Ali vs. Young
Posted: 13 Aug 2008, 12:29
A friend of mine and I were debating this the other day. He seems to think Jimmy lost this fight because he stuck his head between the ropes and that this was all due to a massive amount of punishment. I couldn't stop from laughing. He had even pasted in a link to an anonymous writer in an attempt to his claim more believable. I won't say his name but it ends with a number (2008)
who honestly scored this fight for Ali? The name of the game is scoring points and Jimmy clearly outpointed a lost and confused Ali who couldnt get anything going. Muhammud never landed more than a glancing blow so it cannot be said he ever hurt Jimmy. Cosell was very nervous up till the final bell rang which gives it away the fact he was upset and believed Ali had lost.
