I remember this fight. Ali had his hands full with this guy. Cooper boxed right handed. He had Ali confused. He kept throwing 3 straight lefts, his strong arm. Two jabs them a sweeping left hook. He was winning this fight, but was always a bleeder. The fight was stopped because of a cut over his eye. Henry Cooper put English boxing 🥊 on the map.
@RahimmacDonald

Lol Ali got knocked down simply bc the entire fight leading to the knockdown he was toying with Henry Cooper it was one round ali purposely decided to not bother to throw punches and just evade Henry Coopers punches. Once the 5 th came it was made very clear that this was another fight ali carried with him a bad habit of not taking his opponent seriously and playing around with his opponent. That’s bc by the 5th round ali it was clearly that left hook did nothing more than turn on the ali kill switch bc ali started beating Henry Cooper so bad and ate a extremely fast pace to the point Henry had to hold on to ali.

Interesting you say that for this fight.... after getting knocked down Dundee cut Ali's glove to buy more time because he was completely dazed still after corner time.... also gave Ali smelling salts which are completely against British boxing rules (fight was in england). Theres a good chance Ali wasn't used to the Britain climate or maybe just wasnt as experienced as Henry Cooper at that time but this could and really should have been Ali's first loss.... they fought again a few years later and Ali clearly won but just interesting because this could have changed his career and set him back a couple years for his first title win.
