    Ali was all eyes all senses in the ring, he smelled when his guy was hurt, and he had the speed and the finishing instinct to take him out.

    I think Foreman would be the last to complain about it. he was done,exhausted.

    I do. Foreman was up at 9.5, and let's not forget the round was pretty much over with just a few seconds left.

    This means Foreman makes it to his corner and gets a full 60 seconds of rest. I think Ali still wins, possibly via late round TKO.

    Foreman was thoroughly confounded. He almost looked embarrassed to be so outsmarted in there. A redeeming characteristic? Looked like a bit of humility to me.
