Ali vs. Foster, Sahara Tahoe, Stateline, Nevada, November 11, 1972: The Ali-Foster fight was staged in the showroom at the Sahara Tahoe in Lake Tahoe, with the booths used for the dinner show earning ringside status. Muhammad Ali brought down light-heavyweight Bob Foster seven times before a Round 8 knockout. “Neil Leifer's work is the quintessence of great sports photography,” said Jerry Seinfeld. “It makes you hold your breath for a split second, just as you do when you're experiencing a great sports moment in real life.”
