Muhammad Ali technically LOST The Thrilla In Manila

[Bill Paxtom]

~ End of Round 10 ~

Muhammad Ali had backed up into his own Corner, during the last session of Round 10.

Smokin' Joe poured it on, and slammed Muhammad with his 'heavy-arsenal' over the least
20-Secondss of the Round.

At the Bell ending Round 10, Muhammad turned and draped both of arms over the top
Rope-Strands while looking down at the floor {ready to puke his guts out}.

Smokin' Joe walked very briskly back to his Corner on the opposite side of the Ring.

10-Seconds later, Muhammad's handlers put in the corner-stool, and Muhammad turned
around and sat down.

While on his stool, Muhammad rested his arms on the middle Rope strands, and had the
look of defeat on his face.

After 30-Seconds of sitting on his stool, Muhammad was saying >
"No. I don't think that I can go." {While shaking his head}.

Angelo Dundee was telling Muhammad >
"He's ripping you apart. Do you want me to stop it."

Muhammad hesitates on his answer, as he is not sure of whether to continue of not. Then tells Angelo {while shaking his head}. >
"No, not yet."

10-Seconds before Round 11 is set to begin.

Referee - Zach Clayton says > "Seconds Out".

3-Seconds later > Smokin' Joe is standing up, and is ready to go.

Muhammad is still sitting on his stool.

With 1-Second until the Bell, Muhammad is still on his stool. Smokin' Joe is pumped and ready to attack.

At the 'Bell' starting Round 11, Smokin Joe comes out of his corner.

2-Seconds later > Muhammad is 'literally' helped off his stool by Angelo Dundee.

Smokin' Joe is at Center-Ring already, while Muhammad is just getting off his stool.

Had Bill Paxtom been the Referee > he would have Disqualified Muhammad Ali at
0:02 of Round 11, for getting assistance from a handler during an active Round.
