This is the genuine Muhammad Ali. I was hesitant to purchase this DVD at first, because with its flimsy cardboard box it seemed a quickie release. What tipped the balance for me was the HBO logo on the box — produced to their boxing division’s highest quality, this is a real winner.
The 1964 Liston-Clay fight in Miami has already become legend, even though the fight itself lasts just six rounds. Here on disc, with every second preserved, is Clay’s taunting the champ, then momentarily losing his vision (did Liston rub liniment on his gloves?). Shockingly, Liston quits on his stool before Round 7, and Clay shouting into the camera, “I’m a bad man! I shook up the world! I shook up the world!”. No actor sincehas been able to recreate the rawness of this moment. Presented on DVD is the closed-circuit theater version of the fight, called by Steve Ellis, with color commentary by Joe Louis in between rounds. This is, of course, not Louis’s finest hour.
Next is Foreman-Ali in Zaire in October, 1974. Notable here are the color commentators: Ali friend and former football star Jim Brown, and longtime Ali rival (and, they say, bitter enemy) Joe Frazier, along with the obnoxious David Frost. The fight itself is also the stuff of legend (and an Oscar-winning documentary). Ali invents the “rope-a-dope” seemingly on the fly, and wins the fight without ever seeming hurt by massive George Foreman’s punches. The fact that 20 years later, Foreman would be champ and Ali would be seriously impaired, adds only a bittersweet irony to the finale.
The final fight is Ali-Frazier III in Manila, the Thrilla in its entirety. Along for the commentary ride are entertainers Hugh “Wyatt Earp” O’Brian, and Flip Wilson — whose presence at ringside is revealed only by his repeated assertion that “Frazier is starting to smoke now!”. Most interesting, former Ali rival Ken Norton delivers an excellent blow-by-blow analysis for lead man Don Dunphy.
If you know Ali, you’ve seen these fights already, but the DVD presents a unique digital opportunity to examine them again, punch by punch, word by word, from ringside ceremonies to Ali’s impromptu post-bout conferences (the world has missed his repeated use of the word “Moose-lim”). I could question the decision to remove most of the original TV graphics and impose a running clock over every second of every round of every fight, but these digital additions help more than they harm.
The menus are simple and easy to navigate. The key extras here are the fighter biographies (of Ali, Foreman, Frazier, Liston, and also Archie Moore and Larry Holmes), and subtitles. This latter addition makes it easier to make out what the analysts are shouting over the action, particularly Louis and Dunphy.
The final feature is a 1981 documentary, produced by HBO in the days before they were famous for that sort of thing. It’s a walk through Louisville, Kentucky, illustrated by some footage, but mostly still photos of, Ali’s matches from pro debut to brutal beating at the hands of Larry Holmes. The hour seems more a space-filler on an already packed DVD, and predates both Ali’s final defeat at the hands of Trevor Berbick, and ascendancy to global icon status in the ’90s. However, you’ll enjoy the dated ‘81 graphics and soundtrack.
