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.

has done it! Muhammad Ali has...

1:08:19
Muhammad Ali. Muhammad Ali...
1:08:21
(Translator) 'Muhammad Ali,
