A disgusting fight that should never have been. Larry Holmes should never have accepted to fight a past his best, retired Ali. This fight made no difference at all. Ali in his Prime would have still beaten Holmes, simple
I didn't like Larry before this fight, But hated him even more, He was nothing but a soar losser & nothing has changed over the years, When Tyson ki** his ass i was like🙂
Ali was simply way past his prime to compete with Holmes. He should've just retired from boxing for good after defeating Leon Spinks for the heavyweight championship title. He was already a 3-time heavyweight boxing champion.
At the time people thought Ali had a chance. Holmes said he didn't try to hit him hard but the way he was fighting suggest to me that Larry even thought Ali was still dangerous.
Just awful for both fighters, Larry should of only focused on the body towards the end. He said he wasn't hitting that hard by that point but he was and although i feel for him because of the circumstances he found himself in with Ali he was still hitting too vicious.
Ali was my boyhood idol. I was 20 when this fight took place, and my heart was broken that night. I knew in my head Ali couldn't beat Holmes at that point, but my heart was still hopeful. This was the saddest night in the history of boxing IMO.
Mohd Ali was already there He’s doctors n managers shouldn’t allow that fight to happen coz he was in medication Larry shifty m f new the conditions of Ali n took fully advantage of it dog of a man People like him go high quick goes down even quicker Larry dog of a man simple
Eu era criança quando ví o mais covarde de todos que usava o artificio das cordas para dizer ser o melhor de todos, Parabéns Larry Holmes, vc foi o melhor. Ali (o covarde) preferiu entregar a luta por nocaute técnico ao invés de aceitar uma derrota por um golpe q todos iriam ver sua queda no tablado.

This fight still hurts ny soul 44 years later😥😥😥😥
Dundee didn't care much against frazier
The sound of Holmes's punches was very brutal😢😢 maan
It was a 8 yr difference compared to Larry’s highly unfair fight with a 17 yr junior
Why Muhammad Ali didn't beat Larry Holmes
Parkinson disease had been affecting him obviously
That ref had money on Ali. Guaranteed
Larry mocking so bad

Essa luta me deixou sem palavras😔😭
Tyson avenged him and fucked Holmes up
I’m glad Mike knocked him out
Mike Tyson revenged Ali's loss and did an excellent job

Even though nothing left inside of Ali in the name of boxing, in opening round he evaded Holmes's punches deftly
Larry Holmes didn’t see Mike Tyson coming.

Таких друзей как холмс иметь и враги не нужны будут
A very sad spectacle.
Ali the clown got a good beating this time…
the most hated👎🏻 & 💔 video clip on YouTube for me, i don't know why🥺…
I love the way Howard Cossell used to call them. He could capture the drama of the competition. An all time great.

Then later Mike Tyson told larry to have respect for Ali in the form of a ko

Now that was real even though Holmes felt bad for pounding Ali . Compare this to the faked and rigged fight with Tyson and Jake paul.
No accountability for the incompetent ref who allowed the abuse to continue way longer than what was necessary.
He shoulda stopped it a long time ago.
Ele não tinha que ter feito essa luta. Ainda deu sorte de não ter se machucado mais ainda.
Ali fought while suffering from Parkinson's.
This man Larry has 69 wins and 6 losses
Ali has 56 wins and 5 losses .. Larry was a legend but his style doesn't attractive the media
Mike Tyson revenged this fight
Am glad Tyson exacted revenge
Sickening this was an abomination.
Jjjjr
You can hear how much Howard loved him.
Ha Ha Ha
Ali has never been knocked out through out his entire career

Mohd Ali was already there
He’s doctors n managers shouldn’t allow that fight to happen coz he was in medication
Larry shifty m f new the conditions of Ali n took fully advantage of it dog of a man
People like him go high quick goes down even quicker
Larry dog of a man simple

Overrated
This has to be stopped 😢
Pelea que nunca debió sancionarse, uno de los luchadores estaba enfermo
Larry tore Ali a.. up! That's alright because Tyson avenged Ali about eight years later!!
Ali cowering after a Holmes barrage of punches was without a doubt the saddest thing I've ever seen in sports
No one ever thought they would see Ali like this.
