The infamous fight. Play by play. It's a punishing display of brutality and endurance. The avatars of America’s Culture War stand tall and fierce in the African ring. Foreman is fearsome, throwing haymaker after haymaker. Ali is classically savvy, inventing a new technique on the spot: The Rope-a-Dope. It’s all he can do to survive the onslaught of Foreman’s violence. This fight is considered by many to be the greatest sporting event of all time.
