- The fight took place at the Las Vegas Convention Center before a crowd of 5,700.
Ali entered the ring wearing a jewel-studded robe bearing the inscription "People's Choice" on the back. It was a gift from Elvis Presley and cost around $3,000.
Ali was an 8 to 1 favorite and predicted a seventh-round KO.
Ali opened a cut over Bugner's left eye in the first round.
Bugner lost his next bout to Smokin' Joe Frazier, but he won his next eight fights and got a rematch with Ali for the World Heavyweight Championship in 1975.

Respects to Bugner. He went toe-to-toe with Ali. He gave gave it all he had. And he saw it to the end. Good man.

exactly . NO KO
I don't know how Bugner lasted that long, honestly. He looks out of his league here.
@@NuisanceMan Joe and Ali were friends he had lessons in late 60s how to box defence and use your jab from ali only thing Bugner lacked was agression a boxer died in amature against Bugner had he got a knock out punch but wouldnt use it watch bugner knock out Dunn in 1 round only time he was really mad.

One of my favourite Ali fights. He always went foreward in this fight, unusual for him, but great to watch.
What strikes me most when watching Ali was his patience and timing. A man with true composure and an almost mystical self-assuredness. He knew what to do and when to do it and would not be hurried nor deterred. And you can see this all through his career. The same man, even when his body gave out.
Totally amazing. This showcased it all.
You will never ever again see the class of Muhammad Ali. He used his head more than his fists to win fights. Add to that, his poetic capabilities, then you have a super human. Always entertaining, always the best
Plus the way every other fighter loved him and respected him. Norton, Foreman, many others considered Ali their best friend. Chuvalo, Lyle, Quarry, Shavers, Holmes, all of them speak about the impact Ali had on them as a boxer, person, friend, and human being.
@@PhilAndersonOutsideje suis as iyjh65
Thank you for that fight. The quality of that video was astounding, for the age of it, best I've ever seen! ☝️
1:31 fastest right hand I've ever seen a heavyweight throw. Ali could be REALLY fast if we wanted but he usually held back, patiently calmly boxing
The Golden Age of Boxing!! We’ll never see an era of boxing like this ever again
the boxe was nothing in 60 and 70
just sqtolen
bugner beat easy ali its a match stolen and racist
again marciano
marciaéno beat him easy
it was a joke
@@guillaumefrenkel6993 Are you serious?
@@guillaumefrenkel6993 did u even watched the fight
Haha worst era
The golden age of boxing was the days of Joe Lewis, Rocky Marciano and Jersey Joe Walcott not Ali's time 8n the ring.
Bugner could hang with just about anybody. I only saw him fight once in person in a second round TKO controversial loss to Ernie Shavers. But, he had skills and heart and may be among the most underrated heavyweights ever. Somehow, he reminded me of Mildenberger...always just good enough to be a top contender and give anybody a good fight, but always just a little short of being good enough to take the title.
He also could really dance .. best brit ever ... so underrated .
I remember something about him coming out of retirement in the 1990's, but honestly I cannot remember whether he won any of his return bouts. I think I only knew this about him, because he migrated to Australia to live.
Bugner and Norton are in a class of their own.
@@randallridnour8954
I believe when he returned in the 90s, he won the WBF and PABA heavyweight titles, and won his final match at nearly 50. Man had some serious skill even in his old age
Not in Ali's same class
Going 12 rounds with Ali would be bloody horrible. But having the legacy for the rest of your life of "I went 12 full rounds with Ali" - well that would be something special. Well done Aussie Joe.
People here in the UK are a lot more appreciative of Bugner’s ability in retrospect. But I am old enough to remember how scathing they were of him at the time. I think the reason was that people were initially excited at the prospect of a possible world champ, only to be disappointed and frustrated when we never quite managed it. He was solid fighter who often needed a good opponent to bring out his best.
