Looked liked a well schemed work
Wasn't a work, no work would be as boring as this. Inoki wanted to do a shoot match and Ali thought it would be a pro wrestling match. They changed the rules to allow no standing leg kicks and submissions and Inoki knew he couldn't box with Ali so all he could do was kick from guard


One thing I'll say is Ali is one tough dude, most nikkaz would have caved in after 4-5 rounds of those leg kicks
