One of my favourite Ali fights. I have watched it many times and will never get sick of it. “Shock him and Lock him.”Great strategy up against a younger opponent with hand speed . He completely dominated Spinks using his amazing corner and experience.
No mistaking this, that they never will be another boxer, athlete and showman like Muhammad Ali. What a legend. May Allah S.W.T bless him with the highest rank in Jannah. for this remarkable and beautiful Believer.

@TheNeorch The great Ali, Ali the great was more than just a boxer bro. His greatness, an encyclopedia is needed to describe this man. He was definitely the most intelligent and intellectual to ever be a boxer. By an immeasurable mile. He won the unwinnable because he wasn't a meathead ( Foreman in the Rumble ) Though by boxing records, RM, was the goat within his career and generation span. He did not lose ONCE My favourite boxer, is George Foreman. His sheer power. His longevity Though, strictly speaking by record, RM was undefeated. There's a video where Ali says, of all the previous champions, RM was the best. Clearly he says it. As I've said, Ali the Great, was above all , overall But by his own testimony, he wasn't the best boxer, though he said, quite rightly, he was the greatest
Goose bumps. This fight is overlooked as one of Ali’s best fight considering everything. Wish he had stopped after this. Forgot how quick Spinks was. I remember watching him in the Olympics. Exciting time.
Ali was only 1/3 of himself you could tell his timing wasn't there but yet he still defeats this young man beco.ing the first hw to win belt for 3rd time.
Clinching is a part of the fight. Holding is different and in this fight Ali did it only once or twice. If I was fighting Frazier though I would hold and never let go!@@ancientarchie1463
@@robwilton9539 I’m going to re watch part 1 now. This one was more Ali than I initially remembered. But Spinks deserved more juice from the scorecards considering he was defending champ here.
cooper banged him out saved by glove cutting and meth and 25 minute break. he was only good at getting hit, and that ended up with him having brain damage.
91 million people watched this live on ABC, more than all but three Super Bowls to that point. That was the power of Ali. He's the last truly TRANSCENDENT athlete. Two billion people watched this worldwide. That is astounding.

You are so right. Ali had too many greedy people around him who exploited his ego and love of the spotlight so they could make money. Too bad and so sad. Ali probably had the greatest athletic body ever also. It would have been a true gift to the world to watch him go through this life viable and strong but it wasn't to be. No athlete ever gave people more joy and inspiration. Take a picture because you won't see anyone like Ali ever again.
I was at this fight sitting ringside, right near Ali's corner. Was there with my father. I was a 14 year old kid at the time, I look back on that night as one of the most fond memories I have of my childhood and of my dad who's long since passed away.
Ali was a hero in our house. I watched this fight with my dad when I was 13 on an old black and white TV in England. Exactly the same as you , it is something that I remember from my childhood. Watching it now I have to give so much respect to Spinks who was a fair and honest fighter . He never threw any sly shots after the breaks and was just outboxed. Ali is an example to anyone who calls them self a man.

Ali, superman, able to back away from a speedy punch from a 24 year old while he was at the age of 36 and it never touches him (2nd round). He was one of the greatest athletes of modern day. You had to be in better physical condition to do what he did than play profootball, or any other sport. It wasn't just about being in condition it was about being toughened up. The skills it took to not get hit were just as important and being accurate with the punches. It's amazing to see him measuring out this dodging and weaving 24 yr old and then bullseeing him in the head while still managing to not get hit too much. He was the greatest. I never get tired of watching Ali. Most modern boxers spend their whole lives studying Ali.
He tried to hurt em but kept getting clinched. Ali couldn't move when he fought Larry Holmes. You can see spinks throwing with his full body weight in those over hands and hooks. He was trying to ko but not waste stamina breaking out the clinch.
@@MrNTF-vi2qc- yeah, then Holmes went on pounding a defenseless man with bombs - but, it’s cool, Larry had never been knocked out in any fights that was until Mike Tyson took REVENGE for Ali and Holmes was KO’ed and almost put to sleep permanently!

I agree, M. Ali was the Greatest in And out of the ring. My hero since the age of 8. With credit to Spinks, after Defeating Ali in their 1st fight he said, " Ali is the Greatest, I'm just the Latest."
How does he know ali was the greatest, he didn't,t fight all the greats, sorry but ali fans always touch shit about Marciano when they show his fights, they warn ali about holding but they never take points from him, I agree he ,s fast and can box ,but all the holding I don't like,
It is just a part of a developed style which has been cultivated since he was a boy and began training. Every boxer develops habits; Frazier: below the belt ( lack of height; Chuvalo, same thing. Tyrell; punches behind the head - every boxer has his old habits- good or bad@@mikemilliken3596
@@treetrout3987 so ,he,s holding in this fight.you can like who you want.

