You have to forgive the mispelling of his name in the video. Round-eyes can be dumb.
When I was in Tae Kwon Do, I saw very few high level matches that were won with anything other than a punch. Ali had incredible reach, speed and power. I don't think Lee could have landed anything bothersome on him before Ali took him out. You really need to go back and watch just how good Ali was, both in punching and in dodging a punch. At his prime, I think he was better than anybody, before or since.
