Back then, fighters used to get hit in the back of the head so much and the ref didn't do anything about it. Now days it's different.
Basilio had underrated boxing skills in my opinion.
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Those were some brutal hits Robinson was taking, what an amazing chin.
Mind you this was also when boxing insiders were saying SRR was nothing like he used to be speed wise.
Yeah, was he post prime in this fight? (many have said his best was at welterweight)

Nice.
Robinsons jab is a frightening weapon. Sooo fast.

His eye closed shut is from the 2nd fight. An uppercut caught him in 2 or 3 and he fought most the fight with 1 eye. Basilio is awesome.
Great fight, good music, well put together.

Yeah, thanks for the pictures. Basillo came back well from 6:54 onwards and I was thinking TKO until Robinson recovered.
