In the Midwestern part of the United States, there is a state, Michigan, and a city, called Detroit. In this city we find that they are many important annual events and landmarks that make this town a popular attraction. For Nascar fans, there is the Daytona 500, a very popular race in Detroit, thus giving it the name "The Motor City". Then there is the Detroit Lions in football, the Detroit Tigers in baseball, the Detroit Red Wings in Hockey, and for you hoopsters, there is the recently dethroned Detroit Pistons located at The Palace in Auburn Hills. However, the big event being held in this city is located in an arena called Olympia Stadium. Inside this stadium, there are exactly 104,176 attendants to watch this apparently grand event. Many people from Hollywood and show business are here to witness this sporting event.
Presenting,
The judges are Artie Aidala and Tony Castellani. The referee is Mark Conn. The ring announcer is Michael Buffer. The ring size is 24'x24'. 15 rounds or less, or perhaps more, should there be a draw.
There are many questions that have to be answered in this fight. Will Muhammad Ali be able to handle Louis' power? Will Joe Louis be Able to handle Ali's speed? This is an interesting tale of styles here. However we do know one thing. They are arguably the two most dominant fighters ever. Both men dominated not one, but two decades! Louis dominated the 1930s and 1940s, and Ali dominated the 1960s and 1970s. This is the stuff legends are made of. One thing to note here is how each fighter to react to a loss. We all know that both Louis and Ali were excellent in rematches. This is evident in Louis when he fought Max Schmeling, Buddy Baer, Abe Simon, Arturo Godoy, Billy Conn, and Jersey Joe Walcott. This is also evident in Ali when he fought Henry Cooper, Sonny Liston, George Chuvalo, Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, and Leon Spinks. Personally I feel that whoever loses this first match will win the next one, based on this observation. Both men trained their butts off for this fight, and they are in phenominal shape. Joe Louis weighed in at 205lbs., while Muhammad Ali tipped the scales at 210. Although Louis has the home-ring advantage in this series, there is no clear favorite. It's a deadlock at 1 to 1. Let's go to the press conference.
Ali: How you doing Slow Louis? Ready to lose? I tell you all that I'm gonna cut him up and rip him to shreds!
Louis: Save all that energy for the fight, you'll need it when I knock you out!
Ali: Please, you'll be swinging at air all night, fool! You can't touch me. Iiiiiiii Aaaaammm Theeeeeeee Greatestttt!
Louis: After tonight, you will be the great loser.
Ali: Is that all you can come up with, chump?
Louis: I let my fists do the talking. I don't need a big mouth like you do.
Ali: You may not have a big mouth, but I'll give you a fat lip!
Louis: Careful there Ali, you might break a vocal cord.
Ali: Ali comes out to meet Louis,
and Louis starts to retreat,
if Louis goes back any further,
he'll end up in a ringside seat.
Ali swings with his left,
Ali swings with his right,
just look at the way
Ali carries the fight.
Now Louis keeps backin'
but there's not enough room,
it's only a matter of time,
before Ali lowers the boom.
Now at this point of the fight,
Ali takes a mighty swing,
and the punch lifts Joe
clean out of the ring.
As everyone looks up
the ref wears a frown,
'cause he can't start counting
till Joe comes down.
Now Joe Louis disappears from view,
the crowd is getting frantic,
but our radar stations just picked him up,
he's somewhere's over the Atlantic.
Now who would have thought
when they came to the fight
that they would be witnessing the launching
of a human satellite.
Usually a bomb is launched up
and comes down to where it's sent
but the brown bomber is launched up
and out never to be seen again!
I AM THEE GREATEST!!!!
(the crowd is bursting out laughing)
Louis: I have a poem, too!
Crowd: Ooohhhhhh!(They are a bit surprised, but very intrested in what Louis has to say)
Ali: Ok, Slow, hehe. Let's hear it.
Louis: Ali comes out dancing,
Ali comes out bold,
Ali moves and dances some more,
and Ali is knocked cold!
(the crowd laughs hysterically again)
Well, there you have it folks. Looks like these two are ready. Here is the tale of the tape.
Joe Louis
age: 28
height: 6'-2"
weight: 205
reach: 76"
record: 56-1-0 (50ko)
Muhammad Ali
age: 25
height: 6'-3"
weight: 210
reach: 83"
record: 29-0-0 (23ko)
As you can see, Ali is the slightly bigger man. Louis has more power, though.
The crowd cheers as Muhammad Ali comes down the aisle, with a huge entourage. Bodyguards, cameramen and othes are with him, including his trainer Angelo Dundee. Ali is attired with a white robe with his name stiched in black lettering. He is in the ring and warms up.
The crowd now roars for Joe Louis entrance, and there are about twice as many people surounding Louis than Ali, about 30. Louis is accompanied by trainer Jack Blackburn, and has on a black robe with his name stiched in white lettering. He now comes in the ring and has a determined look on his face.
