The whole fight was sad and you can see the slur in Ali.

Ali aged quickly after the 1st Spinks fight.

[Galaxy]

A fight that never should have happened

[Master]

That was the only fight Ali had a moustache?

[THE THIRD MAN]

I no longer acknowledge any Ali fights after the Thriller In Manila, he should've retired then and yet fought on for another 5 years The Holmes fight was a boxing travesty, you can clearly see Ali is in slow motion with Griffin and working from memory.

Ali, with the stash and dyed hair, sounds amazingly good in 1980, prior to the Holmes fight, Parkinson's syndrome( Pugilistic dementia) is progressive. At this point Ali was already taking medication, which made him seem more normal and/or coherent, but it was a time bomb ticking.

He should have called it quits after the last fight with Frazier, but it may have already been too late.

I'm glad we still have Ali around, even in his present condition, he was one of a kind, I hope he lives to be 90, and fools us all again.

cheers champ, you were the greatest and still are.
