Rest In Peace Mohammed Ali and Antonio Inoki.🙏

When you play Tekken with your friend but they just spam the 1 move they know

I have never seen ALI kick before. That was pure gold

2:39 Ali was so funny 🤣

ルール上、ほとんどのプロレス技を封じられた猪木にはこの戦法しかなかった。判定に関しては出来レースだったがアリの脚は相当のダメージを負ってしまった。

R.I.P. Muhammad Ali & Antonio Inoki

Good thing about both was that both acknowledged the other's advantage at some point. Ali mentioned continued pain and discomfort in his legs. Inoki admitted that standing and going toe to toe with Ali would have ended the match much faster and he would have no chance at lasting this long

I have trouble believing this is real, Ali only threw one punch. Inoki didn't use his wrestling, he just kicked. Many of those kicks were real af though.

Coming from the perspective of the modern era of mixed martial arts, this was actually fascinating to watch and understand.

やっぱりあのミスターアリと同じリングに上がって異種格闘技戦を行った猪木さんは偉大ですね。しっかりしたルール説明がなかったのがいまでも残念でしたが、試合までの両陣営のやり取りが後で知らされておもしろかったです。

Imagine being so big you could make your opponent $4M dollars for a novelty fight, that's about $30M by today's standards

Epic BAKI moment

アリですら総合ルールになるとレスラー相手に何もできないという現実 当たり前と言えば当たり前だけど、初めて見たときは衝撃的だったな

This is the actual beginning of MMA. Believe it or not

People laughed at Inoki for being a sad fighter but in reality them blows gave Ali blood clots and he almost died from it- Now legs kicks are common in fighting.

初めて映像見た。メチャメチャ客沸いてんじゃん！世紀の凡戦とか聞いてたからずっと白けたムードで終わったんだと思ってたよ。

Mio dio ma cos è quest'incontro 🤣🤣 non l'avevo mai visto fino ad ora... È carino ma strano allo stesso tempo, anche perché sono due arti marziali differenti, la boxe di ali e il wrestling di ionki... Bello però

Alis style is 100% different than any other fight he's had you can tell he's fighting for pure entertainment but also fighting not to look like a fool but also be funny, these are two legends in the ring this whole match should be in the Hall of Fame.. this is LEGENDARY

saw this exact video on a facebook channel today..over 2 million views...love it!

賛否両論あれどリアルタイムで見れたのは幸せ。当日の試合直前まで?が最高!でしたね

many people might call Inoki a coward but he survived and hurt Ali. He was at a total disadvantage here as he couldn't use his Submission techniques.

RIP Muhammad Ali And Now Antonio Inoki!!!

This was so beneath both of them that it never should've happened.

Hard to believe it was a draw when Inoke threw like 107 kicks and Ali one punch 😂

Name a more iconic duo than MMA and boxers forced to wear boxing gloves, RIP Mr. Inoki

Martial Arts it's not about being Beautiful but About Survive, Inoki Survive Against Ali and destroyed his legs this it's a Win for me his strategy worked against a Pro Boxer.

Alì has played all the time in this game, in his Life he has been always a gentlemen ❤

I’ve learned something new today. Thank You Dave Knows…..

Match strani e dove trovarli

One of the goofiest fights I've ever seen. Anyway, RIP Antonio :(

Two legends in one ring Like you both Rest in peace 🤲 انّا للّه و انّا اليه راجعون

Inoki was smart. Knew couldn't beat Ali with hands. In turn Ali didn't know what to do just keep circling. Both smart turned to a stale mate. RIP Champs .

So nobody’s gonna talk about that kick after the bell rang? My boy Antonio came in hot ☄️😂

アリは猪木を女と罵ったが、猪木のスパーリングを見てビビったのはアリだった。タックル、関節技禁止、しかもコレを公表するなとアリ陣営が、言ってきたがあえて猪木は戦った。圧倒的不利なルールをアリ陣営が叩きつけといて、猪木を、女とは笑わせる。

Being super boring actually proves this was real. If it was staged, the fight would have been super fun for even non experts.

After looking at about 45 seconds of this, I this I will go stare at a blank wall for a while for excitement

I remember this. Is the most non combat match I've seen. 🤔 🙏 RIP

In the olden days, fighting on the ground was considered cowardice because stand-up fighting was honorable and fair. Nowadays, those who are defeated by fists used the ground.

