Seeing the Truth through Replay_Laila vs. Karen Bill

Television can show segments of something, and you may not catch all that you need to catch. The news man will tell it how he sees it, but it may not be the way you see it when you see it. If you haven’t seen your favorite athlete in a particular sport, you may read about that athlete on the internet and everybody’s opinion. That happened to me trying to keep up with the news of Laila Ali. I never saw some of Laila’s past fights like the fight she had against Karen Bill. In a forum back in 2005, I read that Laila never talked about that fight. I read that Karen knocked Laila down and that the fight should have been a rematch. That’s not how I saw it when I finally saw some of the fight.

When I saw some of the fight for myself, I saw Laila Ali falling. It did not appear to look like she was really knocked down or dropped. It made me wonder if the canvas was slippery or if she just lost her balance in the way she fell. Laila appeared to fall like somebody knocked her feet from beneath her standing up. Her arms were in the air falling backwards. When Laila got up, she had the “this is it” attitude. She went after Karen Bill as if she was determined to punish her, and she did. Laila won that fight, and I did not see a need for a rematch.
