puncher. Another thing the two boxers had in common was natural ability and
poortraining habits. In later years they would become stablemates when
McCoy took over management of Crawford's career and the two fighters became
friends. however, on October 5, 1967 the two brought no friendship into the
Olympic Auditorium ring when the two met for the first of two great
fights.Mando had about an inch in height on Crawford and at the weigh-in
came in nine pounds heavier, which is quite an advantage to a guy under 130
pounds. Before a sellout crowd of 10,500 fans, Frankie Crawford stepped on
Ramos' toes, hit him low, thumbed him and opened cuts with head butts and
elbows. I knew Crawford well and can guarantee you that Fritzie Zivic and Ace
Hudkins had nothing on Frankie when it came to dirty fighting. However,
Crawford beat him legit. It was Crawford who entered the ring in better shape
and who scored an upset decision victory over Ramos. I remember that Frankie
had exhausted himself so much fighting the heavier Ramos, he was given oxygen in
the dressing room after the match.Ramos had lost for the second time in
three months and this was a loss that Mando would have to avenge or forever hold
his peace. Mando turned nineteen a month after losing to Crawford and three
months later, on February 1, 1968 he'd meet Crawford again in a rematch. Mando
entered the ring in shape this time and won a unanimous decision over Crawford.
Mando Ramos was now ready to get back on the road that would lead him to a world
title. http://www.forumboxing.com/hist.html Some of the boxers

the intelligence of horses: I heard on Discovery channel that a rat is much much
smarter than a horse and the dumbest dog is streets ahead of a horse. I have no
idea why we are posting this on this board. |

fans:I do not dislike horses, do in fact think they're very nice
animals. However, there are a number of animals that are smarter - dogs,
dolphins, monkeys, ravens, pigs, and many humans.I had a parakeet once
that I taught to say quite a few words, some even on cues other than my saying
of the word first. I read that man's (woman's too) best friend, the dog, could
talk if its vocal chords were structured differently.Re boxing - after
doing a little research, I found out that Butterbean, the now "boxer," X
Toughman Champion, has fought five rounds many times, and at a furious pace. The
reason I mention this, and the number of rounds, is that this was the time at
which Muhammad Ali is credited for having "cleverly" roped his dope, and seeing
