At the Press Conference before the bout,
The Champion was performing like some struggling comic, in a back room
lounge at a second-rate Casino in Las Vegas.
The only people laughing were his hangers-on, and a few press hacks.

Yes, could be the worse championship fight ever.
I don't understand how Ali gets a free pass on so many of these outings.
Sure, he did
great things in some famed fights, but he pushed the concepts of "milking the title" and "going through the motions" to unpalatable levels.
