It looks like Jack weighed in heavier to get that extra power he will need against the granite chin Ali. Ali is now bouncing down the aisle into the ring, wearing a white robe with yellow lettering on the back. He is staying warm in there, shadowboxing and moving. Now Jack Dempsey is seen attired with a black robe and many people cheer his arrival. Both men look determined.

Michael Buffer: Introducing, from Houston, TX, he's wearing white trunks with yellow strips, he stands six feet three inches, he weighs two hundred five pounds, Muhaaamaaad Alliiii! And his opponent, from Manassah, CO, he's wearing black trunks, he stands six feet one, weighing one hundred ninety pounds, Jaaaaaack Deeempseeeey!!!!!!!!!(the crowd cheers) 15 rounds! Llllllets get ready to ruumbllllllllllle!!!!!!!

Mark Conn: You both know the rules of the Colorado State Athletic boxing Commision. Protect yourself at all times. Beak when I tell you to break. Any questions? Shake hands.

Round 1: Ali circles the ring with tremendous speed and shoots out his jab. dempsey bobbes under it and throws a left lead and a right cross to the head. ali gets a one-two to the head and a left and right hook to the body and a right cross to the head, dempsey gets inside and pounds the body with short left hooks and crisp, clean uppercuts snapping the head of ali, and ali answers with a left hook of his own followed by a right cross to the chin and a left jab to the chin. ali ties jack up and they continue and ali uses the ring and shoots two jabs and a right cross. ali uses the ring for most of the round.

Round 2: Dempsey bobes and weaves and gets under ali's jab, but ali is just not there as he quickly gets out of danger. ali just moves and takes his time, making sure he gets in those lefts. he pops that jab and very often a one-two to keep dempsey off-balance. ali seems to have extra pop in his punches as well, cause he stuns dempsey periodically with his right cross. this is a good round for ali.

Round 3: Dempsey looks for an opening and lands a left hook. ali takes it well and gets in about four consecutive double jabs, landing most of them. dempsey once again gets through ali's reach and ali ties dempsey up, giving him no room to do his dirty work. dempsey is finding this task a little difficult, as ali is bigger, stronger and faster than Jack Johnson, his last foe! Ali is doing well, landing that right cross, never giving dempsey a break.

Round 4: Dempsey is still patient, and not going after him, but he is just bobbing in and out, looking for the right spot to throw a punch. Ali is still on his toes and using his jab effectively. ali ties dempsey up in the clinches and then throws left and right hooks to the body, then pulls back from any counter punches from dempsey. Ali looks impressive once again as he uses the ring and keeps away from the always pursuing dempsey.

Round 5: Ali keeps sticking that jab, and dempsey cannot seem to get through ali's long reach and just settles for long, looping, grazing left hooks that doesn't bother ali. ali game plan seems to be working once again, as ali uses the ring and commands the action as he always does. dempsey gets in a couple of left hooks as a wake-up call to muhammad.

Round 6: Ali keeps moving, but now he sits on his punches. ali's jab are piston-like now and they bother demspey a bit. ali shoots a right cross tot the chin and a left lead to body followed by an over right hand to ther jaw. dempsey gets a right corss to the body, and gets inside working the body and head. Bothe men do good in this round, but dempsey seems the stronger of the two, power-wise.

Round 7: Ali keeps using his jab, bludgeoning the face of Jack Dempsey. dempsey keeps right on him with solid body and head shots while ali head hunts with good, hard blows. dempsey is stunned a little and ali follows up with a hard overhand right and dempsey goes down! dempsey is up at three and they continue. ali tries to finish him, but dempsey survives!

Round 8: Dempsey is still; hurt, and ali knows this. ali comes out and throws fast, hard shots that ropck dempsey again. dempsey goes back and ali pursues. ali lands a right cross and down jack goes again. he is up at 9, and ali is still throwing flurry after flurry and dempsey is out on his feet, prompting referee Mark Conn to stop the fight.

Michael Buffer: The winner by a tko at 1:48 of the eighth round, Muhammad Aliii!

Well, Ali takes the 3-1 series lead and dempsey faces elimination! That's it for today. The final score is ali-tko8. This is butterfly1964 saying, Peace!!

[butterfly1964]

Please, points and good karma will be appreciated.

[SABBATH]

Please, points and good karma will be appreciated.

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict Sonny quits on his stool. I hope butterfly makes it interesting like Ali getting blinded in the 5th or something unexpected. Maybe even a 1st round KO by Ali as he catches Liston cold and Ali refuses to go to a neutral corner.....nah no one would believe that
