    The Mandela 1983 Effect perhaps? :D

    You might want to review that fight.

    At fights end, Roberto’s corner told him “You’re gonna need bigger points next time”. ;)

    I watched it yesterday and scored it 97-93 Ali. I don't understand the fuss around this fight. Clear win by then Cassius Clay. If I had to put it in the old school scoring by rounds, it would be 6-3-1. The best I could give Jones is 4 rounds, which is still a win for Ali. I see no argument for the draw, let alone Jones' win.
