And that "spectacular" also made it into The Worst TV Shows Ever book from 1980.

Interesting that they were giving Canadian Football a shot. Picking up the CBC feed I presume.
I personally enjoy the CFL but they have never drawn flies on TV here in the States.

 

[Cincinnati Kid]

The boxing from Cincinnati on channels 8 & 49 via the ABC-TV Network would have been the main event of a card that featured hometown lightweight boxer Wallace "Bud" Smith winning a ten-round split decision at Music Hall.
