I thought it was a bit cheesy to be honest, though it beats the crap out of any of the anonymous HBO entrances of late. Seriously, what's up with that? I remember when a big fight used to be an event. You barely get pumped up watching Pac or whoever walking to the ring in the middle of a dingy casino to a looped version of "We Will Rock You". Pathetic. The Germans, and the Brits to a degree, still seem to know how to put on a show. The Japanese are still the undisputed masters though. Fcuk, do you remember how awesome some of the Pride entrances were?
I felt the same way. I thought it was wayyy to cheesy
Really? I thought it was done most respectful and it was great to see Ali again. The comparison to Ali was never meant in terms of greatness anyway, but rather to mark that Ali fought Karl Mildenberger in that very stadium 44 years ago.
Personally didn't like it, thought it was corny as hell especially when they changed Bundini's voice for his.
Well edited though, they did a great job.

This is a fantasy fight that will never happen so all Ali and Wlad fans can do is speculate.
One of the best intros i've ever seen, I had a smile on my face the entire time. Gotta love Ali.
Yeah.
I was nostalgic man.
ALI BOMAYE!
Wlad today stops any version of Ali...bad, bad matchup for the greatest.

Now this entrance was EPIC. They have soom creative entrances over there.
Even Vitali's fight against the Polak, his nickname was The Dragon, so they had a huge fire breathing dragon close to the ring
Thats just BADASS. As a fan I love going to boxing shows and theres nothing I hate more than paying $300 and sitting in a smoke filled gym with no production value. Fans are really getting their moneys worth and you can see why they always do 40k+ in germany and EVERYONE in the country is there because its the "it" event. Others wish they can get this much recognition.
Yeah, great stuff - though Vitali's ring entrance in his fight against Peter is still the best imo.
Agreed. This is a close second though.... naaah. It's not close. Vitali's gave me goosebumbs.
