Good fight, brave Clark and horrible reporter who was so comical that he saw bloody Stevenson while whole face of Clark was on blood, he saw some punches of Clark when he was staggering around because of heavy uppercuts from Stevenson. Yes, Clark was good, brave, aggressive but he was beaten already in first round, not to mention other rounds and knockdown.
REALLY????…….so the continuos interference by the referee have nothing to do in this fight???…….did you notice that the referee was only observing and interrupting the American fighter?
6:46 approximately; Clark landed a blow that landed on Stevenson's shoulder, the crowd rebelled, and even the match commentator 😳🤔😂 is something really strange.
Credo che teofilo Stevenson sia stato il più grande pugile del mondo olimpico! Forse solo laszlo papp, sul piano schermistico, e per i pesi medi e 'welters' credo possa accostarsi a lui. Avrebbe probabilmente vinto una quarta medaglia d'oro al tempo del boicottaggio mi pare dell'84. Lo ricordo nell'incontro con Damiani dove subì una sconfitta. Ancora sarebbe potuto passare al professionismo ed affrontare Cassius Clay ma preferì al business l'affetto dei cubani e l'apprezzamento di tutti i poveri diavoli del mondo! Lo ammiro!
El y Ali eran muy buenos amigos,busca en RUclips videos de ellos,incluso pactaron una pelea entre ellos y al final no se dió xq Ali le dijo q si perdía el,tenía mucho q perder y si Stevenson perdía,No pasaba nada y siguieron siendo amigos hasta la muerte,Ali hasta le ofreció $ a Stevenson x si ese era el problema y Stevenson no aceptó
Una pelea muy buena el Teo como siempre un estilo muy limpio donde apenas comete infracciones y siempre manteniendo su ecuanimidad hasta el final.Sobre su oponente diré que el árbitro desde que comenzó el combate se le montó arriba que no lo dejaba hacer su combate,me pareció un poco exagerado la labor del tercer hombre del cuadrilátero.
@@michaelbglovier1116 from my understanding this had all to do with the political climate and honoring the desires of the countries leader Fidel Castro. Cuba easily produces some of the most skilled boxers world wide and the amateur's have more battles than most American professional boxers their entire careers. Could he have been "too" scared? It's possible but not likely.

Cosell gave a master class in partisanship for this one. Why he felt it necessary to carry on as he so often did remains a mystery. On the other hand, maybe he was just an asshole.
the Cuban Stevenson got to fight a steady supply of amateur boxers. None of them polished good professionals. Stevenson never had to fight a fully fledged PRO boxer. Granted though, Stevenson was a good boxer for his time, Cuban or not. He was long, fast, and good hands. So I actually congratulate the boxer Stevenson.
That referee was biased against Clarke from the outset! He kept looking at Clarke all of the time, and kept warning him for every thing on the face of this earth. Look for yourselves.

