'The Experts who picked Muhammad Ali over Larry Holmes'

Muhammad Ali by Knockout in 5 {KO 5}

Muhammad is so skilled and smart. I cannot believe that an average
Heavyweight like Larry Holmes can beat him.

Muhammad will take away Larry's jab by the 4th Round, and then he
will back him up by out-muscling him.

I look for Muhammad to fire right-hands over the top, and into Larry's
suspect chin.

I see Muhammad landing a 'big' right-hand to the point of Larry's chin
and dropping him for the count in Round 5.

I'm betting my next 3-years mortgage payments on Muhammad.

I've seen him in Training Camp, and he looks fantastic. He will let Larry
jab himself out during the first 3-Rounds, and then take over.

Muhammad Ali will win. Based on his heart and will. It will be a struggle,
but he has more heart and courage than Larry.

While he can't match his former sparring-partner in speed or power anymore,
he has the 'smarts' to take him down.

I think Muhammad will come-from-behind, and take Larry out in Round 12.

It is easy looking back in hindsight and focus on bad predictions. There was a famous writer who thought Holyfield would beat Tyson and sometimes it is worth a punt in the dark.

"The King Takes Back His Crown"

For the sake of 'us', Muhammad must win this fight, and will. We feel
that Muhammad has never lost a fight in the Ring, ever.

Muhammad will be carrying the 'pride' of his followers into the Ring, and
we will help him to victory. This regular fighter {Larry Holmes} is good,
but he's not in Muhammad's league.

Muhammad will pull some 'magic' out of his Top Hat, and catch Mr. Holmes
by the 9th Round.
