Jimmy Young - "The Ali Fight Was the Turning Point"

I wonder what round he hurt Ali's ear drum in. Any idea?

 

You know, that would explain a lot about why Ali looked so terrible and "off" all night. Would explain a whole lot to a whole lot of people, actually.

Ali was used to being out of shape and yet still embarrassing elite, young talent like Dokes years after the Young fight, and yet he here, in a real fight, could accomplish less than nothing over the course of 15.

Like I've already said, no one ever did that to Ali. Period. Any version of him. Only Young.

 

I've explained the difference, if your body is outside the ropes it is not a legal target,if you are leaning back as far as the ropes will permit but still inside them ,your opponent has every right to continue hitting you. I'm not a worshipper but neither am I a hater like you and keep your smart mouth for those that appreciate you snotty ****! It's not my fault you are too dumb to see the difference.

 

Supposition is not fact .

 

This response is so stupid it really doesn't deserve a reply.

 

Pity it doesn't overwhelm you to the point of putting you into CATATONIA

 

inside the ropes, yes, but outside the ring. and what cobra just said there, post after post, after post. Jimmy Young kicked a lot of ass! Some people just don't know it!!!!!

 

If you don't understand the difference between leaning on the ropes while facing your opponent and turning your back on your opponent to stick your whole upper body out of the ring, no one can really help you.

 

I'm at a loss how the rope a dope can be questioned for it's legality!
Ali wasn't exactly fighting from the front row in there,all I saw was a monster trying to smash the head and liver of a stationary target, inside the ropes.
I mean if Ali had announced before the fight that this was going to be his tactics against George Foreman of course there would have been a universal chorus of approval.
"Good idea Ali, lay on the ropes against Foreman."

 

Catatonia isn't death you idiot! You began the nonsense with your snidey remarks about Ali being my idol,Im nearly70 I don't have idols.
Young had more than his head outside the ropes numb nuts.Read this.

Seven years younger and 21 pounds lighter, Young adopted a strategy of fighting aggressively from a distance, landing numerous light blows while dodging and parrying Ali's counterpunches, and using his body blows, which had little power behind them but were effective at scoring points. At close quarters, Young would turn passive. He retreated whenever possible, and often kept his head ducked very low to force Ali not to punch him in the head (it is illegal to punch a fighter in the back of the head) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_punch.

On several occasions when Ali was inside and Young had his back to the ropes, Young would intentionally put his head or upper body out of the ring to compel the referee to separate the fighters. To some[who?], Young's was a brilliant strategy of neutralizing his opponent's strengths and forcing the bout to be fought on his own terms, exposing Ali's inability to fight a counterpuncher. To others[who?], it seemed cowardly as he forced a stoppage to the fight every time Ali held the advantage.

The referee did at one point during the fight initiate a count due to Jimmy Young being outside the ropes. The fight went the full 15 rounds with a controversial one-sided unanimous decision going to Ali. Referee Tom Kelly scored it 72-65; judges Larry Barrett and Terry Moore had it 70-68 and 71-64, respectively.[3]
Young landed numerous borderline body punches duck his head below waist height illegal and intentionally put his head and upper body through the ropesto avoid punches ,Now watch the video at 2'34 and see the referee begin a count because he is deliberately putting his upper body outside the ring.Educate yourself you moron!
