The Ali/ Coopman fight,saw that on national television live.
That was 2 hours of my life never get back.
Reportly Coopman was tipsey from drinking champaigne with his wife in his dressing room before they even laced on his gloves to go out to the ring to face Ali.
Guess he wanted to celebrate early.

He certainly fought like he was drunk.

That's the fight where he kissed Ali on the cheek before the pre fight press conference. Those were great days as a kid to watch it unfurl.