I hope you understand that. No excuses.
I believe this was Ali last golden moment, last victory. Ali did retire after this fight in 1978, but some reason tied to Don King and a little bit of hubris over the thought of Larry Holmes carrying on as Ali'' successor, that is what misled Ali to make a comeback in 1980, by which Ali suffered a lot. May Allah bless Muhammad Ali and inshallah he can make it to Jannah!
Ali needed money...that is the main reason for his fight with Holmes...and it was a fight that should not have happened...Ali was already suffering from Parkinsons Disease...Ali transcended Boxing and was a WORLDWIDE HUMANITARIAN... May GOD rest Muhammad Ali in peace...❤
@@JOHNROBERTCRUZNo that's not true. Ali didn't need money. He is already Millionaire. Ali got the biggest paycheck it that 60s and 70s era. Only George foreman got same payment as Ali 5 million dollars each for their fight . Ali thought he could be the 4 times world heavyweight champion. Don king offered him a good green leaves 💵💵💵 for the fight against Holmes. Actually people saying Ali came back to fight because he need the money .And that is totally is bullshit. He said that the reason he cameback from retirement because he thought that larry Holmes is not a true champion and copying his style . And Ali He want to became the first 4 times heavyweight world champion .
@@cemiltatari6804 No but I Knew the history of Ali life.I read a lot of Ali biography books..i watch all if his interview.And people were talking bullshit making up stories about he's getting broke and the fight between him and Larry because of his financial problems and going to bankruptcy 😋🤭🤭 that is all bullshit. They know nothing. And do you know that Ali and Holmes fight, Ali get higher and better paycheck than Larry as a world champion?????? Don were paying Ali,as if he is still the world champion... I think you can find on RUclips Ali talking about his fight in and Larry. And in that interview Ali was laughing and joking when he said some people out there were talking about me saying i took the fight because i was broke 😁😁😁😁and i really did not know where they get this stories from 😅😅😅
Amazing how Ali, at age 36, after nearly having to get a leg amputated, with Parkinson's rising, and after all those years of torture in the ring, could still dance like he did when he was 22. RIP Ali. Greatest to ever do it
True, that’s why I’ve been saying to my self every time I watch him fought after this one “why didn’t you end your career with this extraordinary achievement?” but it’s the God’s destiny that he chose not to stop at this glorious moment.
Ali was the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time for sure. Tremendous skill and energy. Ali was bigger than life in the ring and outside of it. A Legend…Period👍
True but deciding to keep doing this at nearly 37 had horrific consequences for Ali . He should have stopped after the 3rd fight with Frazier he was not the same man after that. At the latest he should have retired after 76. It's the fights from 77 to 80 that destroyed him . Even when he won he took tremendous punishment. By the time Ali fought shavers his foot speed was gone so he changed his style to one where he just stood and took shots repeatedly and waited for his opportunity to strike. He beat Shavers but the amount of hard shots he took was insane Boxing was just one thing that Ali could have done great. There was so much he could have accomplished post boxing.
Ali still floating around the ring in the 15th pushing out the jab. I AM THE GREATEST! I AM THE GREATEST OF ALL TIMES! AINT NOBODY BETTER THAN ME! FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY STING LIKE A BEE! Ali - just stating the facts.
In my young days my parents always allowed me to let me see the Ali-fights live in TV.. the fights was always in the middle of the night or in the earliest hours of the morning.. l saw all the fights and even today it give's ne goosbomps when l look at this re-match.. l was devasted after Ali lost the first fight, but as he was told the Reporters after the decision that he was not serious enough... but then, this re-match was a completly different kind of Boxing: Ali was dancing like he never did in the last 5, 6 years. I remember that l almost could not believe what l just witnessed... today, we know that he should not fight at all, especially after the "Thrilla in Manilla"... he should retire.. but l also can imagine that he still felt strong enough to go back into the ring and also there was his huge Entourage. And they wanted (and needed) A "fighting" Ali because the big money was in the fights.. but it is history.. l just can't express my Sympathie's and my admiration for Muhammad Ali.. he was willing to go into jail because he refuse to go into a war. He accept the very unfair decision that he lost his title and that he was not allowed to fight in a Boxing ring.. but he accept it - and he came back.. he came back 3 times, and people did not believe in him anymore. But he always makes the impossible real...this fight was the perfect example: noone really believed that he was able to stand on his feets for 15 rounds - but he did.. and how he did it.. Ali is still the greatest and he will be that forever. He was a phenomen

I remember watching the first one and this second fight live on TV. The 70's going into the 80's were truly the golden age of boxing...So miss those times..

