    Ali was my hero. And the Stones too...



    Mine too but more of a Hendrix fan.:thumbsup2:


    I still remember sitting with my dad watching the Clay/Sonny Liiston fight, my dad hated Clay so of coarse that's who I was cheering for.....well in my mind any way. I kept my mouth shut around my dad.....the nuns must have been mean to him as a kid. ;)

    LUIS 'LUMUMBA' ESTABA, was 'oldie' squandered WHEN QUALITY AND MEET THE GLORY TO THE 37 YEARS OF AGE



    At 28 he turned pro the ring. As WBC flyweight title, defended the iconic band 11 times. He was an artist in the use of "prohibited weapons", such as the elbows and knees, and stepped smartly and openly to their rivals.


    Luis Alberto was born on August 13, 1938 in Sucre, Venezuela, where they were born fighters most monarchs of that country: Alfredo Marcano, Antonio Gómez, Rafael Orono, Antonio Esparragoza, Israel Contreras, and Jesus "Kiki" Rojas. He made his professional debut at 29 years old, on February 28, 1967. He knocked out in less than three minutes to rival Pedro Garcia, in Caracas, Venezuela. On 13 September 1975, knocked on Rafael Lovera 4 rounds to be crowned world champion WBC light fly at the age of 37.


    Triumphantly defended his crown in 11 exhibitions, to lose the February 19, 1978 against Mexico Freddie Castillo by knockout in a bout held in Venezuela 14 episodes. On 29 September 1978, tried to regain the world title again, but fell again defeated by knockout in five rounds against Netrnoi Vorasingh, whom he had previously defeated when he defended his crown in 1977.


    Illegal techniques which "Lumumba" managed its forces are not secret affair. Their opponents have complained of receiving footsteps, elbows, headbutts, and knees, but the referees have never seen anything. Challengers finished ground by "the old man". Venezuelan boxer is the most universal has defended a sash, and the most charisma. He concluded his
    professional career with 41 wins, 9 losses, 2 draws and 27 knockouts.


    No es UFC, pero vale la pena recordar este gran Campeón, peleaba con el corazón, inteligencia y todas las partes de su cuerpo que hicieran daño al oponente.



    LUIS «LUMUMBA» ESTABA ERA «VIEJITO» CUANDO DERROCHÓ CALIDAD Y ALCANZÓ LA GLORIA A LOS 37 AÑOS DE EDAD



    A los 28 años se hizo profesional del cuadrilátero. Como titular minimosca del CMB, defendió la faja emblemática en 11 ocasiones. Fue un artista en el uso de «armas prohibidas», tales como los codos y rodillas, y pisaba con elegancia y disimulo a sus rivales.


    Luis Alberto Estaba nació el 13 de agosto de 1938, en Sucre, Venezuela, lugar donde han nacido la mayoría de los púgiles monarcas de ese país: Alfredo Marcano, Antonio Gómez, Rafael Oronó, Antonio Esparragoza, Israel Contreras, y Jesús «Kiki» Rojas. Estaba debutó profesionalmente a los 29 años de edad, el 28 de febrero de 1967. Noqueó en menos de 3 minutos a su rival Pedro García, en Caracas, Venezuela. El 13 de setiembre de 1975, noqueó en 4 asaltos a Rafael Lovera para coronarse campeón mundial de los ligeros mosca del CMB, a la edad de 37 años.


    Defendió triunfalmente su diadema en 11 exposiciones, para perderla el 19 de febrero de 1978 contra el mexicano Freddie Castillo por la vía del nocáut, en un combate de 14 episodios celebrado en Venezuela. El 29 de setiembre de 1978, intentó recuperar el cetro mundial una vez más, pero cayó vencido de nuevo por la vía del nocáut en 5 asaltos contra Netrnoi Vorasingh, a quien había vencido anteriormente cuando defendía su corona en 1977.


    Las técnicas ilegales con las cuales «Lumumba» administraba sus fuerzas no son asunto secreto. Sus contrincantes se han quejado de recibir pisadas, codazos, cabezazos, y rodillazos, pero los árbitros nunca han visto nada. Los retadores terminaban molidos por «el viejito». Es el boxeador venezolano que más ha defendido un fajín universal, y el de más carisma. Concluyó su
    recorrido profesional con 41 peleas ganadas, 9 derrotas, 2 empates y 27 nocáuts.

    Quote from Dan

    That's the fish dance I was talking about. Fedor went on to win both fights. Pride was such a treat to watch. Bas Rutten for me is the best commentator.


    Fedor's brother Alexander gets little love from newer fans... but this fight has always stood out in my mind as his defining moment.

    Both Emelianenko brothers are great example for non-MMA fans of how skill & calm heads prevail over naked aggression and beach muscles. :)
