Yeah, the 'Toronto 5'. It was an exhibition, around 1975.

Chris Eubank put on exhibitions in the Middle East, that weren't recorded as pro fights, one of them was against Dario Matteoni.

I have this on the comp, its funny. Foreman is throwing wild shots, making weird gestures and movements and just behaving strangely. He really fell apart after that loss to Ali.

Yeah, lol, he was jumping up and down at one point I remember.

With both feet together, he was bouncing from side to side.

Rene Barrientos of the Philippines faced three guys in Manila on the night of New Year's Day 1966: Ely Yares, Baby Paramount and Carl Penalosa. Barrientos was three years and a month shy of winning the vacant WBC SuperFeatherweight title by besting Ruben Navarro (UD 15), and had lost to Flash Elorde in an OPBF Lightweight bid (PNTs 12).

The three-fight series was comprised of Barrientos' 16th, 17th and 18th pro outings. Barrientos won all three, UD.
