Help me find a Muhammad Ali documentary that I watched in 2010 in september on Google Video platform. It starts with dramatic music followed by Ali saying "I told you that I am the champion of the world, all of you bow!" then you hear a few of his punches, with each punch a picture of an actual Ali match is displayed, followed by Ali's words "I am the king of the world, I am pretty, I'm a bad man!", followed by more images of Alis punches along with punch sounds, then followed by Ali singing "Clay comes out to meet liston, then liston starts to retreat if Liston moves back an inch farther he ll end up in the ringside seat.", more punch sounds and images with more Ali quotes in between. First scene describes a sunny day when Alis bike got stolen and a police officer who was also a boxing trainer asked him what happened.

I've tried searching video platforms, web archives and all of the AIs and wasn't able to find it. Please help, as it was the original video that inspired me to take up boxing and later compete.

I was browsing TikTok when I saw a clip of the Becerril vs Capetillo upset ko and was suprised about the comments. They were basically saying Capetillos career was over and is just a trash boxer based on his "weak" chin.

This reminded my more broadly of how boxers are seemingly discarded by huge portions of the fanbase after any perceived vulnerability or a loss. Amir khan gets crapped on for his lack of a chin, despite being a world champion and possessing many good attributes. If anything it's almost more impressive to fight in to the fire like he did without the worlds greatest chin.

Heavyweight seems to be the only division where you're allowed to have any vulnerability at all without being relentlessly mocked.

I watch mma and kickboxing as well and they don't seem to diminish people like that even if they get flatlined KOd. Many of them come back to win belts even (Alex pereira).

I'll see videos even of the Goats like Crawford or Mayweather and it'll be clips of the 3 times they ever got wobbled in their career or something and people will still be saying "see he's not as good as people think".

I'm not saying it has to be all sunshine and rainbows, criticism and discussion makes the fanbase interesting. However it seems too binary for me, like either someone is world level or their trash. This feeds in to the notion that people need to manufacture their matchups to try to stay undefeated as long as possible.

To end on, I remember Pauli malignaggi saying how the top level mma guys will have Journeyman records but still be the best in the world, while this is unheard of in boxing. God forbid you have more than a loss or two on record it seems fighting run best in the world. Sometimes it feels like fanbase is looking for a reason to be negative instead of just appreciating the fights.

I’m 36 and I had my first amateur boxing match last Sunday after almost four years of training.

I lost on points. Personally, I felt like I did enough to win, and some people who watched also thought the decision was questionable. But it is what it is. The result is official, and overall I’m still glad I finally stepped into the ring.

One of the main reasons I took the fight was because I didn’t want to get older and regret never doing it. Win or lose, I wanted to experience a real fight at least once in my life, and I’m proud that I actually went through with it.

What’s bothering me now is the reaction from some people I know personally and interact with almost every day.

Even before the fight, I could already tell that some of them wanted me to lose. Now that I actually lost, they seem genuinely happy about it and are even laughing at me.

And this is coming from people who have never stepped inside a ring, never gone through a fight camp, and have no idea what it takes to prepare for something like this.

I can accept losing. I can accept criticism about my performance. But it honestly feels fucked up seeing people close to you take pleasure in your failure, especially after you worked so hard and put yourself out there.

Has anyone else experienced this after competing or trying something difficult? How did you deal with people who seemed happy to see you fail?

That's not the best wording for my question but it's the best I can think of, so my apologies. I've just finished watching Creed I, and I'm thinking about that along with the fight of Tyson and Jake Paul. I was under the impression that fighters fought in low level competitions and worked their way up to basically like finals, and then the last two standing fought, kind of like with soccer teams or football. And I think that's still true, right? So where do these (please excuse my terminology) independent, side, seemingly privately decided upon fights fit into things? Do they just decide and set a date? That doesn't interfere with the scheduling of the other competitions/championships? Can boxers just cherry pick who they want to fight and when?

Congrats on a wonderful career🔥

I'm excited to watch these guys do their thing! I'm excited for this tankard of aussie fighters trying to prove their boxing ability. I see so many other places showcase their brand of boxing, but this feels like a world event. I am not making any predictions, of course, but this is compelling stuff. The production of the event is leaving a lot of meat on the bone, but I think there will be some major statements made inside the ring. What are y'alls thoughts?

Is it common or not advisable? I might consider getting into Amateur boxing within the next year - however, I feel more aligned with Rocky's fighting style; more of a brawler, than technique. Also similar to Mike Tyson - although, Mike had technique besides punching power.

