Young Looked awful against Ali. I've never understood why many rate that as a good performance. Terrible, terrible fight
I agree. Ali was beyond woeful in that fight. He offered nothing. Despite this, Young still did virtually nil. And he kept turning his back and stepping out of the ropes mid round. Young looked fairly ordinary in that fight to me, although I concede his overall 'caginess' is apparent. It was a night best forgotten, and certainly not one you wish a championship to change hands on. Overall, its hard to judge because you have to keep your eyes open for so long...
Haven't watch the fight for a while but as I remember Ali was very aggressive in this fight and made the fight which was never his style does anyone have an explanation why he did this.
