****!!!!TECH NOTES!!!!**** THE SOURCE VIDEO WAS AN RUSSIAN REPLAY OF AN OLDER ESPN REPLAY. RUSSIAN OMMENTARY WAS ADDED OVER THE TOP OF THE ENGLISH COMMENTARY WHICH MEANT YOU COULD HEAR BOTH COMMENTATORS. IT WAS TERRIBLY ANNOYING. I HUNTED DOWN A VERSION OF THE ESPN REPLAY, FOUND IT, THEN REMOVED THE AUDIO TRACK FOR THE VIDEO AND REPLACED IT WITH WHAT WAS STRICTLY ESPN ’S REPLAY AUDIO. Muhammad Ali 218 lbs beat Alvin Blue Lewis 224 lbs by TKO at 1:15 in round 11 of 12 Date: 1972-07-19 Location: Croke Park, Dublin, Ireland Referee: Lew Eskin Notes Lewis was a former Ali sparring partner. Ali dropped Lewis with a right hand late in the fifth round. Lewis got up at the count of nine and then the bell rang. It was the only knockdown of the fight. Ali’s trainer, Angelo Dundee, complained that Lewis got a long count and was down for 22 seconds. The referee stopped the fight in the eleventh round, as Ali was putting on a dancing and jabbing exhibition and Lewis was unsteady on rubbery legs.
