I never heard of Bugner before. This guy was definitely bugging Ali because he was taller than Ali and had a reach like Ali. This is not what Ali was used to. He was used to brawlers coming at him with shorter reaches than him. And he would just keep them away by jabbing them and dancing around them in circles. This would generally work out for Ali. This guy Bugner was a tougher nut to crack. Ali had to adjust his style to beat him. Interesting fight! Thanks to whoever uploaded it and to CZcams for letting me see it. 👏🏻
@@greggiddens6680 Nope! Ali apparently adjusted his fighting style to deal with this big fighter. He usually did the stick and run which worked out well for him. He ‘d keep jabbing and dancing around the ring and sometimes counterpunch but generally avoid getting flat footed and toe to toe with anyone too long. That was not good for him as Joe Frazier showed. This Bugner fight was no joke! Ali had two really tough fights with Ken Norton that some people say Norton won even! I can see their point because Norton kept punching away at Ali and Ali never could knock him out and down completely. I don’t recall if he did or not because Norton was just too tough and had an iron jaw apparently. These are not the guys you want to fight if you can avoid them! Norton may have even knocked down Ali from what I remember once or twice. But there was no knockout on either side and you generally have to knock out the Champion decisively to take the Crown. Those fights along with Foreman and Forman fighting Norton are some the greatest Heavyweight fights ever! With Spinks, Frazier, and Holmes, too! They all fought each other back then! Ali was a great talker and entertainer! Now I don’t even know who the Champ is or care! Back then the whole world 🌎 listened on the Radio 📻 or watched Fights on TV 📺! I’m glad they are available on CZcams! So I can relive those great days of Heavyweight Bouts! Also, the great Era of Middleweight Bouts as well with Leonard, Duran, Hagler, and Hearns all fighting each other! Those were great matches and usually they fought each other 3 times each! Classic Fights! 👏🏻
Bugner was also one of Ali's sparring partners and pals outside of the ring, so they knew each other's fighting style pretty well beforehand. In the end though, Ali was just the better more adaptive fighter when it came time to fight in the ring. Although, that's basically a given for him. Bugner was still no slouch though. I'm forever a fan of both.
@@thomasmacdonough288 The second I saw how big he was I thought this is not going to be a cake walk for Ali. He is one big dude with a long reach. And suddenly Ali had to change his posture and look up more and try to avoid those jabs. It was usually Ali scoring quick points throwing jabs and running around in circles and avoiding getting tagged. That wasn’t going to work with Bugner. The man was almost a giant. Anyway it’s a very interesting and tough fight because Ali had to struggle. Ken Norton gave him some tough battles too! Some say Norton beat Ali.
Bugner was taller, longer reach, way younger, and pretty fast hands when he used them, but about a 10th the athleticism of Ali. Ali is literally playing chess, thinking moves ahead with 4 punch combinations to open up the head. Supreme ability and beautiful to watch again and again... See him at times pop lightly up on his toes to come in over the top with right hand so fast you can barely see it. Even Lomechenko doesnt have that footwork and fluidity... Bless the big man for having walked among us
...I'm hails from Malaysia. This fight of Muhammad Ali versus Joe Bugner(II) at Merdeka Stadium, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is clear in my memory . Due to the schools in Malaysia were given permission to allow their pupils / their students to watch the fight at their schools respectively through television set which were brought to the schools by their teachers . In 1975, I was studying in the standard 5[which, now the standard 5, has been changed to the Year 5, which also means the age of the pupils who study in the standard 5 / year 5 is 11 years old]
Zainuddin Haji Sulaiman Yes, I remember that moment vividly. It was an honor for our country to host the fight that morning classes were cancelled that day and we were asked to watch it. In all-girls school and at 11 or 12 years old, we were all enjoying the show on TV not knowing who we were watching! Aaah... how I miss those days....
Bugner was one of Ali's toughest challengers. Very quick jab, iron jaw, and even danced with Ali a bit along with his own rope a dope. The conditioning of both fighters was phenomenal. Great fight!
Bugner was a classy fighter but rarely showed his raw power. His movement was so loose and fluid and could have gone so much further with a bit of aggression.
This was Ali, that was full of style and tricks in this time he became the real fighter to attack from the first untill the last round nt usual as the boxer it had been planned and success very very astonish though his rival never knocked down thanks a lot
This fight took place at my country, Malaysia in June 1975. It was held in Merdeka (Independent) Stadium, Kuala Lumpur. After this fight Ali met Frazier in Manila, Thrilla in Manila.

