The "Thrilla in Manila" was a fight for the ages. Not as good as their first fight, but a great back and forth struggle (Ali early and late and Frazier in between) between two fighters who, although past their primes, always brought out the best in each other and made for classic encounters.

Barrera vs. Robbie Peden who beat Nate Campbell twice on 9/17. Peden seems to be getting better as he ages. I don't know if you've ever seen the clip, but Peden knocked out Campbell when Campbell dropped his hands to taunt him. Campbell at the time was having his way with Peden and was beating him fairly easily before Peden dropped a bomb on him. Peden won the rematch which was fought in Australia fairly easily.
