I Was A 21 Year Old Marine At The Time. I Was In Japan For Training In Gotemba. Several Of Us In Our Battery (Artillery) Went To The Famous Budokan In Tokyo To Watch The Fight In Person. It Was One Of Several Ali Fights I Attended In Person, Stretching Back To The 60’s 70’s & 1980. I Saw Ali Fight Live In The Three Different Decades Of His Career. I Am An Old Man Now When Ali Died Watching The News Of His Passing. With My Wife And Children, I Didn’t Say Anything, I Went Upstairs To My Room And Cried.

All the boxers I liked Ali.. he is honest to the fight..for me it's my Idol.. handsome Ali..even however many year's ago I still watching his fight. Really removed my homesickness. Everytime i see the fight. So idol Ali wherever you are you still my favourite. Happy in heaven.. 😔🤲👌💯🎉ofw Qatar still watching your videos...
Ali is without a shadow of a doubt not only the greatest sports person ever, but a God gifted human who was a pioneer as a humanitarian . He engineered and adapted to all styles of his opponents in the ring and yet, outside he bought love, harmony, and peace throughout the world. The best human born in this century . With a heart bigger than this world. RIP, May Allah keep you in the very best of places
Ali was arguably the toughest & gutsiest heavyweight who ever lived.....He fought Liston, Frazier, & Foreman, when they were in their primes. He didn't wait for them to age or get knocked out by somebody else before he fought them, or punk out the fight, or insist on ridiculous terms & conditions for the fight to take place. And of course he struggled on occasion - that's what happens when you fight the best available competition, when they're at their best, instead of looking for the easiest possible opponents the way they do today. Whenever somebody made a name for himself, Ali gave him a chance for a fight & ducked no one - I mean no one. How many guys can we say that about today? A few, but not many. Greatness is all about the journey, not the ending. Other fighters probably had better defense, or punched harder, but nobody competed harder than this guy. R.I.P. Champ.
Quo Tanzient you really dont deserve a dignified response cus you are obviously a troll, to call ali a dirty cheater only shows how incredibly subjective you are, you are just an idiot and a waste of time.
Muhammad Ali Many thanks for uploading this very enjoyable fight in full- Ali too classy for Foster. Foster going downhill from the 11th round onwards-Ali just had to see the fight out in the last rounds. Thanks again and very well done-Kind regards Tom
I was just admitted to a senior high school in Japan on April 1st, 1972 when this bout was broadcast. Though this was not the world title match, many Japanese people were thrilled with charismatic Muhammad Ali.
Alj was a very tough and wise boxer he knows how to play his opponent he is a lot t Pchnique and tactical moves i knows he is a one to gives a highes ntrated
So much history was made in this fight. Rest easy to the both of you great legends! The first fight ever to be televised from japan or even the far east. The first time ever for (Mack the attack Foster) to go the full 15 rounds with anyone hence that he knoccd out his opponents in any round from 1 to 7,.....foster was 30-1 or 31-1 WITH 30 KOs....... historical....a fresno native, foster was.......alot of talk about ali and much respect to him but YOU CANT FORGET ABOUT MACK "ATTACK" FOSTER WHO WAS A BIG PART OF THE BOXING LEGENDARY HISTORY. GOTTA GIVE FOSTER HIS PROPS TOO....REST EASY TO BOTH OF YALL
Ali was a reminder that boxing is actually a sport , which had art and science to it, not just wanton violence like UFC type fights....his ability to go 15 rounds while dictating the pace all the time was amazing.
Ali's jab was just so unique, and so devastating!..... Almost every fighter who faced Ali just got their nut jabbed off of them.....Mac Foster included....... Genius fight IQ and gameplay, from start to finish..... Just dragged him into deep water and drowned him....... RIP Champ.
one of the many amazing things about Ali is not just that he was probably the most accurate head puncher ever, but that he was without EVER going to the body, i.e., his opponents knew where the punches were coming but it didn't make a difference.
My dad watch ali when u was a little girl I guess him talk about him and watch his fights just really hurd about him then I seen him fight now I know what he was talking about he was not only a great fighter but he was great looking and 1 more thing an great father
Uncle Tony / Nice try but you obviously have not seen many of Ali’s flights. He went to the stomach area many times in order to get a fighter to drop his hands and then get him with the right cross or left hook! But when you capitalize the word, “EVER” that Ali never went to his opponents body “EVER” then you are completely in error. Hey sell that snake oil to your grandkids but don’t try to push that on these websites where people watch these boxing videos and know the career and history of Muhammad Ali.
M.H. Nude, there are dozens and dozens of Ali fights here on the youtube, with hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of rounds and thousands and thousands of punches. Please link a vid (and include time and round) where Ali throws a body shot. Of course you and I know that you WON'T, because you probably don't have hours to spare this fine Sunday, and you also probably know that you WON'T be able to find one. Cheers :D
The beauty of Ali is that he could've finished off Foster much, much sooner. Ali was a sportsman. He could've hurt Foster bad, knocked him out, owned him. However, Ali knew to take care of his opponents that couldn't stand up to him. He would wave the ref over to end the fight. He would allow his opponent to get a few shots in. He was a MASTER BOXER. He let these men live to tell the story of how they fought "the GREATEST". This is what made Ali the greatest. He let the men he fought live to tell a story. Beautiful. He is the greatest man ever...
Was it really? Didn't know that. Idk if it makes any difference what country you're in. I'm in Thailand and I cant find Ali vs Dunn. Only like 5 min "best of"... 🤔
Clever is what he was,when he was younger he used his speed , as he slowed with age he rope adopted tire out younger goes and at the end of his career he pumped up average opponents to make himself look better (I think he lost to Leon just so he could come back and win the title for the third time and continuesly brag about it
That's why his brain was mush. He couldn't punch hard enough to end the fight and too enomrous punishment and only won a lot of fights was because he brought the money in. At least 5 guys took a dive for him over the years and others lost because their lives were threatened by his handlers.
