    The Ali-Young Scorecard

    The fourth score "WE" is KO Magazine

    article title: Our Exclusive Investigation Reveals ... Muhammad Ali Lost to Jimmy Young!

    The article was most contentious towards the judging regarding the scoring of Round 1 claiming Ali landed only one punch to Young's "numerous body punches and 12 jabs."

    I watched the bout live. You cannot win the worlds heavyweight championship by refusing to engage with the champion. Ali was awarded at least two knockdowns when Young stuck his head between the ropes in an effort to avoid Ali’s aggression.

      Young made it hard for Clay to get his mitt around the back of his neck, by keeping it out of the ring.

        - -Ali loosened the ropes for Foreman and was sticking out further than Young was with tight ropes.

        He was ropadoping the ropadoper like Lyle did, but they given no credit for Ropadopa. Patent infringement...only in Ali boxing!!!

          Young was trying to leave the ring thus the 8 counts, thus the refusal to engage, thus the decision loss.

            - -Da people said jimmy whooped the champ.

            No matter, Ali was well in his stink by then that led to his unfortunate condition that his supporters should share the blame for.
