Hey, Xenon676, please don't put "the left" all in one category. I am a progressive and I grew up on boxing. I remember watching this fight live with my dad.
@cmerc25 I heard about the weight loss. I also heard that Kim had a fight only weeks before Mancini. That is a recipe for disaster. What still makes me sick about this is not just that Kim died in a fight that never should have been made to begin with (Kim had not fought a world-class lightweight to that point and in no way should have been ranked No. 1 by the WBA), but the knee-jerk reaction in the aftermath that led to the reduction of the championship distance to 12 rounds.
While the left may call this a brutal exhibition, war is just that when fought by WARRIORS. Make no mistake with the clownmanship that boxing has turned into nowadays, boxing is a war, this isnt the play scripted antics of the WWE. These guys fight to WIN.
One of the finest boxing matches ever recorded on film.

Theres a Korean movie called The Champion about Kims life.
Kim was a beast.

you should hear dog-growling noises as they fight. SCRA-PAY.
