Mohammed Ali was smart, clever, a joy to watch...grace, balance, quickness and  power.  we saw the leon spinks fight in a thai restaurant in SF eating family style with the family - 3 or 4 generations, that owned the place .  the closed sign had gone up.  suddenly the whole family came streaming out of the kitchen , carrying dishes of food.  they pushed tables together, included pregnant me and hubby, and flipped the TV to the Ali fight.  they were very excited.. little tiny grandma kept making punching moves with her little hands..chattering.  she was really into it and everyone thought it was funny....  surreal and i'll never forget that fight.