I being in the minority did appreciate Bugner but the majority of others disliked him simply because he beat our 'enery and they never forgave him for that, Bugner knew that and I believe it was large part of why he emigrated to Oz as he was better appreciated there
Aussie Joe Bugner won the WBF heavy weight championship in 1998
VERY PERCEPTIVE AND well said. It used to sicken me with all the sh*t he had to put up with from the press and public, and that made me cheer him on more. At least it never SEEMED to affect him. Good luck, Joe.
Muhammad Ali will not be repeated
Ali’de bir boksörün sahip olması gereken tüm faktörler vardı,en hızlısıydı çok çok ağır Demir yumruk olmasada nakavt edecek kadar sağlamdı,çok iri cüsseli değildi ama optimum vucüt seviyelerinde idi…adamdı kraldı şampiyonlar şampiyonuydu❤️❤️❤️
He had a bit of Irish in him later on he cane yo county Clare to acknowledge his Irish telative s
@@jimmurray9032 That may account for the poet in him. 👍
Thank you very much, Team. Great fight I missed back in that day. I'm 71 now and followed Ali since the beginning on the radio in a tree house. Saw him in Atlanta with Quarry. This fight is as good as any and Joe showed himself to be a real champ. Bravo.
This is great to watch. Such colorful characters, Ali of course, Cosell, & Sammy Davis Jr right there in the ring after the fight ! Lol.
What makes Ali stand out to me is his discipline in speech as well as in the ring. He’s a class act as well as a showman. Those two traits don’t often go together.
Lol, Ali uses his punches to block, ‘you can swing at me but I’m going to hit you back, or swing at you first’.
Well at least. They looked like boxers them days. A bit of dancing good foot work. Not like the flat footers of today
And bricks of muscles and fat...
👏👏👏👏
Those boxers were real boxers, footwork, dancing heavy punchers. Modern heavyweight s are fat, no stamina, just there for the money.What a disgrace, if you were a teenager in the seventies you were fortunate to witness boxing history in the making. Ali and Bugner gave a good performance worth to watch. 10/10 for this fight.🏋️🥰
Ali was not clowning around cause Bugner aint no joke!
yeah you right ali said before the fight that he wasnt jiveing around tonight. thats black man talk for i am taking this serious.
Joe was a very good boxer. Muhammad was in very good condition for this fight. His right hand was quick as a lizard. He was the stalker, which he rarely did, like he did in this fight. Joe gave it his all,
but was in with the best....
@@Boots_on_the_ground
Yeah, just think, those guys must have hit allot harder than Foreman, Liston, or Shavers?
@@whoneverknow9588 Frazier? It was a different era, where size wasn't a decider in fights. There were no giant HW's and those who tried, couldn't fight a lick.
@@blite13 ali> todos os boxeadorws de hoje em dia
@@Boots_on_the_ground Ali was more graceful than any of those fighters you named. They couldn’t match Ali hand speed
czcams.com/video/9gNAfo_DPdc/video.html
Joe put up a spirited fight but unfortunately totally outclassed against thr master.
Bugner was no mug but not in Ali's class and I am sure he would agree. Still on his toes after 12 rounds with Ali, not many can claim that.
Bugner was a skilled, awkward fighter with a concrete chin. He showed a lot of guts and heart here going toe to toe with Ali. But Ali was just too good.
Loved the way when the fight was over Bugner went with Ali to congratulate him, and his corner pulled him away. Fighters knew Ali was the greatest, and Bugner was no exception.
Ali in his prime,so agile and quick. He is fun to watch coz he fights a clean fight
Just like sugar Ray Leonard they'll never be another Muhammad Ali
This was not his prime
it's easy to forget what a great fighter Bugner was in those days. Hats off to him against the greatest...
Former Cassius Clay changed his name to a false prophet who had black slaves and called them raisin heads! His parents named him after a White abolitionist who hated slavery! Someone should have educated him!
