I watch these as I go to sleep and time travel to the past

IT SHOULD BE INSTANT DISQUALIFICATION - IVE NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE - EVEN ALI WAS PUNCHING HIM OUTSIDE THE ROPES!!!!!

I DONT UNDERSTAND - HE WAS BEATING ALI STRAIGHT BOXING EVERY TIME HE DID THAT?!?!?!?!

@@southsideman4891 Ya that was a bullshit tactic. Young should have been disqualified the 2nd time he did it and the Ali should have won by default. If Young was the great fighter he put on to be, he wouldn't have had to resort to such shameful tactics. Then after the fight he had the unmitigated gaul to say he thought he won. What a dirtbag. He could have earned respect as a boxer but not from me after this.

It’s amazing how our memories skew things. My memory told me Young was out of the ring more than he was in it. As it turns out he only did it in 3 rounds, total of 4 times. I feel like Ali won this fight because Young spent too many rounds completely inactive. But Ali looked horrible in this fight.

It was the DUMBEST "strategy" EVER, and it cost him the Heavyweight Championship of the World.

Secondo me, Ali' l' avrebbero dovuto far smettere prima dell' incontro n.1 contro Spinks. Ormai non doveva dimostrare niente a nessuno: gia' contro Shavers i suoi pugni erano ormai deboli. Non riusciva a mantenere un peso decente a causa dell' adiroide e soprattutto contro Holmes aveva gia' i segni del Parkinson. Senza nulla togliere a Holmes che e' stato un grande pugile pero' quella sera contro di lui non aveva Ali, non aveva nemmeno un atleta ma aveva una persona malata e una persona malata non si manda mai e poi mai su un Ring. E' chiaro che hanno voluto sfruttare Ali' fino all' osso in quanto era ormai il personaggio sportivo piu' conosciuto che faceva fare soldi ed incassi: hanno pensato ai soldi e non hanno fermato un uomo malato di Parkinson che non appena salito sul Ring contro Holmes non si reggeva in piedi non riusciva ad alzare le braccia, era privo di riflessi (che Ali' ha sempre avuto superiori a qualsiasi pugile), non aveva forza nei pugni e aveva uno sguardo perso quindi sembrava anche poco lucido a causa dei primi segni della malattia. Ali', avrebbe chiuso la carriera con 0 Ko, e con sole 2 sconfitte ai punti contro Frazier e Norton che poi sconfisse successivamente. Un record molto vicino a quello di Rocky Marciano: mentre il primo-Ali' era imprendibile con 0 sconfitte, velocita', riflessi, gioco di gambe al suo massimo e riflessi unici. Hanno rovinato il suo curriculum facendolo combattere da malato di Parkinson e ormai fuori forma contro Spinks (anche se Ali' vinse nella rivincita). Ma li' avrebbero dovuto fermarlo invece, No. GRANDE ALI' CON IL SUO STILE UNICO (tra l' altro il primo-Ali' era anche potente pur non avendo un solo pugno da Ko, aveva combinazioni velocissime e potenti da Ko!). Il secondo Ali' (dopo il carcere), non era piu' lo stesso eppure ha fatto la Storia.

In his later seventies fights he struggled to be in peak condition, especially when he was up against those he considered lesser fighters .

Kenny was an incredible man.

pure robbery by a corrupt jury

Ali had parkinsons, he would have still died, its nothing to do with him keep boxing....

Patrick Doyle But his Parkinsons wouldn't have been as bad as it was.

@@patrickdoyle7874 Alis Parkinsons WAS caused by boxing, as was the case with Terry Norris and Freddie Roach as well.

@@thomasp3865 not really all of them would have likely developed Parkinsons whether they fought or not, you have to genetically predisposed to Parkinsons, the fighting just excacerbated the condition and jumpstarted cognitive deterioration

In my opinion the damage had already been done by then.

No he wasnt. Go learn boxing bitch

Well not like it was a split decision or even close on the cards

​@@Price70Judges were often kind to Ali

@@nathaniellathy6559 No, he just knew how to work them with late rd flashes

Aaaaaaaaaa!

😊

he was only 32 in the foreman fight his problem wasnt him fighting for too long it was him fighting too often he fought 4 times in a year and in back to back months

When he loses he was to old and fat when he wins its all good! I love Ali but thats bullshit, excuse i thought Young won,this was the first pro boxing match i ever seen I was 7 and i thought Young won then and still feel the same now!

