Angelo Angelo officer get Mohammed Ali over momentarily we'll get them over for you let's see what we can do here's the world champion Muhammad Ali champ wasn't a tough fighter I have to say one thing before I was doing my belt this I know I'm just so surprised that he could take so many punches and I like to thank our leader I'm realizing Muhammad Allah cries you just came in for praises do them a lot so give him the strength to overtake a crowd booing against me and just beat a man merciful who's a fast top-notch boxer Muhammad thanks a lot for the supreme boxing Muslim car Muhammad did you expect Floyd would go into the 12th round no I didn't I figure the piper for six or seven but I wasn't taking no chances he's a real man or he didn't fall I really I really hit him with a lot of punches with a lot of punches did he hurt you at any time no he didn't but I predicted that the way he's been talking about me that I would give him a good whipping and I'm so thankful that he did have the power to stand up like he did because that's what he got was a good whipping alright now we're going to replay this 12th round if we can player we can we do it and a little hard we're going to replay it for you tell us this did you feel that you were way out front going into the 12th so I knew I was way out front because I predicted that I would hit him about six times to admit and that's exactly what happened and I think it's time for the boxing public also the American public to give me the justice that I'm due for actually saying what I would do which this is the first time in history all right now who would you like to but we're not going to replay it back because that 12th round was rather slow you were finding your target often who would you like to me I'll meet anybody anybody at all yeah anybody at all anybody all right here willing to turn all the hold don't be giving us any clues or any cues well Jam camp I have a book I wanted to give Floyd that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad has out throw this American public and fart would that understand my religion and it's called a message to the black man whereas they are all over the country where is about well supposed to be here not here now all right now we're ready for a playback and I want your opinion as we look at the monitor champ I want your opinion of what you're doing right or wrong or or what Floyd is doing right or wrong here we go let's go into the playback if we can see what I was doing right with the hitting and not being here what he was doing right was getting it and not yet now here we go into round number 12 it's our normal play but rather wait in the world has a seat I'll have look at the natural rhythm and great just punch it in it wheels are weigh about 210 pounds and just look at those punches look like a heavyweight Ray Robinson Peete millet will no match whatsoever what were you attempting to doing this 12th round well in that round I was attempting to knock him out Florida has a hard run and he son they won but as you know with my lean back style my natural grace and ability no heavyweight can get in on me took all india card leaned back style muster here we're gonna friend floor he are he are friends for life boy come in here if you can I wait a minute let's avoid the win while we got all the real man boys hope he didn't fall who sent you some Floyd I hold hold fellas wait a minute now we have Floyd little Floyd how do you feel I know you were game as they make them well just let me say that this is no excuse right but I've had trouble with my basketball I pointed that out but I would like to say that that's no excuse for what happened tonight what happened possibly would have happened anyway well tell me they emit partook higher I can take the parallel you could give us a avoid when does the back start hurting I reported it in about the fifth round now how long a right could I have been well I thought you were troubled in the fifth with that ailing Bank he said you no more excuses no I'm not giving all along note I'm not the man was falling on a lot of punches and he was moving fast and I just happened to be right underneath right he found a [ __ ] lake what did you think of Muhammad Ali has a fist fighter well it's no surprise to me although I did think tried to beat him I have stated publicly or many television stations abroad at the press yes a mr. clay is an underrated fighter the first don't give him credit teddy school I am not ashamed I'm going to say one thing to the public Buffalo go ahead Mohammed God has his reasons for what he think and believe yes I don't want the people a down rating him and I don't ask for people looking down on him because he'll oh no a he for the prime time champion he said he was trying to blame the title back to America which I say it is in America because I pay about 90% of my money to Uncle Sam so I considered of America having the title because they took all my taxes but I don't know about a condemning flawed slide thought a good fight and he took all of my punches and I dare any man in the ring today to take what he could take or Floyd any closing statement from you closing statement at all with yes but not for my speed I would have given a lot of trouble Floyd any closing statement from you you've got a great gladiator down through the years in my opinion great two-time champion and a credit to your race and a credit to the American people well my closing statement I would like to make to mister I'll leave an alley here I was just going to say to him that I thirst a too many times before he has a tremendous amount of ability he has he is very fast and the people must remember Freud has gotten just a little age on him and in his prime I would know I would have caught a lot of trouble I don't know if I'll still be gone at the age of 31 you must look at that - you've been raining a little Lobos - guys the great world champion Muhammad Ali and a great
