Il primo Ali' era anche potente nei colpi che portava rispetto all' ultimo, Ali': chi dice che non era un pugile potente dovrebbe guardare il primo Ali'.
Era un genio, un tattico ragion per cui poteva ingannare il fatto che era egli stesso a decidere quando affondare i colpi.
Nel frattempo schivando con i suoi riflessi quasi non umani, con un gioco di gambe mai visto e con il suo Jab che a lungo andare gli avversari sentivano, eccome.
Il tutto coronato da un grande fiato, e da una resistenza fuori dal normale: soprattutto ai fianchi, Ali' sapeva incassare colpi come pochi.
In questo periodo, Ali' aveva anche un ottimo gancio (secondo me): e quando affondava, era molto bravo e veloce nelle combinazioni.
Sicuramente e' stato un grande pugile (tra i piu' grandi di sempre): e' stato un pugile anomalo e quindi unico nel suo genere.
Aveva inventato uno stile tutto suo, sfruttando al massimo le sue caratteristiche: queste immagini mi fanno capire ancor meglio, quanto Ali' sbaglio' a combattere contro Holmes!
Aveva battutto tutti i piu' grandi pugili di varie epoche (compreso il distruttivo, Foreman): avrebbe dovuto smettere proprio in quel momento dopo aver sconfitto Foreman.
Dopo aver sconfitto Foreman, Ali' non doveva dimostrare piu' nulla: la sua grandezza era riconosciuta da tutti.
Invece, Ali' contro Holmes (che e' un signor pugile), era ancor piu' vecchio, era meno veloce rispetto all' Ali' precedente, era molto meno potente nei colpi rispetto a questo Ali' ed era rimasto con 0 riflessi rispetto a questo Ali' non umano proprio nel saper schivare i colpi.
Oltre all' eta', contro Holmes dagli occhi si poteva vedere che Ali' aveva qualcosa che non andava: secondo me, aveva gia' sviluppato la fase iniziale del Parkinsons.
E chi ha problematiche neurologiche, all' inizio della malattia puo' anche non rendersene conto: le persone vicine pero' non potevano non rendersene conto e non avrebbero dovuto mandarlo a combattere contro Holmes (da malato).
Il tutto fu' sinceramente irriguardoso e pure pericoloso per la vita dello stesso Ali'.
Questo non toglie nulla alla bravura di Holmes dell' epoca ma Holmes ha combattuto contro un malato di Parkinsons non contro il vero Ali'.
Infine, la licenza che venne data fuori dagli States ad Ali' per il suo ultimo incontro, fu' un gesto ancor peggiore perche' in quel momento lo sapevano anche i sassi che Ali' era ormai malato.
Capisco che e' difficile fermare la volonta' di un pugile avanti con l' eta' che vuole a tutti i costi salire ancora sul ring: ma un pugile malato come Ali', doveva essere fermato.
Liston took a dive in this fight.
Not the first Ali fight to look rigged.
Nice punch.
Just one straight punch
I think liston just realized he couldn't beat ali so he stayed down he could take that punch tho.
this was a fixed fight.
I like how some piss drinkers moron crying in the comment section because ali destroyed him and you favs are just garbage😂😂😂😂
Too bad Mr. Liston had problems with mobsters. This fight would have been legendary going the distance
For all the conspiracy theory around this fight…..Liston was hit and hurt….the way he shook and went down is legit. But the main tell is this…..if he wanted to take a dive…..he would have stayed down, not gotten up and continued fighting. Jersey Joe Walcott and Nat Fleischer messed up the stoppage…..Liston got up before Walcott counted 10 and the fight should have continued. But Liston looked hurt when he got up, too. I have seen other "light" punches lead to KOs…..Mike McCallum vs Donald Curry in boxing…..Nick Diaz in his first fight with Robbie Lawler. A well timed punch you don't see can be devastating, even if it doesn't look like a huge shot
👍🏻👌🙂🇺🇲
Nobody can tell me this fight wasn't thrown.
He was the American Alexandar the great Masallah Ali u got the best name in earth and best personality 😢we miss you big Ali
Sonny is bad these fighter..but was greats fighter too..and Ali Stella of ringues!!!
Der beste Boxer der Welt ist Muhammad Ali und Mike Tyson.
His footwork jst tired opponents
He prayed to allah to make him victorious, that impressed me,Alhamdulillah,always pray regardless how confident you are,everything is from Allah.
Gee….liston was all around mobsters…. this looks like he took a dive.
If Ali was in his prime today hed be hated and called a runner like Floyd.
Per come si muoveva Alì sembrava più un peso medio😮
Believe me, Liston would've felt that sidewinder punch like a thunder bolt on his face ⚡
Liston through that fight it was a set up
Sonny's fall looks totally staged. He went down slowly so as not to really hurt himself and then immediately rolled over onto his stomach. Nah. Oh well. Past is passed.
That's a lot of this fight for boring with all the dancing around just like Floyd Mayweather
The way Muhammad Ali treated Joe Frazier before the first fight with Joe Frazier was pathetic
🤔…
Jolly good show! 👍
Ali was from the Matrix
How fake do u want it, he haven't even touched Sonny, not even a kid can get KO with that weak punch
Vengo por baki
Fake fight
Dive
He made liston like a bully gets a professional treatment.
Who else is here after reading about this legendary fight in mindset: the new psychology of success
Young Ali was the best boxer ever. Don’t get me wrong, he was still great after he returned to the ring at the end of 1970. But he had lost the speed he showed before the ban from the sport.
What is the song name?
Didn’t even look like he had any power behind that right! He only threw a half punch and knocked him down which means he has much more power than anyone thought!
Should give Liston respect too, that guy came from nothing and was hard as a coffin nail. Unreal champion and true fighter.
