Ali vs. Young, Capital Centre, Landover, Maryland, April 30, 1976: Ali sizes up his opponent, Philadelphia native Jimmy Young, with cool disdain. Second only to his prowess in the ring, Ali’s pre-match psychological warfare was the stuff of legend. A well-timed whisper mid-fight, round predictions to the press, and boasts and taunts with his famously sharp wit all carefully played to his opponents’ greatest insecurities.
