  • Sudah 50 tahun berlalu, sejak 8 Maret 1971, Muhammad Ali mendapatkan kekalahan pertamanya di ring tinju.
  • Saat itu, Muhammad Ali takluk di tangan petinju Afro-Amerika lainnya, Joe Frazier.
  • Istri Muhammad Ali, Khalilah Ali, punya cerita di balik pertarungan bertajuk Fight of The Century tersebut.

SKOR.id - Masih ada beberapa sisa kisah di balik Fight of The Century, pertarungan tinju terbesar antara Muhammad Ali vs Joe Frazier, 50 tahun lalu.

Pertarungan pertama Ali vs Frazier ini membawa kekalahan perdana bagi Muhammad Ali.

Berlaga di Madison Square Garden, New York, Joe Frazier mengalahkan Muhammad Ali pada laga yang berlangsung 15 ronde.

Namun, bukan hanya kekalahan Muhammad Ali yang menjadi sorotan. Masih ada beberapa kisah yang baru diungkap setelah lima dekade terlewati, salah satunya oleh istri Ali, Khalilah Ali.

Khalilah ingat bahwa Ia mengenakan pakaian serba hitam di laga tersebut.

Bukan tanpa sebab, Khalilah mengaku saat itu tahu bahwa hari kekalahan Muhammad Ali akan tiba.

"Semuanya hitam (pakaianku) karena saya tahu dia (Muhammad Ali) akan kalah, '' kata Khalilah dikutip dari USA Today.

Bahkan, Khalilah sempat memberitahu suaminya bahwa Ia akan kalah, beberapa saat sebelum naik ring.

“Saya berkata, 'Izinkan saya memberi tahu Anda sesuatu. Anda belum berlatih seperti yang seharusnya Anda lakukan. Dan tahukah Anda? Sudah waktunya Anda kalah. Jadi saya hanya akan duduk dan menonton,'' ujarnya menceritakan.

Rivalitas Ali vs Frazier berlangsung dalam trilogi pertarungan. Usai kalah nilai di pertarungan pertama, Muhammad Ali lalu membalasnya dengan menang atas Joe Frazier pada dua pertandingan selanjutnya.