The Ali Bugner matches were some of the most under-appreciated matches. Bugner was taller and had a long reach. This forced a change in Alis style making him come in in almost a crouch position at times and he was often the one pressing the fight. Reminds me of the Ray leonard and Thomas Hearns fights in a lot of ways. It made for a great tactical show in my opinion.
Bugner was there to survive bro. Apart from one of the late rounds where he let Ali have it, Bugner stayed with his spoiling tactics so he could last the distance. Bugner didn't have the stamina to out work Ali, which was an underrated part of Ali's game - his work rate. Even here in the 70s when when Ali was past his prime, he was still able to out work most of his younger opponents...
I've watched every fight Ali fought from amateur to his last fight and I must say this agression is rarely seen.Ali loved to please the fans and help his opponents earn their pay cheques. Greatest Of All Time. Rest In Peace Champ.
Ali fought them all. Never this aggressive and 15 rounds. He was in tremendous conditions. I am interested now to see what provoked this from the 1st fight.

Bugner with the Ali shuffle in 58:41. A bit provoking, but it shows Bugner was still fresh in the 15th round. At least Bugner could go the full rounds which might have been his only goal that evening.
@@ALong-fo5so Its because he killed a boxer, sadly . He never punched his weight .... had he been much more agressive , he MIGHT have had a shot at Ali .
Ali so loved his opponents that when they hurt him... he hugged them. Ali so loved his audience that when he was seriously tagged, he indeed could dance and dance and dance away from fighting.
Bugner was always a brave, durable challenger. Tough as nails and a good fighter. He fought the biggest names in a golden era. Just didn't quite beat them. Joe Bugner may not be an all-time great but he deserves far more recognition and respect.
@Francesco Sorice Actually Ali’s 70’s knockout record was good until post Manila. He knocked out everyone he fought besides Frazier, Norton, Chuvalo, and Bugner up until that point.
Bugner was one big Dude! I bet Ali was not pleased to see this Big Dude in front of him taller than him and with a longer reach even!

Ali in attack mode to keep Joe from using that long, lightening fast jab. Great strategy that really worked well. I saw that jab and went holy crap. Also, the first time Ali looked small to me in the ring. Great fight!
@@valleyguy633 That's u but to the commentators who called forman,liston or shavers fights against Ali out of all three the commentators said Ali do not have chance in the boxing ring they never said that about joe bugner going up against Ali dummy.
Buger said that when Quarry was in London preparing for his fight with Larry Middleton, Bugner had agreed to spar with him. Bugner got stuck in traffic and arrived more than one hour late. Quarry, who had a wicked temper, beat the living hell out of him for three rounds. Bugner said he would never spar with Jerry again. This was very early in Bugner's career. A more experienced Bugner against Jerry would have been a good fight. Bugner said that he sparred with Liston and Frazier also, and Liston went very easy on him.
Back in 1979. I read, that Quarry 'spanked' Foreman in a sparring session, and that George afterwards said, that 'Quarry is the best man to never win a title'.
When frazier said Im gonna have big fun with him on commentary referring to muhammad ali this set the sequence for events to follow come thriller in manilla later that year
loved that first round...ali with a right left or a left right and then leaning in and weight down on bugner......continuous through first round....thats how you wear em down.
Aye...'tis a little like one of those bizarre old chinese kung-fu films....I was almost expecting that Ali might be about to use the "bloody palm" technique at any given moment, to avenge the death of Master Po, or something.....(!!).....
This statement is true. Ali was a thinking man's boxer. Extremely dangerous when he wanted to take you apart. Reach, unmatched speed, stamina. He had all the tools.

