and to remind everyone that this fight changed this game for ever where they reduced the rounds of the fights from 15 rounds to 12 rounds sothat no one else would die as a result of the length of the fight .

the death was unintentional but look at the outcome of this historical fight , firstly , the refree commited suicide then the mother of Duk koo k , then the sister of Duk koo k then look at the affect it caused on Mancini afterwords , nevertheless, the olympic committee granted south Korea the right to host the olympics as a reword for this hero who faught to the death .. god bless his soul .

Then why does nearly every boxing expert who observed and studied the incident say that dehydration was a huge factor. You obviously have a very basic, and not to mention flawed, understanding of the physiological functions of the human body. A hydrated brain has extra cushioning provided by the water...a dehydrated brain has none. Ask any doctor what they think about boxing while dehydrated and they will tell you it is extremely dangerous and negligent. You're just some know-nothing douche.

How can thing it was Kims fault he died ? May be it was the fact he got hit hard it damaged his brain he fell into a coma and died 4 days after the fight. It was nothing to do with dehydration.

Mancini didn't kill him...Kim was responsible for his own death because he dehydrated himself too heavily in order to make weight.

Wow. Guy with the CBS microphone. Those were the days when Boxing actually came on local television.

I remember Mancini, but I never knew he killed someone in a fight. - I just saw this Movie "Champion" which was about Kim. -

no, i agree.

i think the fact that he died makes the fight better