Should have retired in 1978 after de second Spinks fight,when he was champ for rhe third time.

@@djsugebryant281 all young did was run

@@djsugebryant281 I too saw it at the time it took place, Young won by a country mile IMO.

If he was in good shape he would have beat him badley. Ali did win 9-6. Maybe 8-7.

Joyraj Ghosh yep

Young won

Yeah clearly was not Ali's best fight. This was alot of dancing and running by both parties. Some of the fans booed earlier.

lawreneph he was begging for the rope a dope: i love Ali (GOD REST HIS SOUL IN JESUS' NAME!) but there should be (should have been) a rule where if a boxer land consecutive punches unreturned: the one throwing punches win! Its not fair to just get people tired to exploit them.

@eric Dubwaaa REALLY?!?!?

@eric Dubwaaa SIIIGH! I NEVER HEARD ABOUT THAT, NOW I GOTTA INVESTIGATE

How many times did he do it?

And you know this how, what are your credentials to referee a fight? Anyway the ref did exactly as you say in round 12 giving Ali that round, so relax.

Marla Wilcox 5 times.

​@@negativoclash5606🎉lp😅

I´m agree with you but there weren´t penalizations in that fight so Young should have won by decision... in my opinion.

Yes, he should have had 2-3 points deducted if not a DQ

And Ali should have been penalized against Foreman for his rope a dope tactics which was basically “refusing to engage”.

randy johnson it’s called clinching

randy johnson Don’t reach like that Ali never ducked behind the ropes or hit Foreman in the testicles at all.

He went downhill pretty fast after the Thrilla in Manila, 7 months before this.

That is correct he was starting to show some serious signs of Parkinson’s :(

allah cant even stop genocide

Tommy Hearns tried it in his first bout with Ray Leonard when being beaten badly. Didn't help him either.

@@tlig ผื

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

My boss funny as he'll told me to check it

Ñpbbbbnmdesssdr de

John Faught You’re giving him too much credit by saying he was trying to win.... He was in perpetual survivors mode and if a boxer has high level cagey skills he’s gunna be difficult to KO if he’s trying to survive.

Young a very cagey defensive fighter. He knows his own limitations and doesn’t try to do what he can’t do. He’s a smart fighter. He wants to wear Ali out. Young is in great shape. He knows Ali is old and out of shape. Young wants to take Ali 15 rounds and maybe win the decision. Ali was arrogant and took Young fir granted and he nearly paid the price. He did the sand thing with Leon Spinks a couple years later.

What about Ali's tactics? Holding the back of Young's head, not always breaking cleanly. Ali should have been warned about that also. He didn't fight a clean fight either.

Jummy young out landed ali nigga

@@georgfriedrichhandel4390 If another fighter is closed to your chest, should u lower your cover? (And yes, Ali is warned of that in some matches, but both Ali and Yong tectic can't be said to be dirty. )

Young was a very talented counter puncher but had little draw. Shavers KO'd Jimmy Young in their first bout, and against Ali, Young lost in the eyes of the judges that first time he cowered between the ropes. Young never had what it took to be a champion.

@Irving Smith Sorry, meant to say he arguably beat Shavers (in their rematch)

@Irving Smith True, and that prolonged his career and led to brain damage. Even the decisions he lost (to Norton and Spinks) were split. How those judges were able to score those fights in his favour is anyone's guess. I believe Harold Lederman was the culprit in the Spinks fight.

@Irving Smith It was Ali. He lost to Spinks and Norton and in those fights, it was ruled a split decision despite him clearly losing.

😂🤣🤣😂🤣

Pas d ecran partage snil vous plait

allah is a fairy tale

halal slaughter must be stopped!

Total BS! Young outlanded Ali by more than two to one. Young landed at 41% to Ali's 18%. This fight was a Blatant Robbery. They did Jimmy very dirty in this fight.

@@karlyoung5089 if you duct out the ring when cornered you lost that round.

@@arturenobel8310 Young outlanded Ali two to one. Clear robbery!

jimmy beet his eyes shut he won becouse he was ali

Did ducking under the ropes also cost Norton and Shavers their fights with Ali as well?

tlig shavers really?