Quarry, who had a wicked temper, beat the living hell out of him for three rounds. Bugner said he would never spar with Jerry again. This was very early in Bugner's career. A more experienced Bugner against Jerry would have been a good fight. Bugner said that he sparred with Liston and Frazier also, and Liston went very easy on him.
ya
Back in 1979. I read, that Quarry 'spanked' Foreman in a sparring session, and that George afterwards said, that 'Quarry is the best man to never win a title'.
Man liston is such an underappreiciated champion. Its a shame how he was treated
Ali was at 33 years old and his peak time have already passed
Alis is a real boxer who always keep his integrity
Bugner looked like he came into this fight knowing he would lose and just tried to survive to the end.
He was often criticised for not being aggressive enough, but he did have ability
Yup, that's it really.
سلام برنامه ورزشی تون خیلی عالی ممنون
Why did Ali leave so abruptly?
the Bugner shuffle would only work if he could slip punches like Ali too
Ali is unbelievable. Super tactician....

Not the lumbering giants of today. Good to see movement
Have you seen Tyson slipe slide finally hit, by God he's good, lightning quick, but, the late Great immortal greatest by, God
Exactly. Only bums today. Maybe pub bouncers, but not boxers.
الله يرحمك يا بطل
Allahumah Aameen
Ali is the best, Alfatihah 🤲
When frazier said Im gonna have big fun with him on commentary referring to muhammad ali this set the sequence for events to follow come thriller in manilla later that year
The fight that led to his decline... this was the 2nd to last time we'd see Ali without brain damage
Malaysian should be proud that the great Ali himself fought in their country
The best ever...Ali!
He was a cheating no good shit bag who cooper beat wen they cut alis glove

Joe Bugner was the best British heavy weight boxer of all time. And the most injusticed.

Honestly,,Ali was the greatest of all time... SERIOUS GOAT...JSS forever

Ali always made a plan how to defeat that guy
Masa ni saya Darjah satu, masa perlawanan semua pergi ke Perpustakaan menonton Perlawanan di TV dgn Cikgu sekali, 😁
I need a vacation just watching it
Rabbim İmanını ve gücünü daim eyledi ruhu şaad olsun canlı olarak izlemiş olduğum bu maçın rakibi Hollandalı jou bognerdi
La ne hollandalısı bilmiyorsan yazma yaa
Is that band roll on you're using😅
Al’s jab st 00:29 AND 00:36 was the fastest I’ve seen.
Muhammad ali are best😊😊😊😊
Bugner mirror image Ali the GOAT technique, dancing allover the 15 rounds and finally attack. Also Bugner make use of the ropes. Nice fight.
Mohamed Ali Bingwa.👍👍
Ali an intelectual person in boxing, he knows the weakness of his rival.
am i the only one here who thinks they might have added some punching sound effects on certain punches? lol
I kinda thought that too
Aye...'tis a little like one of those bizarre old chinese kung-fu films....I was almost expecting that Ali might be about to use the "bloody palm" technique at any given moment, to avenge the death of Master Po, or something.....(!!).....
Yeah. lol. started noticing it in round 2. Reminded me of the movies. They gave bugner the duller sound and Ali a snare drum type sound
I wondered. Obviously not touched but had sound.
This statement is true. Ali was a thinking man's boxer. Extremely dangerous when he wanted to take you apart. Reach, unmatched speed, stamina. He had all the tools.

Since his buddy Howard Cosel is not calling this one there is less bias from the commentator.
@Jean Saramago he may have been friendly but he was not a friend
