Thriller in Manila - More4 9pm

Fantastic - thanks.

Fantastic - thanks.

Watched it.

Loved it, yet again.

Throughout the documentary I couldn't help but think of Sparky and smile, as when it was first on some 8 or so years ago and I was constantly raving about it in the Chit Chat pub and other threads, he kept teasing me about the Chinchilla in Vanilla!

For any boxing fans out there who haven't seen it yet, please try to.

It's such a good re-telling of the time of 2 great heavyweights and the most fearsome boxing match of all time.

As Ferdie Pacheco said "Just watch the 14th round. Then you get why boxing is so revered" - or words like that.

A magnificent documentary.

5th time I've seen this. So great - even better than the Ali-Foreman doc.

That bit with Ali talking about the Klu Klux Klan...ffs...he really was a five star nutter!

Some of the footage from the first fight is brilliant - angles you don't see in the available version. It was an appalling decision by Ali to antagonise Frazier, and it cost him.

"I'm a bad man - I'm badder than Burt Lancaster!"

Towards the end, Frazier looked like a monument......tin of corn for lunch in the gym...
