Just an itty bitty small correction, the great gama was born in a city called Amritsar in India (before it split into India and Pakistan) and he did Pehlwani wrestling, not turkish oil wrestling

[@FactFiend]

My bad, I was likely confusing him with another impossible buff moustachioed man-mountains I’ve written about in the past. Appreciate the correction and pinned it. - Karl

[@Nomad_786]

@@FactFiend I respect Karl for not being a absolute douche for being corrected. Ive seen other peoples go crazy over being corrected.

He is always getting facts wrong, the guy is a buffoon

@@FactFiend I’d like to add to what others have commented, by stating that I appreciate your straightforward way of explaining things. I also want to say that I’ve seen people get upset at your political opinions, and I think they can shove it. Us true fans love to hear what you have to say.

For anyone interested in the anime clip they used, it's called Heroes of the ancient Olympic Games. There are 5 episodes, each 5 minutes long.

[@christianbarrett3040]

@@novaleader7305 Your point? Anime is a great source of entertainment

[@ZeallustImmortal]

5 minutes each? Wow. Talk about a short series.

[@christianbarrett3040]

@@ZeallustImmortal honestly there are even shorter ones, like 1-2 minutes an episode

If you ever want to do another video on interesting boxers, I would suggest looking into Nicolino Locche. He was an Argentine boxer who was kind of the opposite of Earnie Shavers or Sam Langford. He couldn't hit very hard at all, but had a ton of fights with the majority of them being wins. Because his defense was so insanely good, that people rarely ever got a clean hit on him; and he exhausted people. His nickname in spanish translated to "The Untouchable," and he also hated training and basically chain smoked to keep his weight down.

[@skylerdiotte]

I worked on a theatre show about him and I've met his descendents and was luckily invited to his childhood home in Weymouth Nova Scotia Canada. I'm sooo amazed to hear you talk about Sam!

[@radotic1]

Steven Bradbury the Aussie ice skater who won gold by hanging back and waiting/hoping the other skaters all wipe out and then cruising past them for the win.

[@johnathenthomsen9981]

You should absolutely publish that book man, I think it’d get eaten up

[@oliverejcousins2163]

I wouldn't fight a boxer who trained in the same way that Abraham Lincoln trained to kill vampires - chopping trees.

[@kristophersurma6459]

I’m going to ask how many other people want Karl to publish his book? It sounds EXACTLY like the kind of book I want for my collection!

[@louispurslow6545]

A favourite story of mine about an athlete being built different is Janja Garnbrett. She was in the semi finals of a lead climbing event when her chalk bag fell a few moves in (chalk is pretty much necessary for climbing). She still topped the route with time to spare and (if I remember correctly) won gold at the finals as well.

[@s.castellino4306]

Early baseball has some crazy stories about athletes. Jackie Mitchell was an amazing ball player and struck out both Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Yetno one has ever heard of her

[@craigstoner2632]

Being a world champion in baseball is, on the world stage, comparable to being regional champions. Noone cares about baseball, its not international. Probably why I only know babe Ruth is because his name is 2 things you'd call a woman, and uncommon.

Loving the clips being added. Keep up the good work Karl :)

[@wikidclownchris]

Just got in from doing a 14 hour shift What better way to decompress than have a bowl of cereal and watch a new fact fiend video.

[@alpujugo]

Finally got a video of yours recommended instead of me searching for you guys

[@mugemobi]

Karl's ugly sweater at the end of January reminds us that we need to take down our Christmas tree(yes we know it was likely filmed during the holidays)

Was awesome hearing you shout out Kipchoge the GOAT🐐🐐 He truly is the greatest long distance runner of all time. He's your favourite's favourite Would love a full video on him. Mad love from Kenya 🇰🇪

[@laurabryan6938]

So basically this boxer is like the real one punch man

[@matthewgarrison156]

Sam Langford is well known in boxing circles as " the greatest fighter to never get a title shot" or the " most ducked fighter of all-time"

[@donovanchilton5817]

Even Dempsey ducked Langford.

[@---l---]

This is a another great episode

[@chronowolf4734]

Forget the OPM Boros fight as an artistic representation, should've just used any of the manga panels where Ippo punches someone for the first time. I don't remember if any were recreated in the anime, but the panels are very evocative.

[@CBenGood]

The FFX music over the swim race cracked me up to tears

[@PleasantlyEmpathic9924]

About The Great Gama there's a story about him, i think when he was a teen? Back in his village, he'd casually walk around while carrying a boulder weighing up to 1200 Kg (1200000 grams, 1.322774 US tons). It's also stated that his workout regimen played a part in inspiring Bruce Lee himself.

[@corneliusdwyer1824]

"there's no rules in Race Wars" 👀

[@mrtb7676]

The Australian cricket captain Greg Chappell ordered his brother Trevor to bowl the final ball underarm, not to thwart any individual record by the New Zealand batsman Brian McKechnie, but to prevent him scoring the winning runs by hitting a six (clearing the boundary on the full), something he was exceptionally unlikely to do anyway.

[@callumwarren3342]

Most educated boxing enthusiasts place Sam Langford in the top three pound for pound all time greats, right there next to Harry Greb and Sugar Ray Robinson. Sam was the fucking MAN.

[@onebrokebunni]

Late to the party bud deadass I would buy a PDF of that book. lol

PUBLISH THE BOOK

[@shzze]

Along with race wars there's also the real event Raceism which started in Poland if I remember right

[@shzze]

@Hunter that was my same reaction when hearing about it back in the day, at least the promoters are now fully aware of what the events name sounds like and use it to push for inclusivity in the car scene, but I think it did start as just a genuine lost in translation accident

[@davidevans2863]

Deontay Wilder is similar in this respect with his absolutely devastating sledgehammer of a right hook, by far the hardest hitting in the heavyweight division, Unfortunately he sunk all of his stats into his punch and the rest of his boxing abilities are average/slightly above average and could be beaten soundly by many more technical boxers in the division, but aside from Furys resurrection on the mat, if he lands a big hand on anybody, they are going down. It doesnt help of course that Wilder come across as a massive bellend.

[@donovanchilton5817]

Sam was a full foot shorter than Wilder and competed from feather to heavyweight. The man was an absolute anomaly we will never see again in the sport of boxing.

Has Karl at any time talked about Rick Barry? NBA MVP who lost on purpose in conference finals because he hated his team. And the team hated him. (also he played with a wig)

[@ThomasAndersonbsf]

you might say we would be much less along than we are because of the challenges of such things, and proof is in the pudding with how the lack of challenges to people today have stifled our progress scientifically and politically. We need to bring back challenge in some way to motivate people. I guess worry about climate and such is something that is motivating some, but there are also those grifters that use fear of these things to get rich but do nothing to solve any of the issues that are claimed as being present.
