Ali's waving the ref over. He knew Lyle was done. He kept hitting him enough to make it obvious but not so much as to massacre the guy.
Merciless Ray Mercer and Drago do not approve 👎
❤absolutely CORRECT
❤absolutely CORRECT
Yep. Pure class.
I can only imagine how good Ali would have been if the government had not robbed him of 3 years of activity.
Ali was better before the government took away his title, but it did not matter because he was still prone to the dangerous left hook and he had a hard time fighting counter punchers like Doug Jones, Ali was not unbeatable. Ps, if Cleveland Williams had not been recovering from being fatally shot by a police officer he would have beaten Muhammad Ali.
@@justindantonio257 true about the left hook but he relied too much on standing and taking shots more causing more damage on himself.
It's not hard to imagine. When you consider he is the heavyweight GOAT even with those 3 years missing.
@@rds00799 He was fast but you could see in his earliest fights that he had defensive flaws that could be exploited, if Cleveland Williams had not been a shell of his former self he would have killed Ali in there match, watch the two Liston fights that Cleveland Williams was involved in. Liston face was cut his nose was bleeding from all the punches he took, he had to go to the body to stop Williams at the end of the day, Ali was tailor made for Williams.
@@StuartRyan-yi5ok He was great because of his activism against the Vietnam war I will always give him that, but for his fighting style not so much
Man Loved watching Ali when I was a Kid. ABC use to Air a lot of His Fights. Rest in Peace Champ..😎
@wasntme7845 OK Man...LMFAO..
@wasntme7845 I Reckon You might have First hand Knowledge on What it Takes to End up in Hell? Nice..
Amen
I'm in awe at how quick Ali was at heavyweight. There was nobody like him and he gave everybody a run for their money.
Every time i watch Ali fights i get emotional. 🥺😔 R.i.p Muhammad Ali
Me too. wishing that he was still here and that he didn't get Parkinson's Disease
Me too
Ahhhhh.......... The Good Old Days ! Ali & Howard Cossell - " This is Ali, the way he can be at age 33 " ! 👊
You do know Lyle was born in 1941?
Howard Cosell got on my nerves but he loved Muhammad.
One of my Top Top 10 favourite Ali victories. Ali’s tactics & strategic manoeuvres against the deadly Lyle is something to behold. Tonnes of granite on display from Ali. Deserving of greater appreciation.
The lat Muhamad Ali kept his boxing throne for 5 years... which is the best worldwide
He is the greatest of all times never will there be another like him MUHAMMAD ALI !!!
the greatest? that is between Marciano and Sugar Ray Robinson
Alii Was garbage most overrated fighter of alltime
@@benrking7922 You should have told him that straight in his face. ;)
@@007zz he was incoherent ken Norton rendered him retarded.
💯
mohamed ali's footwork from the third minute, just mind-blowing, giant .
Muhammad
Floats like a butterfly stings like a bee. The G.O.A.T. Thanks for the memories champ. RIP-IA
Lyle vs foreman one of greatest fights ever. They called it the elevator fight
Yeah. Brilliant fight. More unbelievable than a Hollywood movie
Lyle ought to have gone after Ali much more@@shaz2761
Dude watch Foreman vs Lyle its also epic
No one ever knocked Muhammad Ali out ,he had one of the greatest Chins in Boxing history !
Ken Norton ??
BUT HE TOOK WAY TOO MANY THUMPS TO THE HEAD FOR NO REAL REASON -- JUST TO PROVE IT I GUESS -- BUT YEAH -- HE TOOK SOME REAL SHOTS IN THIS FIGHT & DIDNT EVEN BLINK
Its what killed him
You get hit Boxing! Muhammad Ali RIP fought during the greatest era of Heavyweights in Boxing history and 3 years of his career ,his prime years were taken from him ! When he returned to the Ring he was at 28 years old still dominant but his movement especially early on wasn't the same! He had to adjust in order to deal with pressure Fighters and heavy punchers !
Ken Norton didn't knock Muhammad Ali out ! He won a decision in their first bout!
Ali is THE MAN
Ali was the greatest boxer of all time and even in the smaller weight classes you would never see him as light on his feet as Ali
The greatest of all time RIP Muhammad Ali ❤
ali was a merciful fighter.
Except for the few times when he got mad about his name change
@@terrencerandle1184They asked for that lol… He told them 😂
I seen a fight where the guy was out on his feet obviously done with eyes closed but still his opponent kept hitting him, result a death in the ring 😢
I saw Ron Lyle walking down 15th st in downtown Denver in the 70s one night he had on a full fur trench coat with a mink feldora and a cane walking with a white woman dressed in fur herself, one thing I'll never forget is his hands were huge he was a big scary looking guy.
