March 28, 1962. Los Angeles. The legendary Olympic Auditorium. "Classy" Freddie Blassie entered as the hated WWA World Heavyweight Champion, a man so despised that police protection was often needed after his matches. Standing across the ring was Japanese icon Rikidozan, whose popularity had reached superhero status. By night's end, the title had changed hands, one man was left a bloody mess, and the other was perhaps preparing to enlist his "great friend..." President Kennedy... to investigate the outcome of the match. Classic!
