Ali Vs. Wepner (1975)

Ali Vs. Wepner was said to have inspired Sylvester Stallone to write the script for "Rocky."

 


jaywilton

Sylvester Stallone picked the right fight-and fighter-Wepner,to model 'Rocky' after.But as far as the fight itself went-this was no classic. Wepner,who had been in the ring with serious punchers-he'd been stopped by Sonny Liston,for example,dropped Ali with an assist by stepping on Ali's foot.A much better(or worse)fight was Wepner vs. Andre The Giant-in which Andre picked up Wepner and threw him for at least a mile.
