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.

[@jeffmoore9487]

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.

[@lennypersonalized]

I almost feel sorry for Jurgen here. Every time he tried to put together any sort of attack, he was caught time and time again by the piston like left jab of Ali's. Blin really gave it his best shot.

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.

[@mskidi]

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.

This one of Ali's best. Blin was no match for Ali's speed and his ability to duck opponents punches as he made Blin look silly. Blin swung at the air too many times to count. Blin was frustrated and angrily lunged at Ali several times off balance and into the ropes. When Blin swung wildly charging into Ali, he just covered up and those round house swings just landed on Ali's arms or Ali just danced away. Finally, Blin just walked into a right hand after taking a bloody beating from Ali's left the entire fight. You could see Blin had no defense, no answer and complete confusion as Ali hit him continuously with the left and ended it with the right to the jaw that spun Blin's head and knocked him out. Ali is still an inspiration to watch for all time!

Boxing then is so different to boxing now.

[@mortcola]

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?

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.

[@Wally-H]

Typical Ali performance, letting the other guy do all the work and tire himself out. By round 7 Blin was looking exhausted and punching wildly. Ali knew he had him and picked him off. This is the master at work.

[@Gregster1234]

Just the size difference is telling. Ali was great for sure. Ali’s jabs were not pitty-pats they were Jack-hammers so say his opponents.

I think Blin was doing very well. First round was Blin for sure. I think Ali knew he was getting behind in the second and lifted as best he could. 3rd, well ..... Blin got nailed! Ali went Supernova! 🇭🇲🤗

[@Wally-H]

The issue fighters like Blin had was catching up with Ali and making punches stick. Blin does catch him a few times in the early rounds but most of his work is wasted energy, punching wildly and shoving Ali onto the ropes where he never minded being. By round 7 he looks knackered and desperate, then Ali picked him off.

[@LardGreystoke]

Blin's style troubled Ali for 3 rounds. In the 4th he got on his toes and moved, making Blin look wild and clumsy. From then on it was a matter of time.

[@YyouTTubeE]

Ali in his later career is more slow starter. First 4 round is usually just "warm up" for slow starter fighter, so, no big deal really

[@shalomccs]

Ali the most famous boxer in the world . No internet, tweeter and Facebook in the 60s and the 70s . According to the international press the name Muhammad Ali was known in the most remote areas of the world.

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.

[@northwestprof60]

He looks like a palooka they grabbed from a local bar

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

Its always a pleasure to watch an Ali fight, but just as pleasant is no commentary. Its bliss not having to listen to pundits constantly rabbit over the action and your get to hear the crowd instead