Yes, he had his prize on his arm. Something Muhammad would never do.
Ali's straight right at 8:40 comes so fast you can't even see it! But, you can certainly hear it.
I had to rewind it countless times and take my 👀 off the left punch he threw first! Then concentrate on that right. And man! So I did it again and watched his head snap back. Smdh.
That's called a one- two, and you'll never see a faster one. @@dallasborn8574
You're right . They sound horrible . Only the soud can give you an idea about how huge this straight right was . If it wasn't the rope , Ron would be on the floor . He recovered but wasn't able to stand up straight and throw a serious punch. Ref. Saved him. But when he started complaining , was a shame. Coz after more than 40 hurts , the ref. Took a very good decision.
رحم الله تعالى السيد محمد علي والحمد لله الذي هداه للإسلام.
Amen. 😊
The straight right that got Lyle was so fast you can’t actually see it. I’ve slowed it down frame by frame and it’s like lightning. Like the phantom punch that got Liston. Ali may have been able get Foreman even if wasn’t in the Congo and with the rope a dope because Lyle gave Foreman a hell of a fight and both went down, Ali had no trouble here with Lyle and Ali was all over Foreman even before he lay on the ropes. Greatest ever.
You should get your eyes tested, everyone can see the right hand that hurt Lyle but Ali couldn't even put him down, it was a premature stoppage with Lyle complaining and ahead on all score cards. In 2015 the FBI released 50 year old sealed wire taps on a Nevada mafia boss who was telling a friend to bet your house on Ali to beat Liston because he was going to take a dive, this only confirmed what everybody already knew, that right hand that hit Liston had nothing on it, even Ali was shouting at Liston to "get up nobody is going to believe this". The Ali vs Foreman fight was fixed, Foreman was exhausted and stumbling around the ring after just 3 rounds, the ropes were loosened so Ali could lean back and avoid Foreman's uppercut, he also received a fast count and when Foreman got up and walked to his corner Ali collapsed to the floor and had to be helped up and don't forget Ali wouldn't give him a rematch despite being the No 1 contender for the next 3 years. Ali is one of the greatest fighters but there are many others.
Ron Lyle was a vastly underrated heavyweight contender in the 70's. But this night in May '75 he was in against the greatest of all time.
Man that jab that Ali threw was crazy! sharp and quick!
I always loved Muhammad Ali. What a great sportsman, and even a greater human being.
Great fighter
Legend Muhammad Ali in the best, masha Allah Allahu Akbar❤❤❤❤❤
If Ron Lyle began boxing earlier he would be one of the greats
when did he star then?????
@@user-bt3tj6we7b at 24 years old after prison
In the jail.
Ron Lyle is a powerful boxer and one of the hardest puncher in history
hi can we fight with ernie shavers
you can
See Foreman-Lyle fight and you will see you are correct.
He started very late. And this fight looked like an early stoppage. He should had tried to run like Ali did against Liston. Lyle looked very slow compared to Ali. Lyle should have learnt conuterpunching.
Shavers and Foreman the hardest puncher in history @@user-hy4yi6te5x
Ali is phenomenon.....but this opponent stood out his ground bravely did not fall.....my respect
Those were the days watching Ali fight on the ABC wide world of sports. Today this is a $75 fight on PPV
Great boxer great hero of the world. Kind person. Faithful and true man.
Mohammed ali was a very amazing boxer in the history ❤
Yes the he was the very amazing the boxer in the history
Ali was a monster ❤
And he had the mercy in the ring. Ali was AMAZING
What a legend...words cannot describe this Alpha human being ❤
Just THE GREATEST !!!!
the greatest? that is between Marciano and Sugar Ray Robinson
Cosell was so in love with Ali. Every tap by Ali is praised, most by his opponents are ignored.
Muhammad Ali was trying to help Lyle, Ron Lyle was a sparring partner of Ali.
Ron Lyle was very unfortunate to be boxing in an era of some of the greatest boxers Ever. He could have been heavyweight champion if it wasn't for Ali, Frazier and foreman etc
& holmes. Those legends made it very hard 4 any champion.
