30th October 1974. Kinshasa, Zaire played host to what was arguably the most famous boxing clash of all-time as Ali beat the odds to regain the title from the formidable and previously invincible George Foreman.

Incidentally, anyone interested who hasn't already done so should check the excellent Oscar-winning documentary about the fight, the aftermath and all the crazy build-up: When We Were Kings. Norman Mailer also chronicled the events in his excellent book The Fight.

The latest 'rumble' - Froch-v- Groves -was ended by the referee, much to the chagrin of Groves, who looked no more shaken than Froch had been earlier in the fight.

What was the official scared of? And why? I never trust these folk with the ability to determine the outcome of any sporting contest - especially when there are so many ways in which they can suddenly produce a game-changing 'decision'...

I think Froch was probably going to go on and knock him out but it was a bit of a funny decision. Groves did seem to be just hanging on but I bet it wouldn't have been stopped if it was the other way around.
