Jimmy Young gave Ali a boxing lesson to end all boxing lessons at the Capittol Center in Laandover Maryland.

Then of course fraud Ali collected his obligatory phony decision from Don King’s judges for “winning” the fight.

The crowd (mostly black) booed Ali so that the whole place shook when he left the ring.

The quickest 10 count in the history of boxing was when Foreman went down from exhaustion. Foreman was getting up when he the fight was called. And let’s never forget that Ali never gave Foreman a rematch. He knew the same tricks would not work a second time around. Doug Jones, who should have won the decision when they fought, also never got a rematch.

You are so right MarvinStinson!! Jimmy won that fight. Jimmy Young always had four opponents in every fight...besides his boxer opponent, he had to take on the usually incompetent judges who loved to screw him over.

Agreed. Smokin Joe beat him like a borrowed mule and still was told Clay won.