@@davebryant8050 you been smoking too much crack, I wonder who took a dive for him? Maybe Ellis, Coopman. The fighter taking a dive has a good chance of winning or upsetting the champion or contender. Name someone, please?
The commentator said after this fight Ali fights Chuvalo next month in May and then Quarry in June. WOW! He was the most active heavyweight by far. mayweather and manny barely fight twice a year and they're small WELTERWEGHTS! Ali was the James Brown of Boxing....hardest working man in the game….and the G.O.A.T!
WZ912 In 1941, Joe Louis defended his title 7 times in 9 months. If you count his December 1940 defense against Al McCoy, he defended his title 8 times in 10 months. 7 kayos and a DQ where his thrice-floored 237 lb opponent claimed he was hit after the bell. PS....In a rematch, Louis kayoed his opponent, Buddy Baer, in 2:56....and donated his whole purse to the Navy Relief Fund.
Saludos amigos. El Sr. ALI fue un gran atleta que lo educaron para estos eventos y parece que usaba mucho la psicología que de manera muy intelectual estudiaba a sus oponente casi he visto todas sus pelea y me Di cuenta de su manera como va midiendo a sus oponente y después cuando ya tenía su rival en sus alcance acababa con ellos ,muy poco hoy lo hacen.....Felicidades!!!!
The commentator for this fight was very good. One of the best calls for otherwise a relatively dull match. I'm sure the Time, the distance of travel play a role in this lackluster fight.
Honestly I felt that the commentator was a fan of Ali. Foster was fighting someone a little out of his league and was in it. Give credit where it's due.
Sometimes inexperienced or awkward fighters make you look bad I’ll give Ali this he stayed active and let virtually unknowns have a chance of the big prize.
Agreed. Ali was fighting 15 round fights in non- title bouts. When he came back against Quarry in 1970- that was a 15 rounder. The same against Bonavena, Those fights could have been 10 or 12 rounders. Several times in this fight - Ali had Foster in trouble. It looked like he was working on his conditioning- and getting his legs back. Remember- he fought the 2nd Chuvalo and Quarry fights, back to back, not long after this fight.
The more I watch Ali the more I sense a compastion he had for his opponents at times. He was a loving person that would hurt someone more than he had to.
Couldn't agree more. I forget which round it was but Foster looked like he was done, dazed, and about to fall. Ali was pounding him. Then all the sudden Ali eased up and let Foster back in the fight. Announcer said he may have gotten exhausted for a second, but I saw in Ali compassion at that moment.
I scored this today at 9 Ali - 2 Foster - 4 Even. I was a little drowsy watching this, I watched the first five rounds last night and had it 3-1-1 for Ali. There was no doubt here, as Ali might have coasted a little - but he scored at will and the decision was never in doubt. (73-66 Ali).
David J.smith yep def was, not sure if he was the same weight class as Ali though, probably fought light heavyweight then challenged for a heavyweight title here
Perhaps the reason it comes across like a sparring match is because they fought in Japan and the crowd doesn't really make a lot of noise like in other countries so there's no atmosphere.
This wasn’t a “GOAT” performance… He has all he could do to get it done against a guy that has journeyman ability. Ali took a lot of punishment in this fight. He’s supposed to run through a fighter of this caliber like Quarry did. It’s a fable that Ali’s speed and boxing ability garnered him easy wins where he did absorb punishment. These fights took a lot out of him.
Ali sure made his matches entertaining. Think he enjoyed making these one sided matches into sparring matches or training for Ali. You can see that Ali let’s foster pound Ali to the body.
I remember saw this match in direct tv in italy transmitted. Now i understand very very well, and i can say that Alì was not a boxer, as here it's demonstrated. Sorry, but you as here many people doesn't understand nothing. Alì was only a dancer in a ballet ruscka! He won about his jab more long (for him the direct ko was a dream... never won for direct ko, but at last of any match for weariness of his opponent, about many jab punches got.). The box of Alì is out standard and incorrect in any second of the match. He use sent a punch, and after take his opponent by the head pushing down, so to avoid any reaction. In any match Alì used so doing almost 100 times.. Obvious, do it because he was always more high). Obvious, instead in this match he used do as did Foreman, having here to fight a weak and more little opponent. In a virtual mach with Butterbeen, after 10 seconds Alì would been dreaming by ko. Here the opponent of Alì didn't let to operate with the jab, about the distance not fit for this play. OK.. i teacher you... it seems that you even don't see. Anytime Alì use is left hand to adjust his opponent at right distance for better have the target... this is uncorrect. The only resource of Alì was his resistence to got the punches, and it was his tactis to do get tired his opponent (it seems you never saw a match of Alì... He used put himself to the corner ring, saying to the component to punch him. The are the images of the match Liston-Moore? he used tell out by ring that his tactics would been not to punch the opponent, by protect himself letting to the opponent to punch him... he even simulated it, doing a skit for propaganda, saying he would win on Liston in the next match with him... as it effectively happen). Differently by the other boxer Alì used his intelligence in tactics, more than the punches... but i thing just for this his tactics to receive punches and have so hard courage, at last it caused his deadly ill. However Alì represented the gold era of the Box...Honour to him, about all great heroic athlete, more than boxer, think !
Mac Foster was a natural light heavyweight, had there been a Cruiserweight division during his time, he would have fit in. It was interesting a much bigger Ali went right after him. Foster tagged him with that famous left hook he had, but Ali was too big and too strong. I think Foster was shocked at how fast this guy could be sometimes. I also think he got a little sad when he hit Ali with body punches that would have dropped almost anyone, yet Ali laughed them off. Foster realized he's in the ring with a big, tough, fast man. It was only a matter of time before Ali dismantled Foster.
@@xxcrump3575 bro im fr just look at some sparring sessions of klitschko. Klitschko looks much more robotic and stiff tho. But its the classic armateur style. Jumping in and out, jab, jab, left hook and the right hand.
"MOHAMMED ALI" "GREATEST OF ALL TIME" THE NAME "WAS" "IS" "WILL" "BE" MENTIONED. LIKE A WORLD WIND ECHOING THROUGH TIME. THIS MAN WAS A BOXING INSER TUTION ITSELF.

