I wasn't even a thought 40 years ago !!

Great event !! Foreman was feared for his punching power and the KO was his only loss in this manner...all other losses were by judge's decision...also read that Rumble in the Jungle was his first loss as a professional...came into fight with record that read 40-0 with only 3 of those going the distance...

Unbelievable that this fight took place in Zaire or Congo in darkest of Africa all those years ago.

Can remember the song that went something like....................

" Once there was a battle there, in Zaire in Zaire..............

Hundred thousand people there, in Zaire in Zaire..............

All those people gathered there, in Zaire in Zaire.................

See the rumble in the jungle there......er....er.............

chorus..........In Zaire in Zaire, In Zaire in Zaire............
