On May 16, 1975 Muhammad Ali defended his WBA & WBC Heavyweight belts against Ron Lyle of Denver. The bout took place at the Convention Center in Las Vegas. Ali attempted to use the same rope-a-dope tactics he'd successfully employed against George Foreman in Zaire but Lyle didn't take the bait. The Champion did very little in the first 6 rounds and was behind on all scorecards. So - as quoted by a post fight Sports Illustrated report - "Muhammad Ali, surely the most versatile heavyweight fighter of all time, went back to proven stuff. He began to float like a 224½-pound butterfly and sting like a bee and he reduced Ron Lyle to a defenseless hulk after one minute and eight seconds of the 11th round in their championship fight last week in Las Vegas."
Offered here is an exceptionally rare full on-site ticket from the fight. Approximately 2.75" x 5.75" in size, the ticket entitled the holder to a Loge seat. It has some mild creasing and light corner/edge wear. Two small moisture spots can be found on the front. Very seldom seen complete ticket.
