    Wow. I never even knew it existed. Was Ali training for anyone or was it for charity.....how long had Dokes even been pro at that point in time?

    Why Dokes?

      Wait...Dokes would have had to have been like 17 or 18. He was only 24 when he won the WBA strap, right?

        Dokes was 19 years old 5-0 as a pro with 3 KO's. He was Ali's sparring partner at the time and Ali was preparing for a fight I believe. Dokes was Ali's main sparring partner when Ali trained for Shavers in 1977. I believe Ali fought a 10 round exhibition with Dokes in Chicago in 1977. I'll have to double check that one.

                    This reminds me a little of the Bob foster fight.

                    Also, are those commercials from 1976, too? They look ancient to me, lol!
