That was Archie Moore, one of the great old-time boxers, still holding the record for most knockouts in his career. He faced Yvon Durelle, and was kncoked down 3x in the first round, and several times after that, but hung in there and eventually KO'd Durelle in the 11th round.

After the fight, Archie Moore was asked, "How did you do it? How did you keep coming?"

Moore responded by saying, "I had to go home and be able look my bulldog in the eye."