Ali is incredible. Everytime Bugner threw a jab Ali threw a counter right over it. Bugner was a really good fighter also
Greatest fighter of all time Ali 😊
Bugner was a good fighter but like Quarry and Cooper was prone to cuts. He just had no answer for that overhand right over his jab. Popped every time. Ali also totally changed his style. Note how quick he advances on Bugner and how low he stays. These were big departures from his normal style. Thats very creative and brilliant and incredible versatility. Massive boxing intelligence.
ali was the most intelligent boxer in history. very ring savy
@@trinihammer - Dale you may be right. He’s up there for sure with the smartest. Plans to adjust to different styles. Thats why I dont rank Frazier as high as many others do. He pretty much had one plan.
@@timothyduzenski1386 i agree with you 100%
A
I noticed how quick he changed his style
Well there was only one winner...the Greatest boxer ever...Ali.
Aussie Joe fought some of the best. His fight against Earnie Shavers was brutal. Respect.
Better performance than I expected from a young Joe Bugner against a resurgent Ali. Bugner took some beautiful combinations from Ali that would have put most people down. His head was constantly snapping back from Ali punches and it made me whince how many times Ali landed punches on that left eye cut! Good fight but only one winner by a long chalk despite the challengers heart.
Never saw Ali throw so damn many hard left hooks
man these guys could box! unbelievable how good they fight!
Joe Bugner and Henry Cooper were tough as teak, good boxers, good men. Ali, in a class of his own.
Muhammad Ali ❣️😇
Looks here Young Energetic 👊💪
Joe Bugner was way underrated and never got the recognition he deserved especially in the UK
he was a good solid pro. definitely better than henry cooper.
The old speed and reflexes are back for this fight. 1:31 the fastest right hand I think I've ever seen Ali throw. I would love to see this Ali vs. prime Holmes, the fight would've been extremely different
Agreed...unfortunately, as you point out, Holmes didn't fight the "real" Ali.....he fought a man who had stayed too long, and sadly had the beginnings of his Parkinsons......I firmly believe THIS Ali could have taken him.. I really wish Ali had retired for good after the Foreman fight in '74....at that point, he had nothing further to prove, and (maybe) he would have avoided his illness. (Granted, he'd already taken plenty of shots....but...who knows)
@@Tull1996 agreed, especially after the 3rd Frazier fight in '75. I watched the '80 fight vs Holmes again recently and Ali actually tagged him with some rights, and rolled with punches pretty good a couple of times. The straight right was an Ali weapon for years and Holmes was vulnerable to right hands, I think if Ali really lets his hands go he would decision Holmes. I see Holmes in pursuit and getting tagged on the way in. Ali did look wobbly even before the first bell, honestly he looked drunk ha. Of course he was a shot fighter long before '80 but if he wasn't messed up on those pills or whatever I think Ali would've won a few rounds. If I remember right he almost won the 7th round I think, he was moving and jabbing to the body but I think Holmes landed some shots towards the end of the round. I don't think Ali threw anything the last two rounds. My respect for Holmes went way up seeing him obviously holding back on Ali the last two rounds. He saw Ali wasn't firing back and a sitting duck, but no need to humiliate him by going all out, but just coast to an easy decision win. Sad seeing Bundini trying to keep Dundee from stopping it, I think he still had faith in Ali that he could pull out a miracle, probably in denial about Ali being shot as a fighter.
Ain't nobody had chance against prime Ali in boxing
Can i say a bad word? Today Joe Bugner would be world Champion. No more boxers like Alì and Joe was Brit and european Champion After all. Italian people knows Joe as the brawler and sometimes helping character in many italian movies of '70s and '80s. He Is alive and well
Hh
When Ali was Cassius Clay he was definitely unbeatable.
Muhammad Ali is the best boxer in history. Never the aggressor. Not with intention to kill in the ring. He comes in to participate in a sport and have a clean decent fight. He takes and he gives back. That's why he's the greatest champion ever!
What does that even mean? You write, "Not with intention to kill in the ring." Exactly how was Ali even capable of killing Bugner when he didn't have the Power. Ali hit Bugner with EVERYTHING he had and only managed to cut his eyebrow. Ali NEVER broke bones or knocked teeth out cause he was Low-Power!
