'and Ali swung
like a man in the rigging.'

1:06:06
He'd go all the way back,
he'd slide out like that.

1:06:08
Occasionally, he'd get hit and he'd
say "George, you disappoint me.

1:06:12
"You don't hit as hard
as I thought you would, George,

1:06:16
"you're not breaking popcorn!"
1:06:18
'And Foreman's insane with rage,
1:06:21
'wanging at him and wanging at him,
1:06:23
'powerful, powerful, powerful.
1:06:26
'And middle of the fifth round
Foreman had punched himself out.

1:06:30
'It had taken three rounds.'
1:06:32
(Commentator) Ali picks it up,
40 seconds left in round five.

1:06:40
First good combination by Ali
lands on the head of Foreman.

1:06:45
Foreman with that right hook.
1:06:47
Ali scores a hook!
1:06:49
Quick jab with the right
backs up Foreman!

1:06:52
Backs him up in his tracks!
1:06:54
Foreman tries the hook!
Ali goes to the right!

1:06:57
Foreman gets knocked to the left!
1:07:01
Foreman hit again!
1:07:03
Foreman has been hit
three or four times!

1:07:07
Ali came off the ropes
and hit him a right

1:07:09
and you can see the sweat pour off
like a fountain off Foreman's face

1:07:13
and you suddenly realised
there was design in this madness.

1:07:17
So I turned to Norman,
he was somewhat puzzled,

1:07:21
but I said,
"The succubus has got him!",

1:07:23
referring to this woman
with the trembling hands

1:07:26
that the witch doctors had said
would touch Foreman and destroy him.

1:07:32
(Commentator) ..Ali's tactics,
to let the man punch himself out.

1:07:36
30 seconds left in round eight.
1:07:41
Very even fight.
1:07:43
Ali a sneaky right hand.
1:07:46
Another sneaky right hand.
1:07:48
Works over the shoulder of Foreman.
1:07:51
There's the combination!
1:07:55
Two...three...
1:07:57
Four...five...
