Great show, and no commercials!
There's a lot of merit to the claim that Paret's death was the result not only of Griffith's punches but also of the brutal beating he received from Gene Fullmer. When they showed Fullmer knocking out Paret it was clear that Paret should not have been fighting again for a long time, if ever.