La elegancia con la que bailaba lo hacía ver de una gran clase Ali pelea va y dejaba pelear era pura elegancias Ali era de otro planeta por eso fue el más grande entre los grandes Foreman pegaba muy duro pero era para fuerza salvaje solo Ali se lo ganó en las cuerdas dios lo tenga en el cielo paz a sus restos bendiciones atodos
This was the period in his career where he said he didn't want to knock guys out. It was because he just came back from exile and the Supreme Court rendered an unamious decision in overturning his conviction for refusal into the Military on the grounds that Ali was a "Muslim Minister". Later, after the Buster Mathis fight when he was criticized for NOT knocking Buster out when Mathis was ready to go, Ali said he didn't want to KO people just please the crowd, but that he would Knock guys out from then on because of the criticism.
The Spy in the later rounds he often lightly taps Foster on the forehead - it looks like he wanted a 15 round workout - he weighed 226 and his waist is thick - he’s already preparing for the Frazier 2 war to come.
I think he only wanted to get joe Frazier back into the ring and win back the title. These fights were only to stay active. Too bad Frazier lost the title before they fought again because of the politics involved in the business of boxing. After their fight at MSG,a rematch should have been made within at least a year, maybe 18 months.
thank you. by this day and age, this fact is clearly forgotten. he even did an interview with howard cosell and Cosell attempted to roast him saying he's not in shape and he doesnt have the ko power. Ali refuted by saying I dont understand the problem, I win all my fights with very little damage in the shape im in... if I was IN shape it would be a murder wouldn"t it? I never forgot that interview hahaha. All this to say, Ali picked and chose who to knock out for the most part, when it was a formidable opponent like Norton, Frazier, Foreman you can see he threw his punches with bad intentions.
Makes me wonder how Mac would have fared against another Foster, Bob Foster.. another great light heavy weight. As far as I know, they never fought each other even though their timeline overlapped.

