@saulhudson420 But a knock downs a knock down in boxing, right? unless the ref rules a push or otherwise. he was the real life Rocky. he knows he was outclasses but fought on heart.

@saulhudson420 yeah, well im startin to see it that way too, but i still wonder why the hell ali took that damn 8 count?? maybe he was just so tired by then, he just said hell with it, but then again, it was then we really started to see some ali action! aww who the hell knows what goes through the mind of the great ones.

@olamf1977 I'm not sayin Webner tripped him, but you can tell he lost his balance.
Thumbs up if you came here after finding out this fight was the inspiration for Rocky.

I'm watching the ESPN 60 for 60, for anyone else watching this masterpiece Chuck Wepner = Chuck Norris' lesser cousin; But I must say this painfully. It wasn't a true knockdown. Ali was falling before the punch landed and was hit on the way down which I must say hurt him and caused him to be sloth-like when he rose while he regained his breath. Yet the reason Ali stayed down and took a bit of time to collect himself is because he hit his head on the way down. Still a great moment and fight.
