Jerry Rhome is back in Atlanta, he's been training lately and still has great technique (including those kicks!) and passion all these years later. Terrific fighter and a great guy.
I was there. Atlanta March 1977. They weren't using Boxing gloves but instead used the safety gear used in point tourneys. Scott was the champ. Rhome looked great and with great skill he hit Scott with everything but the stool in the corner. Dropped Scott at least twice.It looked like a done deal but finally Rhome got tired of hitting Scott and ran out of gas losing by KO. A dramatic finish. The referee was the legendary Jim Harrison. thanks for posting this. Brings back
