“Ali, boma ye! Ali, boma ye! Ali, boma ye! Ali, boma ye!”

Fifty years ago, the crowd was alive and chanting in Zaire as Muhammad Ali stood toe-to-toe with George Foreman. The Rumble in the Jungle. Greatest heavyweight fight by historical standards. Greatest upset by the ones of the heart.

As the rounds began to go by, Ali stretched out at angles on the ropes. He was consciously taking what Foreman could dish. He was transferring the brunt of the blows through the ropes themselves, sending the shockwaves through his middle down through the ropes, down to the turnbuckles, and into the annals of history. Ali was a conductor. He was redirecting currents of force. And when Foreman hesitated, Ali pounced with his graceful right, once, twice — fast enough to ratchet Foreman’s animal instinct to kill up another notch.

Contrary to reason, all of Ali’s offense was within the space of a closet, yet one that had an infinite back, a vortex that Ali reclined into like it were an expanse of the sorcerer’s golden fields. Against it, Foreman lost his bearings.

That night in Zaire, the legend of Ali grew. And we will never forget the Rumble in the Jungle!