Lyle survived prison and was able to cash some very large checks fighting the likes of Ali and Foreman who had drawing power, I don't think he was "unfortunate" at all. Besides, there's more value to being a contender fighting big names, then being a "champion" in fights nobody cares about. Ask the likes of Mike Weaver, Michael Dokes, Greg Page, Tony Tubbs, Gerrie Coetzee, and all the others that held a version of the belt (albeit a little regarded one with Larry Holmes owning the WBC version) in the 80's how much money they made as "champ" and they'll be the first to tell you that a fight against Ali or Foreman as a contender would have been worth almost as much, maybe even more. Never forget it's the quality and personality of the fighter that enhances the title, not the other way around. By the time Ali came onto the professional scene, boxing was reaching new lows in viewership, interest, and ticket sales. Outside of boxing enthusiasts, most of the public could have cared less that Sonny Liston was heavyweight champion. Ali recognized that and that's when he came up the pro wrestling style gimmicks to increase the draw. He knew just as many people would pay to see him lose as they would to see him win. People today find it hard to comprehend but having been a young man during Ali's fighting career who watched his fights, he would often get booed and a LOT of people did not like him, which would have pleased Ali because that meant his schtick was working.
Ali retired long before I was born but he’s my favorite to watch. I just wish I could’ve been alive to see him in his prime. THE greatest of all time. RIP Champ
same
the greatest? that is between Marciano and Sugar Ray Robinson
@@fatboy1837 sugar Ray Robinson and Rocky Marciano are in my top 5 but there’s only 1 GOAT and Ali is his name
I was 2 years old when he won his fight with Liston so I was very young and wasn't into sports but of course, I knew about Muhammad Ali and now I see why ppl feel the way they do about him. He was an amazing person.
This man was the REAL THING!!! Look at what he did! He was the greatest so great that he had mercy on his enemies. GOD is BEAUTIFUL. Have mercy on yourselves. Have mercy on your enemies. Love to all from the fighting capital of the planet earth.
Ali was way more experienced fighter then he schooled Lyle
He did not school Lyle or he would have knocked hm out in the round he predicted. It was a competitive fight in which Ali took many hard shots and Lyle also dodged a lot of Alis blow. Ali was not in his prime and he still won, but it was not easy.
Facts those who don't really know the sport are always the first to comment. This was a very competitive fight and the cracks is Alli had just dtarted to show.
@@keithcampbell6806 Ali was going easy on Lyle and was on the verge of showing the beginning stages of parkinsons. Lyle was a monster yet had to be saved by the ref once Ali started to get serious. This was a schooling. 60's ali would have made lyle look like a child.
That boxing its so beautifull !!
Ever notice that Ali never threw body punches, just head shots...
Absolutely. His approach was "Kill the head, and the body dies". The exact opposite of what was considered a boxing axiom at the time.
Lyle had nothing on Ali and really had a brawl with Foreman and almost knocked him out. Both Frazier and Norton pushed Ali hard and beat him, and yet both men were crushed by Foreman. Well styles makes fights.
Muhammad Ali The Greatest Of All Time!
the greatest? that is between Marciano and Sugar Ray Robinson
Ali defeated literal giants , names like Ron , Sonny liston, frazier , Ken Norton, and George foreman.
The best till the end of time. End of discussion. One and only.
Ali is playing with lyle 😂😂
Lyle was too slow, but he still had a powerful punch, next to Ernie Shavers and Big George.
I was 9 yrs old. My dad loved Ali
Because Muhammad Ali was athletic, handsome and charismatic, people include me sometimes made the mistake of thinking he was not physically strong, just a very good boxer. However watching the way he pushed off very powerful men like Ron Lyle, you realize he was indeed physically strong even though not on the Foreman brute strength level.
I mean ken Norton said punching his body is like punching concrete that says allot about his physical strength
Allah is the greatest ❤❤
আপনি সেরা ছিলেন এখনো বেচে আছেন সেরা হয়ে লাখো মানুষের রিদয়ে শান্তিতে ঘুমান আপনি মোহাম্মদ আলী
Mohammed ali was a king of boxing ❤❤
Poetry in motion. Right there!!
Mohammed ali is tiger 🎉
I love you very much Muhammad ali is best all world 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Man, Clay, Ali, the lighter colored fighter of the 2 was something special.
Watching Lyle vs Foreman really proves how crazy Ali was for being able to do shit like this later in his career. he was clearly the best.
The quickness of his hands was unparalleled among heavyweights. The strength of his lower body and ability to both avoid and absorb shots. He was a joy to watch, he made the science sweet!
Thank you, Tex Cobb, for the sacrifices you made that drove Howard Cossell out of boxing.
