Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox boxing match

Cassius Clay (soon Muhammad Ali) and Archie Moore fought a boxing match on November 15, 1962, in Los Angeles. The fight is notable for being Clay's first professional fight in the modern heavyweight division, and featured two iconic fighters at different ends of their careers.[1]

Background and fight

Clay had previously trained under Moore for a short time before leaving his camp and joining Angelo Dundee. Moore had just recently been stripped of his light heavyweight title (a title he had held since 1952), and was nearing 49 years old. The age disparity between the two fighters was so great that Archie began fighting professionally 7 years before Clay was born. Then 20 year old Clay was given 3-1 odds of defeating Moore, and won the fight through a technical knockout in the fourth round, as he had predicted in a stanza before the bout.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