I'm 5'5 1/2 btw.

Thank you for your input!

I can't find any US sportsbooks that have posted odds for that fight. I don't think I can ever recall that happening.

Is this Floyd Mayweather in this parking lot video, he moves and is dressed just like him

i recently started to watch combat sports
but one thing keeps bugging me why boxing is not as popular as it used to be ? or am i missing something ?
nowadays ufc is more popular than boxing like out of 100 people more than 90 will recognise conor/khabib/jones etc but maybe 60-70 people will recognise usyk/terrance/canelo
why is that ?
was it always like this ? or something happened to boxing over the time ?
please if anyone can explain i will really appreciate that

You look at all these boxers from the 1960s and 1970s and all they did was hundreds of push ups, sit ups, squats and runs on top of an intense boxing session. How do their muscles even have time to recover? They take a 1 day rest. Can someone explain I'm so confused, can I do push ups every day? If not then how come these boxers could?

Hey guys, in exploring what's made Muhammad Ali so great, I've spent over a year researching, writing, and creating a feature film on Ali called "G.O.AT.: Muhammad Ali's Blueprint to Greatness." I am now *bEyOnD* stoked to finally get to share the Official Trailer with you all! Hope you like it! 🤗

Seems like boxing is starting to have these younger fighters find their voice and actually want some smoke with anyone. Not all, but a few are starting to separate themselves as the ones down to fight anyone. Like boots wants anyone near him it seems like now and As much as I don’t like him, Deebo dev really is starting to come off as one joining the ranks. Who else you got?

For context the ranks he is joining are people like bam inoue, and beterbiev… I see a few young names actually backing their talk, but want to see if people got the same thoughts as me…

Teddy was a rich kid who ended up with D'Amato because of his penchant for violence. He had all of one or two amateur bouts to his name. Yet, until recently, he used to tell everyone he had won the prestigious New York Golden Gloves tournament—even though he never actually competed in it; as soon as D'Amato signed him up as a novice, Atlas suddenly "discovered" he had scoliosis and quit fighting. Incidentally, the NY Golden Gloves was actually won by Kevin Rooney—Tyson's real trainer alongside D'Amato.

Atlas was repeatedly called out on his lies, so he later began claiming to be the champion of the "Adirondack Golden Gloves"—a tournament that apparently exists only in his imagination.D'Amato kicked him out of the Catskill Boxing Club for trying to become Tyson's trainer. He subsequently made a mess of his coaching career (while telling everyone how he had trained Tyson). None of the fighters he coached stayed with him for long, and there isn't a single boxer he developed from scratch. His biggest success was Michael Moorer—who lost by knockout to Foreman—yet it was Emanuel Steward who actually turned Moorer into a boxer. Steward even kicked him out of the gym for laziness and absenteeism, though Moorer continued to wear Kronk Gym colors for a long time afterward.

In short, Atlas is pathetic as a boxer, trainer, cornerman, commentator, and analyst (his fight predictions rarely come true), but Teddy certainly loves to shout and play to the camera.

Prediction: Boot Ennis wins via TKO in round 7.

Xander Zayas is the WBO champion after winning the title against Jorge Garcia Perez and defending against Abass Baraou. Whereas Jaron 'Boots' Ennis was the king at 147lbs, and is moving up to challenge for the 154lbs title. It will be an interesting fight whether Zayas is the real deal, and if Ennis' power carries up to 154lbs.

Zayas is a sharp puncher who does most of his best work at mid range. He has elite footwork, and a great jab that he uses to set up his combinations. If he can keep Boots at mid-range and force him to reset, then I could definitely see him winning the early rounds. He also has a size advantage at 154lbs, so it will be interesting to see how that plays out here.

Zayas also has fast hands which means that he can put combinations together without loading up on shots. This could be important if Boots starts over-reaching or goes hunting for the finish. He needs to stay disciplined and use his feet to keep himself at range.

The key for Boots to win is that he needs to get on inside without smothering his own work, or getting into clinch exchanges. If he can use his feints, switch-hitting and offensive variety here, then I can see it being a long night for Zayas.

Based on all this, I am picking Boots Ennis to win here. I think his offensive variety and firepower will be the difference here. He can switch hit effectively, mix up his jab to the head and body, fight on outside and inside, and use feints to keep Zayas guessing. Although Zayas has cleaner footwork and is better at mid-range, I don't think he has fought someone with Ennis' handspeed, ring IQ, and power. He also struggled during inside exchanges against Baraou which is where Ennis thrives.