My Mom: Get up and get ready for school Me:

Ali did what he had to do to get that check

Ali "I'm so bad I knock the man down just by thinking about punching, Man this man saw the future and it knocked him on his back, I tell you the man knew he was going down and just fell down in the presence of greatness". Lol

In the first place, Muhammad Ali regarded the fight as an exhibition and did not consider it a serious fight. Inoki, on the other hand, was challenging Muhammad Ali with the intention of killing him. Therefore, because of their differences, Muhammad Ali's side unilaterally changed the rules and included a rule prohibiting standing kicks, which led to a fight in which the fighters kicked each other while lying down. The fact that both fighters remained friends and praised each other after the fight showed that they could communicate with each other despite differences in national borders, languages, and values. Muhammad Ali's entrance song, "Bombaye," became Inoki's signature entrance song as a professional wrestler. ワイは日本人やで。盲目な外国人は未練がましく偽りの栄光に酔いしれていてくれ。

Inoki is one of Sakuraba idols, the Gracie hunter who destroyed The BJJ in Pride.

Inoki è stato un vero campione e per sempre lo sarà. Lui è storia! 🙏

This is real, there were stipulations that grappling (takedowns) was not allowed but kicking was allowed. Antonio was a real submission wrestler trained by Karl Gotch, very advanced fighter for that time. Ali would have no chance in a MMA fight against him. Ali was probably the best boxer ever, among the best at least, but he would lose in a MMA fight against Inoki. Strikers were not aware of takedowns back then.

Watching this brings a smile to my face it was pure entertainment

Where can i find the full fight one

There's a drunken Master There's also a Slide Master 🤣😍

Ali going against another fighting style as a boxer is lowkey some brave stuff, this is just suprisingly good

Spettacolo,vedere un pugile contro un lottatore era una cosa insolita ma entusiasmante,certamente Hinoki combattendo da terra e con le sottomissione poteva batterlo Hali,anche perché diversamente Hali se partiva con i suoi ganci era veloce risultando un avversario temibile,comunque Hinoki è stato un grande lottatore,una vera leggenda come il grande hali,onore al merito per due atleti che hanno reso immortali due grandi discipline sportive!!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗👏👏👏👏👍

Sangkin hebat nya Muhamad Ali karna tidak ada lagi yg menantang satu2 ketemu lawan nya pegulat dari Jepang💪💪👍👍👍

Boxing vs MMA Style match is a legendary one ngl😌

Inoki era come Maradona per gli Argentini, eroe nazionale 😂😂

Pa dormirse la lucha pero son dos grandes leyendas merecen respeto

Both were legends

Fun fact: Ali said his legs were destroyed in that fight he could barely walk after that fight.

In memory of Antonio Inoki

Rest in peace to both legends. I wish this could have been Bruce Lee in the ring with Ali, but he passed in 73

Crazy and funny moment.😅😅😅..I watched in TV in Indonesia at that time when I was in middle school...

アリボンバィエを猪木に贈った話し、鳥肌が立ちました 友情が芽生えたんですね

Dicono che l'incontro, tenutosi presso il Nippon Budokan arena di Tokyo il 26 giugno 1976, non sia stato del tutto combinato. Ci fu una ragione del perché Inoki utilizzasse questa strana tecnica spalle a terra. Innanzitutto perché sapeva benissimo di non poter sostenere eventuali colpi diretti del grande pugile e quindi impostò tutto sulle gambe... colpire il retro del polpaccio, infatti, era una sua specialità... Ma soprattutto furono imposte regole ferree per l'incontro ed Inoki non avrebbe potuto applicare mosse tipiche del wrestling di allora. Le regole snaturarono l'incontro boxe contro wrestling. Alì avrebbe potuto afferrare o colpire l'avversario secondo le regole della boxe; mentre ad Inoki erano probiti calci volanti o prese bloccanti, vale a dire il fare wrestling. Alla fine ne risultò un incontro assolutamente monotono, dove l'esito di parità era quasi d'obbligo. Il match è passato alla storia solo per i nomi dei contendenti, indubbi protagonisti nelle loro rispettive specialità. Si racconta che alla fine il pubblicò lanciò spazzatura contro il ring urlando "Money back! Money back", tale fu la delusione per quell'incontro. Ad ogni modo, Alì ed Inoki divennero buoni amici dopo quell'incontro. In questo video Inoki rende omaggio alla memoria di Muhammad Alì... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r7egp7Z8rNHZhps.html

Exhibition fight. Ali was no grappler. Inoki was no boxer. But Gene LeBell is epic!

