I think Leonard, Duran, and Pryor with the exception of a few after them was the last of that era of fighters who knew how to box and boxers who knew how to go toe to toe
The holding geez...I guess fighters thought that getting on the inside was the only way to beat the GOAT. And Sugar was like ok, come on in, I'm not going to let you have anything and will tie you up.
I've seen other fight films where the camera was positioned much farther away from ringside, and the amount of smoke throughout the arena was ridiculous.
Old wrestling technique-every time Rocky got inside, he puts his head under Ray’s jaw and moves him around. Harder to get leverage when your head is being swiveled around. You can see why Ray would want to fight Rocky from outside.
Keep in mind that SRR is already 34 here trying to make a comeback. He was attempting to coast as a means to ease into a title bout. He may have underestimated Castellani's tenacity.
Robinson is clearly rusty--missing and mistiming his blows--but the film (in better shape than Jimmy Jacobs seems to indicate, perhaps the flaw is in the cut-off lower third) is a bit too jerky always to be sure which blows are landing solidly. Overall, the bout is too close to be able to say who deserved it and this isn't the whole bout. Still, you can see why most brush off claims for Mayweather over Robinson. Ray is looking to set up something serious at every moment, not just scoring enough to get an edge in the vote, then rolling and scuttling away to kill the clock.
The boxers knew how to fight and the fighters knew how to box what an era of boxing

You can really see the smoke rising up due to all the folks smoking in the foreground.

Robinson stayed sharp by constantly fighting in the ring. A heavy bag doesn't hit back.
Robinson fue el mejor de la historia aquiiii no peleo asu mejor nivel luego gano tres veces el mundial
How did they get Hitler as the referee. But with that aside it’s always great to see the greatest. Thank you
hugging the whole fight
Rocky was my great cousin
Unanimous! Good fight.
Castellani won the fight. Close but not that close. Robinson got the nod because the wise guys had heavy money on Robinson.
close fight with a lot of clinches and not so many clean punches landed.
Castellani got robbed!
Rocky won
Yeah, I thought so too. He out worked Ray late in the fight and also knocked him down. That decision was a gift.
