Joe Versus The Volcano

James Toback's documentary Tyson opens in Edmonton this week, a film that deals with Tyson's infamous ear-biting bout with Evander Holyfield. And so, as sort of a tie-in, I chose another boxing documentary to talk about on this week's "Hidden Gems" DVD segment for CBC Radio — a film that deals with perhaps the second-most notorious boxing match of all time. The film is John Dower's Thrilla in Manila, a vivid account of the brutal 1975 fight between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. Click here to give the segment a listen.
