Muhammad Ali vs Jimmy Young: who really won?

I still think Ali won … scoring a boxing match IMO includes more than punches thrown … but other than Ali being out of shape and looking like s**t it revealed a weakness in his bag. He could look lost if he had to be the pursuer.

 

Just completed my viewing. Here is how I scored the fight:

Muhammad Ali vs Jimmy Young

Round 1: 9-10 Young
Round 2: 9-10 Young
Round 3: 9-10 Young
Round 4: 10-9 Ali
Round 5: 10-9 Ali
Round 6: 10-9 Ali
Round 7: 9-10 Young
Round 8: 9-10 Young
Round 9: 9-10 Young
Round 10: 10-10 Tie
Round 11: 9-10 Young
Round 12: 10-8 Ali
Round 13: 10-9 Ali
Round 14: 9-10 Young
Round 15: 10-9 Ali

Final score: 143-142 YOUNG

 

That is reasonable scoring of that fight.

 

Is it even mathematically possible to score it for Young if he was knocked down six times?

 

It would’ve literally killed Ali’s career the public would’ve never forgiven him.

 

Young was not a very good fighter IMO he fought in a very off beat, weird and negative way and someone like Ali despite being a better boxer was sucked into it, Ali would suffer greatly as you say as a pursuer today it’d be his standard role he isn’t overly tall and against the likes of Wlad… yes Ali was out of shape but it didn’t effect his boxing IQ or “skills”
