00:13Behind us we have Muhammad Ali's match-worn shorts
00:17from the thrill in Manila in 1975
00:21which is arguably one of the greatest boxing matches of all time
00:24it took place in the sweltering heat of Manila in the Philippines
00:30it was estimated to be 105 degrees that day in the stadium
00:35and Muhammad Ali famously said after the match
00:39that it was the closest to Dian that he's ever felt
00:41Bandini inscribed Thrilla in Manila and the date on the shorts
00:47and you can see that he actually misspelled the word Thrilla
00:51and said Trilla which is kind of a cool piece of the item
00:55and then on the backside you can actually see the red stains
00:59from the ropes of the boxing ring
01:02so Muhammad Ali spent a lot of time during that fight on the ropes
01:07so to speak and you can still see them after nearly 50 years
