Episode 16 - 30 for 30: Muhammad and Larry

Documenteers: The Documentary Podcast - A podcast by Bob Sham & Friends

Categories:

It's been a sweet 16 episodes of your favorite documentary-themed podcast! Bob Sham and Drew get back into the 30 for 30 way of things with Albert Maysles and Bradley Kaplan's "Muhammad and Larry". This film chronicles an aspect of the legendary Muhammad Ali that doesn't get discussed too much...the times he got his ass beat. It happens to the best of us, and even Ali had to lose eventually. But the guy who beat him, Larry Holmes, defended his title a record 16 times over the years and yet the average person likely doesn't know who he is. Much less that the guy is a fantastic singer who is as down-to-earth as a heavy-weight champ can be. Seriously, Larry Holmes likes to sing. Come sing with us. Bet you can't last 10 rounds.
