The Parade Of Champions: Muhammad Ali vs. Alfredo Evangelista
Landover, MD
Heavyweight lbs
Harry Cecchini
WBC/WBA Heavyweight Championship
After the controversy surrounding his second victory over Ken Norton, Heavyweight Champion Muhammad Ali briefly retires from boxing before deciding to come back some six months later. Unfortunately, Ali shows rapid decline in defending his title against unheralded contender Alfredo Evangelista of Spain. Rarely bothering to throw a combination or even a right hand, Ali spends the seventh round in a corner, taunting the challenger and sticking his chin out. Evangelista wins some rounds on activity alone, but Ali still has enough to cruise to an easy fifteen-round unanimous decision.
