[Applause] you can do it by having a date there's no question about Muhammad Ali anymore there are no more Muhammad Ali he's only one Larry Holmes Muhammad Ali has seen the bright side knives on the dark side the returning hero maybe not this time the conquering hero Muhammad Ali the man who hasn't had a good fight for the last five years not since Manila the man who hasn't even fought since September 15 1978 he is 38 years of age now and he must undertake the task of reproving himself all over again the man who has held the title and unprecedented three times and seeks to make it a fourth incredible in the 1980s the era of Muhammad Ali was complete at the new world champion he's former sparring partner Larry Combs was on his way to the boxing throne it was Holmes who became the first and the only boxer who was able to end the fight with Ali before the gong and in his own faith three months before this fight Ali undergo a medical examination at the clinic the results of which were kept in secret for a long time it was later revealed that Muhammad Ali had difficulty touching the tip of his nose with his own fingers could hardly stand on one leg and his speech was pretty much disordered as the Parkinson's progressed when Ali met Holmes in the ring he began shouting I'm your master and your teacher everything you have achieved you owe me the fight has not started yet and this zero round was the only one in which Muhammad was able to win Holmes dominated the ring for the next half an hour [Applause] [Music] Larry home [Music] that he can kill Han in every sense of the word lay down [Music] Angelo Dundee wants to stop the fight [Applause] [Music] in the town lounge police coach decided to throw in the towel at the same time in a different part of the United States in Albany few friends gathered to watch this fight among them was 14-year old Mike Tyson when young Mike was doing time in a panel colony together with few other inmates he was brought to an assembly hall where he saw the movie the greatest of all time about Muhammad Ali after the end of the film everyone began to applaud and Muhammad himself stepped on the stage he began to talk with the boys who could not believe what they saw and it was then that Mike Tyson made his mind not just to become a boxer but to be the greatest of all time but the morning after release fight with Holmes Tyson's coach cause D'Amato talked on the phone with Muhammad in the presence of his ward how did you let this amateur to Beach him he's an amateur Muhammad he's an awful boxer and I say that he's an amateur why did you let an amateur to beat you down shout at D Amato and then he did a faithful act hey I have this young black kid with me set to Yamato he's just a boy but he'll be a heavyweight world champion his name as Mike Tyson please talk to him Muhammad and tell him to do what I say and to your motto handed the phone to Mike I'm sorry about what happened to you I was sick Ali replied I took the medicine it weakened me so Holmes won I'll get better come back and beat him don't worry champ when I'll grow up I'll beat him for you a few years later when Tyson began his professional career dia motto set a goal for him we have to tear homes apart and take the Champions title he is nothing compared to you dia motto was not destined to see this victory he died in 1985 but Tyson remembered the cusses gameplan right hand right after the jab [Music] by 1988 Holmes had already suffered two defeats from Michael Spinks both of them on points one of them were a split decision in the 60s and 70s the greatest Muhammad Ali ruled the division with a Grace and a flair for the dramatic but at the age of a 31 year old champion clipped the wings of the butterfly and took the Stinger out of the bee Larry Holmes who ruled the heavyweight division for seven and a half years and now a 38 year old former champion steps out of retirement and into the ring one more time the new undisputed heavyweight champion stands menacingly in his way now Holmes has another bad idea insulting Mike Tyson I'm going down to history not Mike Tyson he go down in history of sob if he do happen to win the fight down the line you gonna destroy yourself before the fight he said I will enter the history as a winner as for Mike Tyson he will be remembered as a sorry son of a [ __ ] if he will win this fight he will destroy himself later already in the dressing room before going to the ring Tyson was determined to wipe Holmes out from the face of earth he turned into a beast so a couple of epoxy grates I think it's fair to say Barbra Streisand here of course perhaps the most familiar face present company included [Applause] and the recent form of license has been very very good here he comes so there isn't the most successful most punishing heavyweights on the planet a lawful honor regard here for Larry Holmes the former heavyweight champion 48 wins 2 defeats 34 wins inside the limits the only record set by Rocky Marciano of 49 and 0 and they are Mike Tyson 32 straight wins 28 inside the limit [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] city now before the official introductions I would like to acknowledge a man here in the ring who is indeed a man no one else could knock out Holmes and Larry himself did not believe in such a scenario he became the only man in history to win three World Championships ladies and gentlemen the former three-time [Music] [Applause] yes to step apart Ali also came to support him he went to the tysons corner and set destroy him Mike in 20 what a great cynical matchup so Mike Tyson then the most destructive heavyweights of this generally means Larry hopes a master boxer the great boxing brain Tyson a real student of the sport and as you can see Tyson starting better sai-san they're rips in or nice right there from Larry Holmes [Applause] a bit more successful homes in this round but to overall of course Tyson's [Applause] [Music] right there from Tyson and a big left hook up at the top on the belt their homes almost same just you wait to the next round oh goodness we want a right hand therefore dicen a Larry Holmes on his back here in Marin 4 but he's beaten the count that was a very very heavy right hand well hope it's okay I just put your mind back to the night when only savers track him as well how did Holmes picked out when he's down again second time no chuka base about that particular knockdown but it may whatever book it Cortez cares to wait again and Mike Tyson now very menacing Larry Holmes surviving on port courage pure instinct again that Tyson right hand oh and he's got him again homes on very shaky legs here in the fourth well he's not brushing it sighs busy just picking the right punch and this now looks awful oh what a punch that was but he's good again and the legs absolutely collapse underneath him so Larry Holmes had actually flatly in the fourth round maybe a bunch is bad from Mike Tyson he never that underneath Mike Tyson still the undisputed heavyweight champ of the world but Larry Holmes they completely flatten the web that thinks [ __ ] underneath you like that you know it's a bad one what does man out though what on earth will Rogoff the fear to walk into trouble like this getting crowded here but game he wants to climb up for him via the console minutes 55 seconds of the port round the winner and still the undisputed undefeated [Applause] it was a victory for us it was a victory for Ali a victory for Tyson himself no one could compare with him thanks for watching this video until the end if you enjoyed it give it a like until next time [Music]
