“I do not believe ali was ever knocked down twice in any of his fights”
yes he was, by Joe Frazier, Madison Square Garden, 1971.
One of the announcers claims he slipped, but he slipped right after Joe punched him hard, and I have a hard time believing in such coincidences.
which round did the second knockdown happen in ‘THE FIGHT’? none of my boxing history books, 1971 ‘sport magazines, 1971 ‘sports illustrated’ magazines mention a second knockdown that was put into the books as a recorded knockdown. if it was just your opinion that there was another knockdown that’s cool but I do not believe there was another recorded knockdown. I just watched the entire fight again (from the internet) last night and only one knockdown was recorded that I saw anyway. I might be in error, let me know if you find out something different. bobby
