This is a fight that UFC fans have been dreaming about the second their first match ended.

James Braddock was a light heavyweight boxer who was forced to retire after breaking his hand in the last fight on September 25th, 1933. He began working as a laborer at the dock because he had no other source of income to support his family, and struggling to make money in order to pay for the heating and electric bills and buy food. James still had a dream to box, and months after retiring from boxing, Joe Gould wanted him to be a last-minute substitute to fight against the second-rank contender. James ended up winning, which nobody expected. After his last win, he was back to boxing. He constantly won fights after that.

"This is a great matchup between two veteran heavyweights who can show a lot of the younger kids how it's done," said Oscar De La Hoya, president and founder of Golden Boy Promotions. "I'm really looking forward to this one and as far as picking a winner, it's a toss-up."

I don’t know who’ll win, but I want to see the fight though, I’ll definitely pay to see those two guys go at it. It won’t be Frazier-Ali, but it’ll be an entraining

Holm will hope to use her punches from her experience in boxing to keep Rousey at bay long enough for her endurance to make an impact. At one point, Holm was seen as the potential biggest threat to Ronda Rousey, because of her excellent striking abilities. However, after failing to live up to that potential in her first two fights in the UFC, expectations have seen a steady

Titles are on the line. Muhammad Ali aka Cassius Clay vs Smokin Joe Frazier in the Thrilla in Manila for their third meeting. Before the fight Ali was not training he was confident in his win. Even his crew would call Joe Frazier and his crew just washed up. Both men come to the ring ready for their rematch of a fight which came after a fight between Joe Frazier and George foreman who Ali beat but Joe did not. So, the question was can Joe beat someone who beat a person that you lost to well. Joe was ready to come out swinging. It was an aggressive fight, which it need to be because it was titled as their last ever meeting. Both men in the final

I have always loved watching the Rocky films. There is something about the brutish drive of a boxer that draws my respect. When his vision is blurring, and the crowd is whirring, and his conditioning proves insufficient, the fighter has to find a will to win. This transcendent drive is a tool that I have used throughout my lifetime. It has spurred my achievement and has taught me to obliterate my perceived limitations, just as Mr. Balboa did in countless bouts against ominous obstacles and foes.

Before accepting this challenge Rocky was long retired from his boxing career, however he did plan to re-enter the ring after reminiscing about many of the moments he had experienced during his career. Rocky was determined to go back onto some local fights but he never imagined the challenge against Mason Dixon coming his way. This opponent was one of the fastest and youngest men Rocky would be fighting. He decided to dedicate a lot of his time to training for this fight. Not only was this fight going to be one of the greatest, but it was also an opportunity for him to let out the “beast” inside of him. Rocky felt he could not turn down this

James was the last person they could find who would fight without training, mainly because of the purse that would come just from losing. James takes the fight, knowing that the money will bring his kids back, but to the surprise of the people who all thought James was a washed up has been, James wins the fight in resounding fashion, showing a swagger and determination that he hadn’t shown in years. This win sets up another fight, which he is supposed to lose, but of course doesn’t. When it becomes evident that James is a different fighter than he once was, the boxing commission sets up a fight for the heavyweight championship of the world between Braddock and Max Baer, a feared fighter known for having already killed two men in the
