Ali fought American Boxer Ron Lyle (1941-2011) on 16th May 1975 in the second title defense of his second reign as champion. The fight was close going into the 11th round, with Lyle winning on all three of the judges' score cards. Ali then hit Lyle with a strong right hand and followed flurrying with several punches scoring. The referee stopped the fight, seeing that Lyle had practically stopped defending himself. Lyle's corner was not happy with the referee's decision.