Funny, but Ali's rope a dope against Foreman didn't hurt him

Ali won the fight by wide margins on 2 of the 3 scorecards, so that's not what cost Young the fight

MOHAMED ALI RESTE ET RESTERA LE PLUS GRAND BOXEUR DE TOUT LES TEMPS UN HOMME EXEMPLAIRE ALI ET UN SEIGNEUR ET UN PROHPHETE ALI ET PROPRE QUE DIEU LACCOEUILE DANS SON VASTE PARADIS VIVE ALI

saintcruzin, you made a great point. After The Thrilla In Manila, Ali should of called it a career.

You’re right but the second fight with Spinks made him even greater, at that age he made one of the most finest performances of his career in the 70’s, becoming the first 3 times heavyweight champion of the world and fighter of the year 1978

Hello, a lot of old elderly pioneers, you can not stop them at what they love to do. It is the heir life. They continue to do what they love right until they die, or end up in seniors home.

Yep

Naw. This was a blatant robbery!

@@karlyoung5089 Bigger than the Brinks Job. I bet thoe judges heard from Brinks...

Jimmy is a coward. He spent 9 rounds escaping....This is a beginner....How does he want to become a boxing champion when he has not faced Ali?

easytofool

Ali won several dubious decisions for that same reason

wrong Ali won clearly

Young didn't deserved to win this fight. Ali did what he had to do. He was so out of shape and past his prime here

If it’s too close to call it should go to the champion. A challenger should win decisively.

young won easy

@Teucer Russell ali is only a big mouth shit talker nothing else

@@haroonkapoor8233 Shut up!

young landed more punches. in fact Ali barely landed at all. Young exposed Ali`s inability to fight going forward and despite being a big Ali fan I have to say that Young was robbed in this fight. Ali wasn`t fit or sharp enough in this fight.

agree ...just cus its ali, ppl like he won he won....oh just stop it

you have to win more rounds than the champ, which young did.

really

Thats not how it goes . Nope you got to take the championship . Ali took it from Liston and Foreman . Young fought like a coward no judge is going to give the Heavy Weight Championhip to chicken that ducks under the ropes when another fighter attacks and throws punches him . Kenny Knorton was like WTH is that ? Imagine the judges .

@David McFrost when you’re fighting for a title, you have to beat the champ more then just by a little bit, you have to make him look foolish. Ali took his punches like they were nothing and struck back and maintained himself in the ring. It was not a clear over power, there for he should remain the champ.

@David McFrost doesn’t change the fact that he simply has speed and great timing before he denied entry of the U.S.A armed forces. I don’t agree with that, putting aside his personal choices there is no doubt about it that Ali had very fast hands and accurate striking in his prime. If you were handed the opportunity for millions of dollars and we’re faced with the same persona to remain the face of boxing for money, you would be foolish to think anyone would turn that down. Money alters a lot of things and unfortunately sports is one of them, but he is still one of the greatest fighters of all time, not my idol.

@David McFrost comeoltely different boxing eras, different training, different time, different tactics. Not relevant what so ever.

@David McFrost He was the best of his era.

@David McFrost thus meaning that he was one of the greatest of all times.

wrong Muhammad Ali has the best defensive in HW

Young was running out of the ring coward not clever

Okey,..but young finally often running out of the ring,..like c...

And clinch,..again, and again...thats not clever !?

Good points Adam, however a younger Ali say Ernie Terrell Ali would have zero issue with Young. Terrell was also a terrific defensive fighter with his guard held way up. But the amount of punches Ali through against Terrell would destroy Young. What's my name? Classic.

Jimmy is a coward. He spent 9 rounds escaping....This is a beginner....How does he want to become a boxing champion when he has not faced Ali?

Boring

As time went on, he had tendency to underestimate his opponents and not train as hard, taking a gamble that he could get by.

I had it a draw too, 70-70. But I did not deduct any points away from Young for sticking his head out of the ring. Maybe I should've. For some reason it didn't bother me as much as it has bothered others. Perhaps I was biased, pulling for the underdog. I had five rounds even at 5 - 5 (rounds 3, 5, 10, 12, 15).

Young landed 222 Ali landed 113. One thing I have learned watching Ali fights, you better knock Ali out because the Judges are going to rob you.

Maybe so bit what is Young (any boxer) to do when half the fight Ali rope a doping and keeping his face covered only allowing body shots???

@@southsideman4891 U cant do anything. And to stay like that rope a dope shit is not as easy as you think. Try yourself. U can have broken ribs very easily.

@@yuu9258 respect

@@davebryant8050 he worked hard for what he got indeed. RIP...

