The damage Ali endured in his otherwise magnificent career is seen in a moving last image tonight, of his bloated face near the end of his life. But he often said he would have changed nothing because of glorious nights like the Rumble in the Jungle. The central role, played by Kimane Juneau, is obviously the most challenging. No actor can do real justice to Ali. Juneau makes a valiant effort but he never becomes Ali. I do like him, however, when a few of us are invited into his dressing room just before the fight and a serene Ali soothes the nerves of his anxious trainer, Angelo Dundee, and normally bumptious cheerleader, Bundini Brown. Light heavyweight: Bobby Stewart (174 lbs) of Amsterdam, New York, won by unanimous decision (sixth) over Ken Jones (168) of Somers, Connecticut.

When Ali arrived in Zaire, now known as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, he was greeted with adoration. In the eyes of the people of Zaire, Ali was like a representation of the struggles of their country, which only 12 years ago had gained independence after Belgian colonial rule followed by long-lasting turmoil. A chant for Ali took little time to form. They chanted " Ali boma ye", translating "Ali, kill him". [32] When We Were Kings" winning Best Documentary Feature". YouTube.
