That was a slip.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Fair and solid punch to the flank there had some good impact behind it but Ali was also off-balance and some claim Wepner stepped on his foot...
ruled a knockdown for the history books nonetheless.
Chuck Wepner joined a very small club of Henry Cooper and Smokin Joe Frazier.
When Cooper caught him, Clay was a novice, when Frazier caught him that was a great punch from a great fighter. This does not count.
Officially Roldan knocked down Hagler.

He stepped on Ali's foot

If he stepped on his foot it does not count.![]()

Even without the foot you can tell that it was a knock OVER and not a knock down. Guy's don't fall like that from rib shots... It's usually a pretty slow sinking/slumping. They don't tip back like that.
Who gives a fuck. It's 2013. Chuck wepner LOL.
