El Presidente Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Sit back sometime this week with a cigar and a drink and treat yourself to the full documentary. Check out the trailer for now. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Chibearsv Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I remember watching that guy in the olympics. 72 and 76 maybe? He was a very good fighter and stood a head or more taller than his opponents. Thanks for the flashback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nino Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Just watched the full docu and loved it - truly an historical showpiece. Loved Teofilo and Muhammad sparring at the end, lovely sight of two great boxers in their sunsets. Thanks, great docu ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgixxer252525 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Teofilo turned down millions and ended up riding a bike to get where he had to go...never could enjoy the fruits of his labor like he should have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyO Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Foreman, Frazier, Ali, Norton would have killed him if a fight ever came together. Big difference between fighting 3 rounds vs 15, he did not have their hand speed and was a one handed fighter. The $5 million supposedly offered to him is a STRAIGHT LIE as Ali's earning's for the "Thriller in Manila" was $4.5 million vs Joe Fraziers $2 million. He'd a been lucky to get Chuck Wepner money ($100K). BTW, the government gave him 2 houses and 2 cars after his '72 gold medal. Him riding around Cuba on only a bicycle was another fantasy.