When I listened to the first Ali-Frazier fight on the radio I was devastated that he lost to Joe Frazier. I had to hold back tears the next day at school. I followed him all through the years and he was one of my greatest heroes, rivaled only by Mickey Mantle ( baseball was my first love). In the years since I have come to admire Joe Frazier equally with his great rival. Those three fights will never be equaled. They finally became friends later in life. As I matured I had to recall Ali's rather brutal character insults at Joe and came to have a deeper understanding of the man's undaunted determination when facing his rival. I recall them now as equals... fighters I will always regard as two of the most fiercely determined warriors of all time. May they both rest in peace.
Absolutely on point comment. Also I would like to mention that I felt deep respect for George Foreman over the years as one of the great three of all times.
Even though Ali was on his way out of boxing and still looked good Ali didn’t belong in the ring with these young talented fighters. The only thing these fighters got out these fights was great learning skills and boost of confidence from being in ring with arguably the best Heavyweight boxer of all time.

All the others who did the same were let go on with their lives.I was told Ali should not be allowed to fight anymore. I said he did his time and all that. Boxing was how he made his living. I said all the others were allowed to go back and go back to their occupations. But Ali should not be allowed to make a living. Stupid damn racist!!
... ALI Was Class "A" Talent. When Ali Entered The Ring, He OWNED It.💢💥
I agree, M. Ali was the Greatest in And out of the ring. My hero since the age of 8. With credit to Spinks, after Defeating Ali in their 1st fight he said, " Ali is the Greatest, I'm just the Latest."
How does he know ali was the greatest, he didn't,t fight all the greats, sorry but ali fans always touch shit about Marciano when they show his fights, they warn ali about holding but they never take points from him, I agree he ,s fast and can box ,but all the holding I don't like,
It is just a part of a developed style which has been cultivated since he was a boy and began training. Every boxer develops habits; Frazier: below the belt ( lack of height; Chuvalo, same thing. Tyrell; punches behind the head - every boxer has his old habits- good or bad@@mikemilliken3596

@@treetrout3987 so ,he,s holding in this fight.you can like who you want. But I like the guy that never lost the title , so he never had to regain the title, we know who that is, I trust the fighters that come to fight in top shape because you won,t get ripped off if you bet on them if they lose. I hope you understand that. No excuses.
Happy Birthday to The Greatest !

I believe this was Ali last golden moment, last victory. Ali did retire after this fight in 1978, but some reason tied to Don King and a little bit of hubris over the thought of Larry Holmes carrying on as Ali'' successor, that is what misled Ali to make a comeback in 1980, by which Ali suffered a lot. May Allah bless Muhammad Ali and inshallah he can make it to Jannah!
Ali needed money...that is the main reason for his fight with Holmes...and it was a fight that should not have happened...Ali was already suffering from Parkinsons Disease...Ali transcended Boxing and was a WORLDWIDE HUMANITARIAN...
May GOD rest Muhammad Ali in peace...❤
Great analysts
@@JOHNROBERTCRUZNo that's not true. Ali didn't need money. He is already Millionaire. Ali got the biggest paycheck it that 60s and 70s era. Only George foreman got same payment as Ali 5 million dollars each for their fight . Ali thought he could be the 4 times world heavyweight champion. Don king offered him a good green leaves 💵💵💵 for the fight against Holmes. Actually people saying Ali came back to fight because he need the money .And that is totally is bullshit. He said that the reason he cameback from retirement because he thought that larry Holmes is not a true champion and copying his style . And Ali He want to became the first 4 times heavyweight world champion .
@@Pey-Gang Were you his bookkeeper ??
@@cemiltatari6804 No but I Knew the history of Ali life.I read a lot of Ali biography books..i watch all if his interview.And people were talking bullshit making up stories about he's getting broke and the fight between him and Larry because of his financial problems and going to bankruptcy 😋🤭🤭 that is all bullshit. They know nothing. And do you know that Ali and Holmes fight, Ali get higher and better paycheck than Larry as a world champion?????? Don were paying Ali,as if he is still the world champion... I think you can find on RUclips Ali talking about his fight in and Larry. And in that interview Ali was laughing and joking when he said some people out there were talking about me saying i took the fight because i was broke 😁😁😁😁and i really did not know where they get this stories from 😅😅😅

