Yeah this was in a golden gloves tournament when Ali was 16. I believe it was the only time Ali was ever stopped as an amateur.Comment

Interesting, thanks for posting.
I liked a lot of what I seen in just that short snippet of him fighting at the end there, shame I can't find anymore on him.
So much fighters today could learn from just that 15 or so seconds of footage.
Leaning on him when his opponent came in low and continuing to work, pushing him back and punching his way out of the clinch. Good inside work and head control.
Nice, composed clean work vs a disorientated opponent trying too survive. So many fighters today would have just accepted it or looked to the ref for help.
Shame he didn't make it as a pro for whatever reasonComment