Sometimes inexperienced or awkward fighters make you look bad I’ll give Ali this he stayed active and let virtually unknowns have a chance of the big prize.
The greatast of all fighters your a legion may you be with your maker
Ali clearly carried him and used this fight as a workout.
U r so smart.
Agreed. Ali was fighting 15 round fights in non- title bouts. When he came back against Quarry in 1970- that was a 15 rounder. The same against Bonavena, Those fights could have been 10 or 12 rounders. Several times in this fight - Ali had Foster in trouble. It looked like he was working on his conditioning- and getting his legs back. Remember- he fought the 2nd Chuvalo and Quarry fights, back to back, not long after this fight.

The more I watch Ali the more I sense a compastion he had for his opponents at times. He was a loving person that would hurt someone more than he had to.

Couldn't agree more. I forget which round it was but Foster looked like he was done, dazed, and about to fall. Ali was pounding him. Then all the sudden Ali eased up and let Foster back in the fight. Announcer said he may have gotten exhausted for a second, but I saw in Ali compassion at that moment.
They took 3 years or his best years away from him Muhammad Ali one of the greatest fighters ever

Yea, isn't it sad?!. Almost 4 years. I wonder who he would have fought during these 3-4 years
@@heavymeddle28 it does not matter that they took 3 years of him in his prime he was too thin but than against frazier he was in a good shape
My preferred hero Mohamed Ali
It takes two to tango. Incredible sportmanship by both.

Great match🍿 Foster came to fight 🥊 70's - 90's 🏆

What was that trophy?
Incredible boxer
. Tough fight
I scored this today at 9 Ali - 2 Foster - 4 Even. I was a little drowsy watching this, I watched the first five rounds last night and had it 3-1-1 for Ali. There was no doubt here, as Ali might have coasted a little - but he scored at will and the decision was never in doubt. (73-66 Ali).
O pH OK
Ali the best of all times
Ali da uma aula de boxe! Ele foi o único pugilista que nocauteou Jorge Foreman
Only the greatest could fight till the end of rounds and won it.
Agree...
Ali clearly knew this man could not punch hard enough to cause any damage. It resembles a sparring match.
Agreed. But from memory, Mac Foster had a very high KO ratio.
David J.smith in fact, every fight Foster won was a KO
@@mmastiff734 thank's Martin !
Sounds like he was a great contender back then.
David J.smith yep def was, not sure if he was the same weight class as Ali though, probably fought light heavyweight then challenged for a heavyweight title here
Perhaps the reason it comes across like a sparring match is because they fought in Japan and the crowd doesn't really make a lot of noise like in other countries so there's no atmosphere.
Mohammad Ali is the Legendary Of Boxing. I waa born in Mei 1972
Rip Ali for your the goat
What about the other guy
THE GOAT IN ANY CLASS!
This wasn’t a “GOAT” performance…
He has all he could do to get it done against a guy that has journeyman ability. Ali took a lot of punishment in this fight. He’s supposed to run through a fighter of this caliber like Quarry did. It’s a fable that Ali’s speed and boxing ability garnered him easy wins where he did absorb punishment. These fights took a lot out of him.
Ali sure made his matches entertaining. Think he enjoyed making these one sided matches into sparring matches or training for Ali. You can see that Ali let’s foster pound Ali to the body.
Muhammad Ali "The Greatest of All Time"!
yes! his Greatest

After Ali there wasn't another fighter that threw so little body shots again until Vladimir Klitschko.

Ive seen sparring videos of Ali throwing well placed bodyshots with excellent form. For some reason he never did it in fights idk why.
Paper champion
Quit against Chris Bird
Mac Foster didn't do much this fight. Ali was able to simply box in his usual manner and win every round.
@Lucas Lucas Than he probably fought you since your the biggest bum out there.

