Muhammad Ali vs Jurgen Blin 1971-12-26

That knockout was a thing of beauty. Blin's out on his feet and doesn't even know it. He tries to take a step back, and his legs give out. He had taken several hard shots in the 30-45 seconds prior to that, and was already a little wobbly. That last shot just connected perfectly, and Blin was done.

Wow I agree a great fight over all. Blin was an aggressive opponent. He was freakishly strong and attacked like a Viking! He tagged Ali many times but I have to give it to Ali for his courage he never backed away from those onslaughts and showed courage. It must have been the confidence Ali possessed in his own abilities. Ultimately he just outboxed his opponent Jared Blin.

I think you summarized it well. Blin had to lunge in to hit, so he lunged and lunged to get his hits in, but Ali is hard to hit, so Blin isn't getting much result from huge effort. Ali just had to be patient, block Blin's attacks as best he can, and box.

Most casual fans don't realize the range of small movements Ali used to keep opponents off-balance, second guessing whether to punch, where to punch; his shots came with so little set-up, on the beat, off the beat, that otherwise excellent fighters all said he was nearly impossible to figure out - and most of this was after the unjust three year separation from the sport which cost him his reflexes. People will often say he had no punching power, or that it looks like he's slapping. But Ali frequently did something which gave his punches the ability to separate opponents form their senses and/or motor control - the sudden twist at the end of a seemingly innocuous cross or hook. Watch one of the highlight reels of his KO's. Otherwise durable fighters tended to freeze in place, collapse where they stood, as if electrocuted. It is a different kind of force than we're used to from a big, powerful fighter. Imagine a small stone, traveling twice as fast as a large one, but spinning when it hits its target. Compare that to being clubbed with a big rock, or an actual club. Neither is pleasant. But if you've been in the ring, hit by a muscled powerful but slower dude, and also by a speed demon with great accuracy and the ability to land when you don't have time to react, you'll know just how different the effect is. The men he made look incompetent were among the best heavyweights in history. Every meaningful heavyweight of his generation were in the ring with him, and he beat all, except Holmes....and Holmes fought Ali when Ali was symptomatic with Parkinsons and heavily medicated. Only a few spotted his few weaknesses; Ali made sure to rematch his TOUGHEST opponents, and beat ALL of them in rematches. Want an education in Ali, and the intricacies of the sport?

It was too physically taxing to box with Ali. He was bigger and had a longer reach than most of the heavyweights and his agility permitted him to throw the jab from every angle, which gave him a reach advantage even against men his size. And then he had the stamina. The big guys couldnt chase him around for long and the smaller guys, that could chase him, had to eat several jabs to the face to maybe land a single punch on him and be in a constant head movement motion that ate up precious energy. Meanwhile, he was just throwing the flicking jab moving backwards, winning rounds, conserving energy. If he saw his man in trouble he'd move in for the kill, if the man fought back, Ali would again move to safety zone. If someone caught him with a good punch, Ali would hug him and push him back. Other than Frazier, Marciano and very early Tyson I cant imagine of any other fighters in the history of heavyweight division that had the combination of characteristics to take Ali into deep and uncertain waters. You needed superhuman stamina, ability to take punishment, and very high workrate to alternate crippling his midsection with bombs in the head. Then of course you could have the odd ones like Norton, against whom I doubt Ali ever won a round convincingly. Norton had superb stamina, very long hands and developped a specific defense to mess up with Ali's jab, which in turn messed up his whole rythm.

I dont think Ali took it easy on him. Ali was a patient fighter and always took his time. He was gathering data on this man in the early rounds.

[@ianrutherford878]

@@GuyFromTheSouth True and I Imagine pro boxers also understand that it is i a lot of peoples' interests to have fights of several rounds.( which is a bit like saying he or both took it easy or paced themselves for a few rounds except there is nothing easy about earning a living this way)

Keep an eye on Blin trying really hard to catch Ali with elbows. Especially in the corners.

As a 16 year old watching this bout I didn’t appreciate what a good and brave competitor Juergen Blin was. He was well conditioned gave his all, that’s as much as a man can do, hats off to Jurgen albeit 50 years late.

Never seen this fight or heard of Blin before. Blin could duck and weave, but he swings wide and lunges, loosing his balance.The punches that did connect did not seem to have sting and power like Ali's do. Also, Blin looks like a smaller fighter. Like he is fighting above his weight class.

I like how Ali helped keep Blin from falling out of the ring at 20:08. What a nice dude he was.

[@liberty5069]

He was also smart enough to keep one glove on the back of Blin's head to prevent him from turning around quickly and catching Ali with a punch.

Kudos for trying. Also knows that with a height and reach disadvantage you have to get inside to have any effect or any chance. I'm amazed at how many shorter guys try to fight on the outside these days. Crazy.

[@MrEwciii2001]

This quick straight right hand is what he used against Liston(2) and Foreman as well as others. It doesn’t seem that awesome a punch, but when delivered perfectly it was devastating.

[@LardGreystoke]

He caught Blin with about 4 other shots leading up to it.

[@lynntempleton9640]

There was no quick right hand with Liston in Maine. Sonny rolled and winked. Whatever that secret was, he took it to the grave.

[@gordondueck2164]

And he knocked out Zora Folley with that short right.

Right at the end of the stroke. No need to "punch through" in that case. Lots of pop to those.

Blin started out and was quite the aggressor in the first three rounds. Then I noticed Ali found the measure and shortened the distance between the two for the remainder. But like all those at the time who managed to nail Ali, over the course of the fight, they were made to pay for it.

Jurgen Blin came to fight. Aggressive and determined, launching himself into his punches, sadly he seemed just a little too slight against Ali and had the determination knocked out of him by the master, those two last punches rocked me in my chair in 2022

delivered with bad intent no doubt. I think Ali pulled a few punches early in the fight when he ended up behind Jürgen. Jurgen should have thanked Ali for not beating him with foot work alone.