@@Boots_on_the_ground .
@@Boots_on_the_ground lol
@@Boots_on_the_ground you’ve been slandering Ali on every video showing the chanp’s performance. For fucks sake he was a heavyweight boxer. How could he stun a prime joe Frazier and knockout a prime George foreman? How could he stumble Earnie Shavers? How could he knock down the brave Oscar Bonavena? How could he TKO the rough Jerry Quarry? Your claims are silly. Yes he didn’t have the power of a Tyson but he has the fastest hand speed to compensate and in fact alis power is underrated
@@johnnysmithington3749 His fast hands with absolutely no defense left him in LA LA LAND
that was close tho, wow i never seen Ali get pressured like that, great fight
Hi is the KING of boxing ❤️🙏🏼
Chin ,footwork ,timing, stamina , speed
That’s why Ali is the greatest of heavyweight division in the history
Not just the greatest heavyweight, but the greatest fighter of all time.
@@benjierodriguez6518 i think sugar ray robinson runs him close for greatest fighter of all time. however i think you are right ali edges it.
@@trinihammer You're absolutely right. Sugar Ray Robinson is right there with Ali. It's real close.
@@benjierodriguez6518 yeah, i think ali wins it by a nose.
@@trinihammer Yes, but we have to take into account the amount of fights that Robinson fought within a given time.
. He turned professional in 1940 at the age of 19 and by 1951 had a professional record of 128-1-2 with 84 knockouts. From 1943 to 1951 Robinson went on a 91-fight unbeaten streak, the third-longest in professional boxing history. Robinson held the world welterweight title from 1946 to 1951, and won the world middleweight title in the latter year. He was fighting 12 times a year, that's insane where a fighter today averages about 3 fights a year.
If we just go by the stats Robinson is the greatest, some historians have him as the greatest.
However, this is quantity vs quality. It's always a hard debate. Ali has been the greatest I've seen in my lifetime. "Poetry in motion" is my best description of him. He was just so unique in his boxing, his defense, tough chin, perfect body, mental toughness and game. He had the most impact in boxing. He was an amazing fighter.
It's a close one.
Mohamed Ali le plus grand de tous les boxeurs repose en paix dans le paradis de notre seigneur tout puissant le très haut et tout miséricordieux leur accorde son vaste paradis
Amin
9:01 what a line up ANGELO DUNDEE, HOWARD COSELL, SAMMY DAVIS JR, MUHAMMED ALI. may they all RIP.
Thanks
When I was young, people laughed at the ageing Bugner. Surprised he was as good as this in his day. Ali actually looked a bit rattled early on. I read that Ali when promoting the Bugner fight said, “he’s got the right complexion, and the right connection”.
Aussie Joe won the WBF heavyweight championship in 1998 at the age of 48 against James "Bonecrusher" Smith. He was loved by all Australians.
@kenchristie9214 He won the Australian heavyweight championship also, I heard, back in the day.
Mohamed Ali est un boxeur honorable et respectable
Joe Bugner was no joke! He gave Smokin' Joe all he could handle!
Right on
Cool
Blimey, Ali was really up for this one.
Didn't he not like Bugner?
Bugner was a tough guy though and had some skills but Ali had to let him know who's boss.
You have never boxed anyone like me and you never will again Joe !!!
It may just be the editing but you get the feeling it angered Ali that Bugner had the audacity to come at him hard in the opening round - it is like Ali quickly goes into 'ok, if that is how you want to play it' mode.
The more I see re-runs of Ali's fights, the more I realise the man could (and would) take a direct and very hard punch if it meant he could then land a couple of his own, or that he even just kept taking them to annoy and tire his opponent, not just as he did quite brilliantly against Foreman.
Alas, while he took the short term plaudits and praise, it does seem taking those hits cost him dearly later.
