Ali Defends Title On Live TV In Nine-Year Gap Bout
Muhammad Ali defended his heavyweight title on live television for the first time in nine years. The 33-year-old entertainer-boxer danced at moments, displayed agility, and relied on his rope-a-dope defense against Ron Lyle. Lyle pressed early, but Ali remained dominant as referees stopped the 11th round when Ali pounded his opponent’s face. Lyle faces legal woes and a tougher future after allegations of shooting his wife surfaced.