I remember how Sports Illustrated covered this. There was big lightweight fight somewhere the same week (don’t remember where) as this and they billed it as “There was a fight in ____and a Farce in Tokyo”

Here are the rulesets for this match incase you are wondering: 1. No Tackles or Throws: Inoki was not allowed to execute traditional wrestling moves such as tackles, throws, or any maneuver that involved taking Ali to the ground directly. 2. No Kicking Above the Waist: Inoki could only kick if one of his knees was on the mat, effectively preventing him from delivering high kicks that could potentially injure Ali. 3. No Use of Closed Fists: Both fighters were prohibited from using closed-fist punches to the head. This rule was particularly significant for Ali, whose primary weapon in boxing was his punch. 4. Limited Use of the Ring: Inoki had to spend most of the fight on the mat to comply with the rules and to avoid Ali's striking range. This led to a strategy where Inoki spent a large portion of the match on his back, kicking at Ali's legs.

If Inoki stands up he goes down, permanent like 😂

凄い試合

Saya tau pertarungan ini dari almarhum bapak saya dulu pas kecil di ceritakan, dan sekarang saya Nemu videonya di KZfaq 😊🙏

R.i.p. Antonio inoki one of the greats.

QEPD Antonio inoki and Muhammad Ali

People say that after this fight Ali's legs were never the same again.

What a rare footage!

Ali broke his two legs here and he never moved the same

That puxxy would constantly fall to the floor to keep distance from Ali’s hands.

Ali saying ( bro you need help getting up )? ( Let me help you, grab my glove & I will get you on your feet )😂

2 grandissimi ma sinceramente meglio che le mma hanno preso una direzione diversa

Saw this on Closed Circuit TV at the Spectrum in Philly.

Duas lendas,mas Inoki parece ter lutado usando a técnica do Tarzan. Descansem em paz Ali e Inoki

They should have made Inoki wear gloves on his feet.

Well now I know from where Igari's character is taken 👌👌👌

Im so glad that mma fighters now ouuta here

Ali..."yo gano si el rival está en el suelo a la cuenta de 10?" - Campeón, hay algo que debemos decirte...

Muhammad Ali, Antonio Anoki and Gene LeBell all in one ring. The youngsters simply don't know how epic this is.

Did anything actually happen apart from some slide tackles?

Both great wrestlers and great personalities

Damn Ali was about to get cooked in round 6. Good thing the ref saved him.

So this is what baki is talking about when hanma vs ali junior

In memoru Antonio inoki

Ali didn't train to be on his back, unlike all wrestlers

En paz Descance Antonio Inoki. Una pelea muy pareja en cuestión de cada disciplina, pues si Ali le acomodaba un golpe, lo dejaría mal y si a Inoki lo llegaba a atrapar en alguna llave, también lo dejaría mal a Ali

This is the English comment you've been scrolling for !

You know what's actually really ironic about this fight? That the two toughest men involved with it were the referee and the cornerman.

Now this is what I call Kick-Boxing.

Picture Anoki trying to fight like that in the streets 🤣 he be hurting his own self dropping himself to the concrete 😭

Only inoki could’ve pulled this off. Rest easy my man.

So glad Baki paid homage to two of the GOATs through Alai and Igari.

Caro Ulisse, uno speciale su Inoki? Aspetto il video 🖤

R.I.P. MOHAMED ALÌ AND ANTONIO INOKI

It makes sense why he did this. Before they agreed to the fight. Muhammad Ali's people demanded that the wrestler was not allowed to do any wrestling. No wrestling holds, pins, or grappling of any sort. They were trying to force a wrestler to box Muhammad Ali.😅😅 😅

Wild Project

Man, this was a patient crowd. Now they would be booing 30 seconds into the first round. Respect to both parties and RIP, but man this was so boring
