Highlights of four classic bouts will be featured on AKTV Action Television ?Super Fights? on IBC 13 at 9:00 p.m. tonight.
A growing following that watched the ?Fight of the Century? between Muhammad Ali and ?Smokin Joe? Frazier in the initial telecast followed by heavyweight champion ?Iron Mike? Tyson?s battle with former champion Larry Holmes will get a chance to watch four division champion Roberto ?Hands of Stone? Duran in a ten round bout against Felix Jose Hernandez and flamboyant WBO, WBC and IBF featherweight champion Prince Naseem Hamed clash with former champion Kevin ?Flushing Flash? Kelley.
Also featured on the show will be highlights of the controversial 10th round TKO victory of Rocky Graziano whose life story was made into the highly successful movie ?Somebody Up There Likes Me? and Tony Janiro .
?Super Fights? will recall a touch of boxing history which was written on December 26, 1908 at Rushcutter?s Bay Stadium in Sydney, Australia when for the first time a black man ? Jack Johnson, nicknamed ?Galveston Giant? - battled then heavyweight champion Tommy Burns of Canada who was born Noah Brusso, before some 20,000 fans.