Amazing how Ali, at age 36, after nearly having to get a leg amputated, with Parkinson's rising, and after all those years of torture in the ring, could still dance like he did when he was 22. RIP Ali. Greatest to ever do it
True, that’s why I’ve been saying to my self every time I watch him fought after this one “why didn’t you end your career with this extraordinary achievement?” but it’s the God’s destiny that he chose not to stop at this glorious moment.

The Greatest Boxer Ali Was Bigger than Boxing This Man Left A Great Legacy!
Ali was the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time for sure. Tremendous skill and energy. Ali was bigger than life in the ring and outside of it. A Legend…Period👍
He is already almost 37 years old here - Ali can still do this at his age 😳👌
True but deciding to keep doing this at nearly 37 had horrific consequences for Ali . He should have stopped after the 3rd fight with Frazier he was not the same man after that. At the latest he should have retired after 76. It's the fights from 77 to 80 that destroyed him . Even when he won he took tremendous punishment. By the time Ali fought shavers his foot speed was gone so he changed his style to one where he just stood and took shots repeatedly and waited for his opportunity to strike. He beat Shavers but the amount of hard shots he took was insane
Boxing was just one thing that Ali could have done great. There was so much he could have accomplished post boxing.

I have many Ali bouts and i saw that Ali took a lot of punches to the head. Only in 60s he was untouchable.
Ali held Spinks like a newborn all night but he defintely got the best of him.

I’ll never get bored watching Mohammed Ali’s fight it’s always entertaining !❤
In my young days my parents always allowed me to let me see the Ali-fights live in TV.. the fights was always in the middle of the night or in the earliest hours of the morning.. l saw all the fights and even today it give's ne goosbomps when l look at this re-match.. l was devasted after Ali lost the first fight, but as he was told the Reporters after the decision that he was not serious enough... but then, this re-match was a completly different kind of Boxing: Ali was dancing like he never did in the last 5, 6 years. I remember that l almost could not believe what l just witnessed... today, we know that he should not fight at all, especially after the "Thrilla in Manilla"... he should retire.. but l also can imagine that he still felt strong enough to go back into the ring and also there was his huge Entourage. And they wanted (and needed) A "fighting" Ali because the big money was in the fights.. but it is history.. l just can't express my Sympathie's and my admiration for Muhammad Ali.. he was willing to go into jail because he refuse to go into a war. He accept the very unfair decision that he lost his title and that he was not allowed to fight in a Boxing ring.. but he accept it - and he came back.. he came back 3 times, and people did not believe in him anymore. But he always makes the impossible real...this fight was the perfect example: noone really believed that he was able to stand on his feets for 15 rounds - but he did.. and how he did it.. Ali is still the greatest and he will be that forever. He was a phenomen
I could not stay up for the full fights but remember the excitement of waking up to learn if Ali won. Child of the 70s.

Everyone watched this. This is the last Ali TV win I remember. The next fight I saw was Holmes' vs. Ali...on broadcast TV. Classic. RIP to Ali and Spinks.
I am not ashamed to say I cried when he fought Holmes. Larry said it hurt to have to hit Ali.. He said it was easy to see from the start that that Ali was defenseles.Several states when Ali went to see about getting a licences he couldnt pass the physical. Cant think of the state. Someon got a lot of money for that one. If you watch the fight you see Larry look and motioned to the ref to stop it. The state and the doctor were disgraceful!!!

When I listened to the first Ali-Frazier fight on the radio I was devastated that he lost to Joe Frazier. I had to hold back tears the next day at school. I followed him all through the years and he was one of my greatest heroes, rivaled only by Mickey Mantle ( baseball was my first love). In the years since I have come to admire Joe Frazier equally with his great rival. Those three fights will never be equaled. They finally became friends later in life. As I matured I had to recall Ali's rather brutal character insults at Joe and came to have a deeper understanding of the man's undaunted determination when facing his rival. I recall them now as equals... fighters I will always regard as two of the most fiercely determined warriors of all time. May they both rest in peace.
Absolutely on point comment. Also I would like to mention that I felt deep respect for George Foreman over the years as one of the great three of all times.