en Cuba todo lo que no conviene aún siendo en el deporte, lo esconden o lo desaparecen. si buscas las peleas de teofilo stevenson con igor visolky simplemente no salen. ese ruso le ganó las dos veces que se enfrentó con él, de manera abrumadora. Si se hubiera dado la pelea de stevenson vs ali lo hubiera matado. Ali era un boxeador de verdad.
@@esmerbarthelemy1698 es polémico decir eso, Ali nunca boxeo con el ni siquiera se enfrento a alguien con físico similar a él, foreman y el resto de los boxeadores que enfrento eran más bien de mucha potencia de golpe pero lentos ,stevenson tenía un físico más ágil, buen juego de manos buenisimo juego de pie y una pegada demoledora, era tan rápido como Ali solo que creo que ganaría stevenson porque tenía extremidades más largas ali solo media 1,91 y teofilo 1,96, el boxeo cubano está entre los más grandes estandartes del mundo y es difícil saber que pasaría yo e visto peleas de ambos y créeme si el cubano se sube al cuadrilatero ali hiva a saber lo que era un boxeador de verdad.
Noooo! The referee i hope was fired after this. This is painful to see, the ameriac only lost the last round in my view which can be debatable considerind a knock down in amateur doesn't earn extra points.
Stevenson wanted no part of Ali and never went pro. Corrupt ref! Never warned TS after all the shoves he gave to get distance. Fight was lost from jump. 12:47
Teofilo no hubiera podido ganar nunca ni a freaser,foreman y mucho menos a Ali y yo soy cubano y se lo raton que era Stevenson que no podia ni con milian.
Clark got jobbed in that one. He fought an Incredible fight there though, man. I can't really tell, but it looked as though Clark slipped as Stephenson landed his shot, too.
Pelea reñida pero el árbitro acaba con la pelea en varias ocasiones y la para por gusto Clark trato de mejorar la calidad de su boxeo en cuanto a su pelea anterior pero en esta vi empate no vi a Stevenson bien lo vi flojo para tanta fama que tenía en esos tiempos
Stevenson fué un buen boxeador amateur,dependía de su pegada y nada más. Esa pelea la ganó el arbitro y nadie más. Clark pudo haberselo comido pero el arbitro no ayudó. Hubiese querido ver a Stevenson en el pro,muy fuerte sí pero sus piernas no aguantaban dos asaltos intensos.
Commentator blamed the referee cause clark is a brawler ,holding , head down pushing but the referee is at fault, 100% gringo, loosers that always blamed someone else for their weakness and flaws, just like the ignorant and filthy public throwing trash on the ring just disgusting
Bro it is amateur rules no pro. Clark was hitting Stevenson with the head a few of the times when he puts the head down. Try to see without audio. Because the screaming of people make you think he was winning. He was not.
And Stevenson was already very old when he fought this fight.If that had been some years earlier he would have been hit only one time and to the floor he goes.
I don't understand what they're arguing about, it's amateur boxing, you can't stick your head in, or water down the opponent's hands. All this was done by the American boxer who entered with his head down. Clark has one eye closed and the commentator saying he's winning the fight
The referee had his eyes on Clark, constantly and he was from Cuba. That was wrong because it was a conflict of interest. They did not have another referee at hand? BS! The referee HAD to play with Stevenson and I believe that that affected the fight.
At this time, ABC's Wide World of sports organized a lot of these international amateur boxing meets between the best Americans and other countries. The way it worked was that each country provided the officials. If the referee was from country A in one bout, that meant the majority of judges were from Country B. Then the reverse occurred for the next bout. Quite often the scoring of these fights was based on nationalistic judging.
Olympic boxing was very political back in those days, for sure. Stevenson was an imposing figure and Clark was probably never going to beat him anyway, however, he would have had a better chance had it not been for the referee. I never saw Clark do anything slightly wrong in the fight but was admonished repeatedly. I really miss boxing the way it used to be…
I’ Cuban and of course as an athlete I admire Stevenson but not his political position at all and in this fight was favored I believe, Clark was more active.
The match was an absolute sham. When Clark nailed Stevenson with the right hand in the 1st, ( broke Stevensons nose) the referee did everything possible to keep Clark from taking control of the match. Never even looked at Stevenson once the entire match. 😕
Maybe the letter to the President would not be written if he could predict latter USA - Afganistan history. Russian reacton to USA on Afg. invasion was "God help them, they dont know whera they are going"
Stevenson fue un gran boxeador pero hubo otro boxeador en su propia división en esa misma época de apellido Milian que era mejor que él En la última pelea que tuvieron Castro le oredeno a Sagarra que Milian no podía ganar El propio Sagarra lo confesó hace unos años. Por eso disfruté mucho la pelea en que Igor visoski le ganó a Stevenson
Error,Milian nunca fue mejor que Stevenson,le peleaba bien al campeón pero perdía con boxeadores muy inferiores a los cuales Stevenson los paseaba en el Rin.y con respecto a visoski era parecido.
Actually Stevenson didn't work a day in his life.All he did was fight.He was in good shape and only the Soviets put up a good fight the rest were easy opponents.
Кто знает как зовут судью в ринге? Лучший из всех тех, кого я тут видел в разных роликов, разных годов. БРАВО арбитр! А Стивенсону надо было просто пробить двойку, а не ждать атаки.
Teofilo stevenson tres veces campeon olimpico de los pesos completos
And a communist pig, who dedicated his medals to the dictator Castro.
I liked Howard Cosell but he allowed himself to be caught up in the emotive times..Clarke fought gamely& landed his left hook effectively but Stephenson was mostly in charge! And he certainly didn't need that ref to be butting in constantly!

Love the back room footage....
😀 Clark gets knocked down twice. The commentator: the referee messed up with Clark's concentration:) 😂

Cracked me up being called heavy by Cosell.

Clark fought excellently but he was knocked down twice.
once, the other time was a slip... thought Clark won the 1st 2 rounds.. the referee was a disgrace.
Yo do not know how amateur boxing works. Do you know why the gloves have the white fronts?the fighters were supposed to try to hit with that part.

Um, looked that up at 6:46 and you are wrong. That was a clean punch to the side of the head. Put it in slow-mo.
Teófilo Stevenson a great boxer. Commentator couldn’t be more biased in Clarke’s favour
And neither can you.

Great Stevenson from lıttle Kuba defeated the Amerıcan and Amerıca. Bravo Teofılo you were and stıll are a legend!!
He was basically a professional boxer who should have stopped fighting amateurs after going to the Olympics, but he kept going back

These USA-vs-The World boxing meets were greet entertainment back in the day. The judging and refereeing often left a lot to be desired, though.

Few boxers resisted Stevenson for full 3 rounds, what the Referee did with the stops was to make the fight last three full rounds.
Igor vysotsky did 2 times. As did Marvin Stinson in a loss.
Howard Cosell the amateur announcer.

stevenson should have been a pro early in his career
Explain to me how a Cuban is the referee in a bout involving a Cuban boxer!!!🤯
Very simple, it was only americans and cubans involved. So in another fight it was an american referee and so forth.
@Roy Au Meuni Thank you! I overlooked the obvious.😄
Well what if they used a USA referee? Needless to say the Cuban official was horrible doing this fight.
There should have been Refs from other Countries!..Poorly organized!
The same way there are referees from the US refereeing for fighters from the US. Duh!
Why the referee is from cuba if one boxer in final too from cuba
Clark was doomed once he got the letter from Jimmy Carter!🤣

It is true, but Stevenson was too old at that time.

Shame is optional here