I met Aussie Joe when I worked at a 5 star hotel in Perth Australia. I asked him how to pronounce his surname and he replied that it was Boogneeair but people who new him called him Joe Bugger
Great boxer and a great guy.
Great Story. Greetings from Berlin 👍🥊❤️
Amazing how fast Ali worked Joe out after the first round and went for him - full credit to Joe!
Ali didnt take him lightly. Great fight and great sportsmanship by both fighters
What a hard man Bugner was 🇬🇧👍
ALI REALLY HAS SUPER-SKILLS, SUPER-POWER and SUPER-SPEED !!!!!
Bugner was as good as the best
Punching bags Ali
Could get
Into the ring
Has anyone noticed that the fighters from this era rarely go for the body strange but true
No cinemas just boxing !
Anybody that stood up for 12 rounds with Ali is in a special club.
Wish Ali would've always fought like this, in shape, lots of punching, etc, a couple of years later he started coming in heavier and playing around, barely winning fights he could've won much easier if serious.
it's what happens when you get older and have been in many wars in the ring. One loses the desire to train, it happens to them all. Ali got a lot of favorable decisions in his later years because he made the money for everyone. If they would have made Ali lose, when he actually lost, maybe he wouldn't have fought all those fights late in his career when he was showing the signs of disease already. But, they kept pushing him out there, it's a very cruel business.
@@blite13 I don't think anyone was making Ali doing anything against his own will, I think he wanted to keep the glory and all the big paydays
@@youtoo2233 By that time, Ali wasn't thinking straight and he needed someone who CARED to make it stop. Angelo sure looks bad now, taking the money that destroyed Ali. Dr Ferdie told Ali to quit after Frazier 3. They told Ferdie to shut up and go away. Ali had to keep the money coming in because his 'management team NOI, had ran him dry. They used Ali up and he was destroyed when it was all said and done. Boxing is a horrible business, just ask Don King.
@@blite13 yeah after the Shavers fight in '77 Dr. Pacheco left. Ali definitely should've stayed retired after the second Spinks fight in '78, Ali had no business being in the ring those last two fights in '80 and '81. Glad at least Ali threw punches on a regular basis in the Berbick fight. Berbick showed no skills but Ali was not even a shell of his younger self. In the Holmes fight Ali looked drunk before the fight even started, kind of crazy eyes too, the thyroid meds made the shop worn Ali even worse.
@@youtoo2233 There is film of Ali at his cabin where he used to train, getting ready for the Holmes fight. Ali's speech was not good then and he looked terrible in sparring. But they wanted the money.....for the love of money is the root of all evil.
Ali's superior skills make a chump out of Bugner.
Le grand le plus grand boxeur de les temps avait une admiration absolut et admirai elvis presley . Elvis offrira a ali un manteau avec parure comme ces jumpsuits pour son arrivé sur le ring . Il existe des photos ou l ont voit reunis . Elvis et ali des monuments éternels dans nos mémoires et universels.
الله يرحم روحك الملاكم النبيل الأسطورة محمدعلي كلاي
The British public never forgave Bugner for ending Henry Coopers career. Fair play to him, he never shirked an opponent and went in with some of the best and biggest. 👍
GREAT FIGHT
That was one of the closets fights against Ali I've ever seen and I never even heard of that guy! He stung Ali several times in the first round which made Ali forget all about clowning around all fight like usual lol I'm impressed
Both great boxers ...however ALI was just GREAT when he moved fast and was determined....great boxing match!!!!!
Bugner was not bad at all. Great heart.
It was something to see Ali chasing a fighter around the ring for the whole bout. No dancing around in circles. It reminds of how other fighters always tried to do that to him. I enjoyed this clip of Ali doing the chasing. He was in great shape and it showed. Bunger was a very good fighter but not on Ali' s level
This fight much better than their second. Lots of action. They didn't do much in the second in comparison
Great Fight Bugner was very good
Ali was intelligent, adaptable and FAST. That is the only reason Bugner lost because Joe gave it his best 👍🏻
TOTAL BOMB FIGHTERS,they both had tons of respect for each other that's why I LOVE THE OLD SCHOOL BOXERS, they never killed each other it was a sport now everyone wants to kill
I wached this fight on Ptv through setlite
Man, Ali was throwing bombs! It always amazed me he very rarely ever threw body shots..sometimes hard puches to the chest. Still damn fast at this point of his career.
yes he rarely threw body punch, I noticed that too.
