Questionable punch huh? Ali busted him up and knocked him out. He ran right into that right hand.

 

Here is a first hard account of the fight from SI. Accurately described the above video and further shows the ongoing lies from this threads originator.

In the first round, Clay tried for a knockout. Cassius came down off his toes and relentlessly hit Miteff's face with multiple combinations, at times without dispute. But Miteff seemed to withstand these blows well and lunged forward with infrequent but strong hooks to Clay's body. It was still Cassius' round by a large margin.

In the second, Clay continued to fire at will until, after one prolonged attack by the ropes, Miteff caught him with an enormous right, slowing Clay down for the rest of the round, which Miteff won. Toward the bell, Clay's punches, though as numerous as before, seemed to be losing their effectiveness. Alex hit him a good shot after the bell and then apologized theatrically to the booing crowd.

Between the second and the third rounds Dundee told Cassius to start boxing, and he did, sticking and moving to good advantage. Miteff seemed to get more loutish as the fight progressed, occasionally letting his arms fall by his side and daring Clay to hit him, at other times making curious faces. Through the fourth and fifth rounds the pattern remained the same: Alex hooking for the body, and Clay either tying him up or fencing him off with rapid, appallingly accurate sequences of blows to his bruised face.

It was still a relatively close fight, and Miteff was very much in it, indeed often the aggressor, when the end suddenly came in the middle of the sixth round. Cassius had started a combination with a fairly tentative left jab, a measuring jab, no more, which didn't move Alex's head. He followed it with a short right hand of great sweetness that hit Alex on the point of the chin, and Alex went down slowly. He stumbled up at perhaps four or five and seemed able to continue the fight, but he was truly out on his feet, lurching along the ropes and then, in the determined important walk of a drunk, toward his corner. Referee Don Asbury stopped the fight as it was incontestably apparent that Miteff was in no shape to go on.

"I was surprised," Alex admitted afterward. He touched himself on the chin. "Just catch me on button," he said. "Things happen. It was like a dream. Everything is luck."

"We figured the kid would tire in the later rounds," Gil Clancy said. "Only there were no later rounds."

It was a notable victory for Clay, proving his ability to endure as well as dish out, and Dundee was well pleased with his prodigy.

"Listening," he told Clay. "That's the difference. If you listen and fight smart you can beat any fighter."

"He's got a long way to go," said Solomon McTier, who worked Clay's corner. "But he's going to come. Climb on my back, Cassius. I'm going to carry you to the hotel."

 

Pepe's pretty partisan.

I've got eyes. The fight wasn't all that competitive, and the knockout, conclusive.

 

I've been following the hwt division since the 70's and watching it closely. What you are trying to say (with made up info) never occured. Play you silly game with others on here but not with those who can see through you like a cheap lampshade.

 

Seriously Pepe, what the **** is the matter with you? Were you dropped repeatedly on your head as a child or something? If so, I feel badly for you and all that, but good ****ing god.......your posts are like that of a damn psychopath. Seek help, you wanker.

 

Its fine to hate a man so much you always take the negative angle. Its quite a different thing to just make things up as that poster does over and over again. Ali retired nearly 35 years ago...whatever anomosity you harbor get over it!

 

Quote:
"As earler stated, Alex received a $10,000 fight purse to 'play ball', as he
had planned to retire anyway.

The right hand that dropped Alex, was anything but a hard punch. Nothing
more than a half-power short right hand that any decent heavyweight
would have absorbed without a 'flinch'."

That sounds like Lewiston, Maine 4 years later.

The plan worked once..maybe they did it a second time.