Hay min, iam from Indonesian 🇮🇩🇲🇨🇲🇨❤❤😊😊
Love.u.Muhammad Ali 😪😪🇵🇰🇵🇰
Ali was an athlete at a wholly different level ! Skilled & athletic but power of innovation & improvisation in the ring. Almost like Bruce Lee style - use the opponents strength against them.
L'élégant Mohammad Ali...rahimaho Allah
Ali was really great in this match.
Muhammad Ali is in paradise and we too will be there in Sha Allah
Ali still looked great here ahead of The Thrilla. After the thrilla that was it for him in reality
Nunca habrá, ninguno como Alí.✌️💪👍👍👍
Али не бил в полную силу, это видео. Величайший 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
He was unbeatable before he went to prison.Lightning quick! Unbelievable boxer.The best.Many have copied his traits,but failed!He made boxing an art form,from pre fight to the fight.Greatest wind up merchant who ever lived,he did it with skill though.What a boxer.I was lucky enough to watch him from 1969.Some profess to the best of all time.This man was.Greatest sportsman ever.(Period!)
Muhammad Ali never went to prison.
This version of Ali was unbeatable.
not unbeatable but he has blended both experience and his diminished skills, Ali's best attribute was head movement and reflexses but after exile both of them went away 😢
Mekanın cennet olsun büyük boksör 🇹🇷🤲🇹🇷
Muhamed ali❤legend heroike ne boksin botror Rahmet shpirti i paqt ❤
I think Lyle was a stronger boxer,but Ali had the speed,intelligence and stamina to wear him down,and that he did,finishing him off with mercy and grace,what a dignified and humane artist
Wow, watching this, it's just a straight-up display of athleticism from Ali, plus on-the-fly adjustments to optimize style. You can see how he was able whip-out those left+right combos, and then when Lyle was hurt, was able to rapid fire some flurries to finish the job. Simply an altogether phenomenal, master class performance of offense, defense, skill, and technique against a truly dangerous opponent. ...I've seen a couple of these old school, classic era replays now, and each one has pretty much confirmed what many have said. Some called it the "Golden Era". Whatever you call it though, some of these guys were real champs, and it's only made more sense why Ali really was The Greatest after having out-classed all of them. ...Just amazing.
🔥
Muhammad Ali bigger than boxing 🥊
damn watching ali fighting is like watching some art,its magical
was a great fight both fought well
Ali was indeed THE GOAT 💥🥊✊
the greatest? that is between Marciano and Sugar Ray Robinson
SubhanAllah SubhanAllah SubhanAllah ❤❤❤
Lyles couldn't complain too much about that stoppage, the ropes held him up three times in that last round..
Lyle was a very strong guy, but notice Ali was just as strong. He never got credit for his natural upper body strength.
May God bless Ali.🎉
Weirdly my favorite fighters of the time were Ron Lyle and Jerry Quarry . Sucker for lost causes I guess .
Indeed the greatest.
He was 33,long past his prime....and yet........look at him!!!!
Lyle was tough and fearless, but outclassed here.
actually he has done good job but Ali wasnt peak in shape and condition since 1970
That was Great.
When Ali left the game heavy weight boxing wasn’t the same to me maybe until Tyson came around but even then!
What Larry Holmes he was great also, he was Ali but with better defense and fundamentals, Holmes held the heavyweight title for seven years that's not exactly a blip in the radar.
@@justindantonio257 Sure but he wasn’t exciting to watch he didn’t capture the world of boxing like Ali or Tyson.
@@spank2424 He was not the most exciting fighter I will give you that, being exciting is not always a good quality in a champion, Holmes was also Alis sparring partner.
@@justindantonio257 So who was the most exciting heavyweight boxing to watch???
@@justindantonio257He was NOT better than Ali in any way maybe a bit in power that's it he's flat footed most of the time, reflexes good but not Ali's level had huge problems in clenches , his jab game was a copy from Ali except Ali was faster and moved with it , he barely could've knocked out an ill Ali let alone a young one bring Ali in the Cleveland Williams fight or even the 70's and he would've schooled him and make him seem awkward
Best boxer ever. So far
the greatest? that is between Marciano and Sugar Ray Robinson
رحمة الله عليك يا بطل
What a champion...
BOXE years 50/60/70/ the best.
Muhammad Ali was word champion
Both look knackered and slow here is this the last round.
The One and Only!!
Mohamed ali ❤👍🔥💪
❤❤❤❤❤❤
