The Last Round

Ruddell 27 February 2005 21:07:19
 
A DVD which my wife gave me for Christmas. Finally got to watching it
this afternoon and wow, it's a must for any boxing fan...seriously, I
know that sounds like a cliche but it really is good.

*reads it*

Oh c'mon! George Chuvalo? They made a documentary about him? So what if
he went 15 with Ali? The guy had a head made outta bricks and that was
his only asset. He fought every name fighter in his era: Ali,
Patterson, Shavers, Foreman; he fought them all and he lost. He was a
trial horse! That is no Rocky story. But to each his own I guess. Next
thing you know, they're going to make a movie about Tommy Morrison.

Oh wait...

Yes, and it's quite interesting. But never mind, you wouldn't like it.

 Looks like an interesting DVD that's worth taking a look at, Rudell. A
guy I knew who was originally from Toronto and was acquainted with
Chuvalo, used to tell about the bar room "head butting" contests that he
was known for around the city. According to him, Chuvalo, and anyone who
would have a go against him, would square off about 4 feet apart and at
the count of 3 - both would lunge at one another with heads lowered
until their sculls met with all the force they could muster. I remember
him saying that rarely did any of these challengers last more than one
of these collisions with Chuvalo, let alone win one of them! IIRC,
Chuvalo had told him he got the inspiration for this type of competition
while watching a documetary that featured Dall sheep (rams) going at
it.

Well, Sanity - assuming that you're not being facetious, of course, not
having ever witnessed any of these barroom encounters myself, I'd have
to say that basically, most anything is possible I suppose. I can say
for certain however, I wouldn't care to be one who would have the
temerity to ask Mr.Chuvalo if he had emulated the aforementioned beasts
in the manner you have described - even though he's around 65 years of
age by now!

Good point. I've changed my mind and I won't ask George.
