Cassius Clay (soon Muhammad Ali) and Archie Moore fought a boxing match on November 15, 1962 in Los Angeles. This is notable because it was Clay's first professional fight in the modern heavyweight division. Clay won the fight through a technical knockout in the fourth round, as he had predicted in a stanza before the bout.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