I remember saw this match in direct tv in italy transmitted. Now i understand very very well, and i can say that Alì was not a boxer, as here it's demonstrated. Sorry, but you as here many people doesn't understand nothing.
Alì was only a dancer in a ballet ruscka!
He won about his jab more long (for him the direct ko was a dream... never won for direct ko, but at last of any match for weariness of his opponent, about many jab punches got.).
The box of Alì is out standard and incorrect in any second of the match. He use sent a punch, and after take his opponent by the head pushing down, so to avoid any reaction. In any match Alì used so doing almost 100 times.. Obvious, do it because he was always more high).
Obvious, instead in this match he used do as did Foreman, having here to fight a weak and more little opponent.
In a virtual mach with Butterbeen, after 10 seconds Alì would been dreaming by ko. Here the opponent of Alì didn't let to operate with the jab, about the distance not fit for this play.
OK.. i teacher you... it seems that you even don't see. Anytime Alì use is left hand to adjust his opponent at right distance for better have the target... this is uncorrect.
The only resource of Alì was his resistence to got the punches, and it was his tactis to do get tired his opponent (it seems you never saw a match of Alì... He used put himself to the corner ring, saying to the component to punch him. The are the images of the match Liston-Moore? he used tell out by ring that his tactics would been not to punch the opponent, by protect himself letting to the opponent to punch him... he even simulated it, doing a skit for propaganda, saying he would win on Liston in the next match with him... as it effectively happen).
Differently by the other boxer Alì used his intelligence in tactics, more than the punches... but i thing just for this his tactics to receive punches and have so hard courage, at last it caused his deadly ill. However Alì represented the gold era of the Box...Honour to him, about all great heroic athlete, more than boxer, think !
Fought the best in their prime,great character,fun personality ,charismatic ,entertaining and fun the greatest enough said,

Who?
Mac Foster was a natural light heavyweight, had there been a Cruiserweight division during his time, he would have fit in. It was interesting a much bigger Ali went right after him. Foster tagged him with that famous left hook he had, but Ali was too big and too strong. I think Foster was shocked at how fast this guy could be sometimes. I also think he got a little sad when he hit Ali with body punches that would have dropped almost anyone, yet Ali laughed them off. Foster realized he's in the ring with a big, tough, fast man. It was only a matter of time before Ali dismantled Foster.

He fought so much like wladimir klitschko in this fight. That classic Armateur in and out style.
Wladimir Klitschko🤣 Are you crazy on drugs or both?
@@xxcrump3575 bro im fr just look at some sparring sessions of klitschko. Klitschko looks much more robotic and stiff tho. But its the classic armateur style. Jumping in and out, jab, jab, left hook and the right hand.
30 ko victories, all. but in succession and 29 combat missions. He doesn't eat much and he doesn't muck around.

GREAT MUHAMMAD ALI, HE REALLY WAS AN UNUSUAL AND GREAT FIGHTER
A
Oh!! This is where the Beatles performed on the Round stage and had a little trouble rotating the stage by One Quarter turn now and then.
The comments here in the section speak for the greatest athlete of all time themselves ....The great champ, the great human being...Mohammad Ali...
This was the period in his career where he said he didn't want to knock guys out. It was because he just came back from exile and the Supreme Court rendered an unamious decision in overturning his conviction for refusal into the Military on the grounds that Ali was a "Muslim Minister". Later, after the Buster Mathis fight when he was criticized for NOT knocking Buster out when Mathis was ready to go, Ali said he didn't want to KO people just please the crowd, but that he would Knock guys out from then on because of the criticism.
The Spy in the later rounds he often lightly taps Foster on the forehead - it looks like he wanted a 15 round workout - he weighed 226 and his waist is thick - he’s already preparing for the Frazier 2 war to come.
I think he only wanted to get joe Frazier back into the ring and win back the title. These fights were only to stay active. Too bad Frazier lost the title before they fought again because of the politics involved in the business of boxing. After their fight at MSG,a rematch should have been made within at least a year, maybe 18 months.
Yes I saw that fight a couple of years ago on You Tube. Ali was not happy after the fight and let everyone now it.
thank you. by this day and age, this fact is clearly forgotten. he even did an interview with howard cosell and Cosell attempted to roast him saying he's not in shape and he doesnt have the ko power. Ali refuted by saying I dont understand the problem, I win all my fights with very little damage in the shape im in... if I was IN shape it would be a murder wouldn"t it? I never forgot that interview hahaha. All this to say, Ali picked and chose who to knock out for the most part, when it was a formidable opponent like Norton, Frazier, Foreman you can see he threw his punches with bad intentions.
In a robotic voice: "That punch just raised Ali's face."
EbonyPope ziiiyyhjstunlrk
"grazed".
Ali was out of prime condition which became more and more of an issue as he aged.
This fight sucked balls.
Makes me wonder how Mac would have fared against another Foster, Bob Foster.. another great light heavy weight. As far as I know, they never fought each other even though their timeline overlapped.
