March 28, 1962, Muhammad Ali (12-0) fought Don Warner (12-6-2) in Miami Beach Convention Hall. Warner was a two-handed puncher who had a good record of wins inside the distance. “He was a tough left hooker from Philadelphia,” said Dundee, Ali’s trainer. Clay said Warner, 22, would go down in the 5th round. But Ali sent a bloodied Warner through the ropes in Round 4. Clay asked why he had taken Warner in the 4th when he had predicted the 5th because Warner neglected to shake hands at the weigh-in.
