Muhammad Ali fought George Foreman on October 30, 1974, in Kinshasa, Zaire. Given little chance, Ali knocked Foreman out in the 8th round to win the World Heavyweight Title for the second time. Ali employed a "rope-a dope" strategy of covering up on the ropes and letting Foreman hit him until he tired. The strategy worked as an exhausted Foreman could not rise after being hit in the 8th round. Offered here is a rare, original, official program for this fight, which pictures the fighters on the cover. 12 pages complete. Not scored. Tight binding. Clean inside and out. Very mild center fold. Small fold at lower right corner. Minor edge and corner wear. 8.25x11.75" This program often appears as a reproduction, but seldom as an original.
