Today In Boxing History: Ali/Wepner

[TheNig]

Match 24, 1975



Funniest part about this fight is when Wepner knocked Ali down or stepped on his foot, you can tell Ali was appalled. And then Ali commenced to setting boot to ass.

One of the funniest fights I've ever seen.

Man I haven't seen this shyt in years my only memory of this is like a million check hooks Ali landed on this dude.

 

[H.I.M.]

ESPN made a two hr special on this dude for getting his feet tangled up with Ali

Wepner was shyt. How he won fights is beyond me..

His only meaningful "win" in his entire career...is a gift decision over an old Ernie Terrell...a fight that was pretty much unanimously scored for Terrell by press row...he had no business contending for a undisputed title.

Wepner was shyt. How he won fights is beyond me..

I STILL don't get it. This dude was a punching bag and a speed bag
My pops was a can but I swear he was better than that dude. Pop Dukes used to get heated when looking at bums fight, especially the ones he knew.

The only thing the Bayonne bleeder was good at in the ring was bleeding...

What Sly did to him was foul though, clearly based Rocky off Wepner's career and tried to cut him out of the money...
