The Toughest Fight of Muhammad Ali's Prime / Muhammad Ali vs Karl Mildenberger 1966

Karl Mildenberger fought Muhammad Ali for the world heavyweight title in 1966. Mildenberger had been the European heavyweight champion for almost two years. On July 5th, he signed to face Ali at Waldstadion in Frankfurt on Sept. 10, 1966. Many observers believe that in 1966 Ali had reached a peak of speed, athleticism and punching precision that was never surpassed. The often-overlooked Mildenberger, a clever southpaw whose amiable disposition seemed somewhat at odds with his profession, turned in a valiant performance against a vastly superior foe. 00:00 - intro 01:00 - pre-fight interview 01:38 - fight 02:19 - 1st round 04:02 - 2nd round 05:42 - 3rd round 07:12 - 4th round 08:39 - 5th round 10:24 - 6th round 12:25 - 7th round 13:57 - 8th round 15:32 - 9th round 16:53 - 10th round 18:42 - 11th round 20:15 - 12th round 20:57 - post-fight 21:29 - post-fight interview 22:14 - outro #professionalboxinghistory #boxing #muhammadali #cassiusclay #documentaryhistory #boxinghighlights #boxinghighlight #heavyweightboxing #olympicchampion #greatestofalltime #thegoat #oldschoolboxing #1966
