The OLYMPIC was famous!! Bit...a great fight doctor story involves Smokin' Joe Frasier, Frasier was blind in his left eye, so when the Dr. would ask Joe to do the eye exam, Joe would take his left hand and cover his right eye and read the first cople of lines, " E,Z, etc., etc., "...then the doc would ask him to do the other eye, and he'd take his right hand and cover his right eye again! <lol> Joe said, "worked everytime", in fact, in the THRILLA IN MANILLA...the reason Eddie Futch threw in the towel was because Ali closed Frasiers right eye, his good eye,and Joe was blind in the left eye!! In fact, Futch said Frasier fought the 13th round BLIND....he told Futch in the corner to not stop the fight...Frasier pleaded for it to continue, and Futch asked him, How will you know where he's at? Joe said, " when he hits me, I'll know where he is!".....Frasier was great!!!
