This is basically Rocky 1. It's obvious that Ali had 2000% more natural skill than this guy, even though Ali trained minimally for this fight. The outcome was never in doubt. It was a miracle that Wepner hung on as long as he did, surviving on grit alone. Kudos!

[@gaiita]

Well rocky 1 was based on this.. 😭

[@Bruins-vq5ey]

Rocky made the distance....chuck didn't

[@kenshirohxh]

Quel fumier ce Wepner de frapper derrière la tête et même avec le pied.. Rocky n'aurait jamais fait ça !! Quel honte

That's what that movie was based then the movie series went into its own direction.

[@rollyagustin7751]

My favorite heavyweight champion forever. He is gracious in the ring & knows when the opponent is ready to go.

[@matt8863]

3:36 So the story goes..."In the ninth round Wepner scored a knockdown, which Ali said occurred because Wepner was stepping on his foot. Wepner went to his corner and said to his manager Al Braverman, "Al, start the car. We're going to the bank. We are millionaires." To this, Wepner's manager replied: "You better turn around. He's getting up and he looks pissed off".

[@syourke3]

That’s bullshit. Ali was not down for more than a second, no way Wepner could’ve returned to his corner and had that conversation with his manager.

[@andrewaka362]

@@syourke3 There is a documentary on this boxing match narrated by Wepner himself and he did say that in the doc word for word.....Check it out.

[@Kermit_T_Frog]

Total hype by the announcer. The "knockout" punch was more a slap on the back. And it was pretty obvious that Ali simply lost his balance. Probably because Wepner either stepped on his foot or tripped him.

[@syourke3]

@@Kermit_T_Frog Correct. And there’s no way that Wepner could have thought even for a split second that he had actually KO’d Ali who was back in his feet in a couple of seconds. Wepner was just lucky to get a nice pay day but he had no chance against Ali. Not even in his dreams.

[@Kermit_T_Frog]

@@syourke3 This was Ali badly out of shape and far from his prime, but even then, Wepner was totally outclassed.

I guess they really, really wanted to be able to say Wepner went the distance against Ali. He was only 19 seconds away. But, tough guy though he was, he could not defend himself at all. He could barely stand up.

Yup!

[@JeezWhiz1]

Those rabbit punches had put Ali in a bad mood.

[@ebperformance8436]

Ali fell in the 9th because Chuck stood on Ali’s foot causing him to trip, and fall…the punch wasn’t the reason Ali fell! In the instant replay…they leave out both they’re feet…if you look at the real 9th round replay, it clearly shows Chuck standing on Ali’s feet…9th round was a trip and fall.

[@GregAkers]

Wepner said that before the fight, him and Ali had a private conversation, and Ali said that to promote the fight, Wepner should publicly call Ali the n-word ! Wepner said that he wasn't a racist, and that he liked Ali, and wasn't going to do it ! Of course, Ali being Ali, went public and said that Wepner called him the n-word...ha !

[@KARAOTI23]

Many believe that Foreman's beating in their legendary bout, just prior to this matchup, was the main cause for Ali's future health issues. But yeah, those behind the head blows from Wepner were serious and definitely caused some damage.

Wonder why Muhammad never ever succumbed to the killer instinct in the ring in his professional boxing career. Was always careful to curtail the damage in his blows as they landed to make contact against his opponents as can be seen, whilst they gave all and went for it full tang. It made him different l must say.

[@etcetc3800]

It made him the Greatest. The Champion. Beyond boxing.

[@hyrumbliss5811]

I always wondered why Ali didn't go to the body more, it would've been easy with his opponents always worried about his lightning fast one/two combinations...probably would've shortened a lot of his fights too.

[@etcetc3800]

@@hyrumbliss5811 he had honor. Never took the easy way out. The Greatest of all time.

[@hyrumbliss5811]

@@etcetc3800 it's actually more difficult technically to land body shots, it leaves you more vulnerable to a counter if you don't land it effectively...I'm just saying that the opportunity was there for him as his opponents were ALWAYS getting mercilessly pummeled to the face. Ali was/still is and will always be one of the people I most look up to as an example of integrity and principle, as well as the most exciting boxing champion of all time.

@@mallokribi3326 No Foreman?

[@mallokribi3326]

@@EminiMagic Man, Foreman is my favorite heavyweight of all time (with Tyson). How i forgot to mention him? Yes Foreman was a tougher opposition than Wepner just because in the 3rd round, he hir Mohammed Ali in the body with 4 or 5 hard punches that hurt Ali and an uppercut in the 7 round that dizzy Ali a bit (Ali said that after in interview). But the fight was a total missed by Foreman. He said that he was so confident that he would knock out Ali. He just charged him without thinking. I'm sure that in a rematch (circa 1976, 1977, Foreman would have TKO Ali).

[@timwarcloud]

Wepner should rank up there with those guys for toughness. Only Chuvalo took a punch better than Wepner.

[@ebperformance8436]

Chuck was no where near any of Ali’s hardest fights! Chuck doesn’t hold a candle against..Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, George Forman. I see this fight as no more than a workout with Chuck being the punching bag! Chuck should’ve built punching bags, and called them Chucks’ guaranteed to withstand 15 rounds of Training.

[@youtoo2233]

Nah, just a glancing shot, Ali was falling backwards BEFORE it even landed

[@Charismaniac]

@@youtoo2233 You could hear the thud and see it land properly on the ribs. It was a deep enough shot to knock down Ali whose balance was a little off while moving backwards. He didn't expect it and accepted the fact. He won anyway but this was a wake up moment for the champ.

[@youtoo2233]

@@Charismaniac if you look at the replay at that right angle you can see that Ali was falling backwards before the punch even landed and if the punch did anything it didn't hurt Ali it just might have knocked him off balance as he was already falling backwards anyway. And think about it there's no way Chuck wepner is going to legitimately knock Ali down with a body punch when all the biggest punchers of all time couldn't floor Ali with body punches. Them ruling it a knock down really pissed Ali off and he made Wepner pay for it for the rest of the fight, the man took a huge beating and got knocked out in the last round

[@Charismaniac]

@@youtoo2233 I see the hit landing before Ali started to fall.

[@youtoo2233]

@@Charismaniac no watch extremely close and Ali is already falling backwards as the punch is landing. I'm amazed how many people really think Wepner hurt Ali. Also if you research it there are photos of wepner standing on Ali's foot which is what caused Ali start to fall and then the force of the punch made Ali fall down all the way but it's not like Ali got hurt so much from being punched by Wepner then actually made him fall down because he was hurt in terrible agony. People really actually think wepner hurt Ali terribly bad to the point Ali was almost knocked out. Crazy

[@JAMAICADOCK]

Too many of Ali's fights in the latter half of his career were dull exhibition bouts with Ali clowning around, carrying his opponents, with his opponents only too glad to play along for an easy paycheck. This wasn't one of them. Wepner came to fight, and in doing so brought the best out of Ali. Ali hadn't looked this good for a long, long time, which was a complement to Wepner, Ali couldn't shuffle his way through this fight, Wepner forced Ali to fight. Almost got his head taken off in doing so, but he made his mark in boxing history.