He used to throw jabs to the body to set up the right hand and left hooks
Watching these old videos just shows you how good Ali was. Joe was also something special, In fact Ali said he was his third hardest fight ever...
I've never heard Ali say that.
He said it on Facebook lol
@@simonodell2103 On Facebook...?
Even if Ali did say it, he probably didn't mean it.
Ali would trash talk tough opponents and would build up lesser fighters.
He did the same with Richard Dunn.
After knocking him down five times in as many rounds, Ali said Dunn had been a real contender...
@@ppuh6tfrz646 it's called humour !
@@simonodell2103 Humour is supposed to be funny, mate.
Ali - hunting. Joe was good. Hell of a fight.
You will never see the likes of Muhammad Ali again what a beautiful individual he actually was. Follow his footsteps and you can't go wrong.
Joe was a very strong and fast fighter....had the fundamentals...but lacked balance and precision...pretty good chin considering some of the Titans he fought....I think he needed a better trainer that could have honed his strengths and corrected his weaknesses
Float like a bee, sting like a butterfly.
you got it back to front its FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY STING LIKE A BEE, THE GREAT SMELL OF BRUT AND THE PUNCH OF ALI.
Good fight

Nice to See Sammy Davis Jr. at the End
Joe did great he went the distance with Ali not many can say that gave a great account of himself no shame he was fighting a great champion
That's true
Although Muhammad Ali won the fight you could tell that he was frustrated that he didn't knock out his opponent. Joe Bugner turned out to be one tough customer. Good Fight between both boxers.
Bugner was a good fighter. No shame in not knocking him out

Gotta hand it to Bugner.... and Ali did exactly that.
Ali the Greatest 😍
Bugner was a very good boxer, would've given a lot of heavyweights today a hard time. Ali was up for this one though, on a different level to Bugner here.
yeah i agree bugner was a very good boxer but unfortunately for him ali was on another level.
@@trinihammer JOE did much better going forward .
@@ronmailloux8655 yeah you are right, lets take nothing away from bugner, he went the distance twice with ali that was no mean feat. if i remember correctly i am quite sure ali talked quite highly of bugner. knowing how anti white ali could be that is saying something. incidently i saw bugner give an interview he looks pretty good has all his mental faculties about him and lives in austrailia now.
@@trinihammer Very true. Bugner was double tough and that mop of hair made every punch look worse. But he had size but lost the killer instinct after almost killing another fighter in London . This effected him in a way hard to calculate unless you re a prize fighter. Could he have beaten Ali no but he clearly lost something along the way.
@@ronmailloux8655 i dont think he could have beaten ali. but i think bugner could have beaten both tyson fury and anthony josua without a doubt. bugner's only fault is he became a boxer at the wrong time. if bugner was boxing now he would easily be heavyweight champion of the world now. however when bugner was boxing to beat the likes of ali,frazier,foreman,norton and holmes was a big ask.
Joe put his hand around Ali at the end....because he thought he won or he was a fan? 🐱
bugner was a fan of ali. even today doesnt have a bad word to say about ali. he lives in austrailia now.
All respect to Bugner
Bug er was way outclassed. All I know about boxing is never bet on the white guy.
Hey remember when the heavyweight division wasn't a bunch of giant oafs
Bugner held his own with Ali!🥊
Muhammed Ali 🥊
Simply the best 💫✨🥇🏆
Ali = inteligencia..
Bugner would beat most of today's boxers and he was nothing special in those days.
bugner would beat tyson fury easily.
He got me badly when he said BURGNERS EYE IS A BLOODY MESS
