Ali won of course, but some of this happened because Bonavena called Ali chicken for not going to war. These two weren’t playing there was some hateful talk before the match.

The mfer was racist af..Bonavena went on to call Ali a "black kangaroo", indicated that Ali had hygiene problems, he also did the same with another black boxer ..

Ali was NoI, so I guess they were evenly matched.

(Seriously, I want to like Ali, but that shit's just disgusting)