No ali won

Ali was "winning" these fights because of who he was...not for what he was doing in the ring!!!

This fight was terrible. Ali was fat and Young didn't fight hard enough. That being said, Young deserved the decision. I scored it 9-5-1 Young. But in 1976, you didn't take the title away from Muhammad Ali and give it to Jimmy Young. It took Leon Spinks to win 13 of 15 rounds to take it (in a split decision!)

Jim Cushman shut up

@@swalk813 I scored it 6-5-4 for Young. It was that bad of a fight.

If the judges scored these fights honestly, Ali would have been forced to retire much sooner instead of taking so much needless damage late in his career!

Good comment

Boxing was Ali’s life. I know and have heard of 80 year old farmers dying in the tractor, to be found eventually be found inside the cabin of the tractor in a creek or plowed deep into the trees.

@TheShepardTheWolfAndTheSheeple Oh I understand that. HARD to give up one's passion which for many becomes their very self identity.

@@leojanuszewski1019. Affirmative. Think maybe there might be able to make a lot of money for some of Ali’s late fights also. Not sure.

Nah, then we wouldn't have had the Shavers fight. A good one for Ali, and a very strong finish in the 15th round.

Judges say Ali won.. and Young problem is he can't even hurt Ali so how he can take his title? Young look stupid

both weren't the same boxer they used to be before facing Jimmy. Ali was out of his prime and didn't train for the fight. and foreman was under depression..

Excuses

At least spell his name correctly PLEASE

Greatest

Leonard.! That's. Sugar Ray Leonard while you're playin. He Showed the public. All boxing Champion s do not have 2 be Stupid . Sugar still did it his way. Muhammad or not. Bad, man

That sums it up pretty well.

Lol Jimmy Young fought like a coward . Ducking between the ropes like the WWEs Iron Sheik while someones taking the fight trying to punch you . No judge will give a chump a win over the champion . You got to take the Championship from the champ . And Bobbu Roberts you dont know boxing all three of you dont . Muhammad Ali was past his prime when he fought them . His 3 1/2 year exile from boxing changed him he lost alot of his reflexes . Some one that knows boxing Cus D Amato was the 1st one to notice it Alis trainer didnt even see it said Ali was clowning . Cus een Ali sparring for his comeback fight with Jerry Quarry . He said Muhammad Ali still had the speed and power . But he is getting hit way to much and that worried him .He also said lost his reflexes and foot work to avoid a punch . Heavyweight fighters can get to him now . Look at Cus DeAmato Muhammad Ali 1970 . He told Ali to his face he is not the same fighter because of the 3 1/2 years he lost and Joe Frazier would beat him . Muhammad Ali from the 1970s isnt the same fighter as the 1960s he had to changed his style and still became champ fighter the Best fighters from the 1970s . Learn boxing !

@@RRR-is3rf I agree......the challenger's job it to TAKE the champs belt.....I boxed and that's exactly what my trainer used to tell me. Damn, do you miss Ali as much as I do?

@@RRR-is3rf I watched Jimmy Young box on several occasions and his style of fighting was to get his back on the ropes and slip punches.....he was good at it but not a match for Ali. Check out a few of Young's fights. Get back to me if you want to discuss as I enjoy your viewpoint.

Kind?? Please watch Ali Patterson Ali Terrell Ali Quarry 2. This is not a kind sport and he wasn't kind.

YES, YOUNG WAS ROBBED IN THIS FIGHT AND ALI ONLY WON BECAUSE HE WAS ALI?

Young missed his head out of the ropes many times .thats why he losed .didnt deserved to win

Young don't do anything!

30:05 33:30 47:47 49:06 49:20 and 56:06 - in the 15th round. Young did that crap at least six times, and he wonders why he didn't get the decision? STUPIDEST "strategy" EVER!! You can't take the Champ's Title by cowering.

Howard 'now Young sticking his head outside the ropes Kenny what kind of tactic is this?Howard that's so it won't get knocked off!!Every time Young did that should've been scored a KD

Ali won the fight even he was out of shape.Young was not doing the offensive to win the fight.

This is no lesson by any means.

I REMEMBER THIS FIGHT AND YOUNG WAS ROBBED BY THIS DECISION?

Young was a bum

do you really something about boxing or you've heard about this sport because of Ali's celibrity ? A boxing lesson ???? Ali is a fanstastic boxer, but in this fight he has done anything but a lesson...
