プロのリングで初めてオープンフィンガーグローブが登場した試合。ちなみにチャックはロッキー・バルボアのモデル。

試合を成立させること、それが凄い。

猪木さん、カッコよすぎる！

I wonder what the rules are for this mixed contest. They always had strange limitations. Apparently, ground fighting was extremely limited as Inoki was prevented from applying several submissions. Wepner was tough as old boots. Credit to both men for going for it.

Antonio's recuperating power is simply Amazing. :- - ).!

Antonio Inoki era ossessionato dal rendere la sua disciplina (il wrestling) come “credibile”. Come più realistica possibile. Che poi lui fosse un atleta incredibile e avesse grandi basi di arti marziali la cosa è innegabile. Per questo organizzò parecchi incontri tra lui e atleti di varie discipline, ma gli incontri erano chiaramente combinati. L’incontro con Mohammed Alì, abbe un risvolto inaspettato quando quest’ultimo lo sfidò apertamente ad un match non concordato, ma l’incompatibilità delle discipline portò ad un match imbarazzante e surreale in cui comunque volarono una quantità impressionante di legnate sulle gambe di Alì. Questi incontri e quest’ultimo in modo particolare, gettarono le basi per le future MMA chiedendosi come sarebbero stati gli incontri se atleti provenienti da varie discipline avessero potuto affrontarsi seriamente con delle regole ibride.

I had no idea this fight took place, but to both fighters credit, it was a great fight, and they both use dirty tactics. When Wepner had him on the ropes swinging away, the refs should not have interrupted the fight, but be it as it may it was a absolutely great fight.!

この試合、小学生の時に父に連れられて見に行き、今４６年ぶり？に再び見れました。あらためて見ると猪木のパンチが意外と速くてビックリ！ キックだけではなく、パンチの練習もしていたのですね。 アリ戦の時もこのルールでできたら「世紀の凡戦」などと言われずに済んだのに。 ブルース・リーが映画「燃えよドラゴン」で使用したオープンフィンガーグローブを実戦で始めて使用したのが、この試合での猪木です。

猪木は強いよ。この時代でこの身体｡鍛え上げてる｡更に面白い｡金払う値打ちある。こんなカリスマ今居ない｡初代タイガーから誰も居ない｡仮に真剣勝負じゃなくても全てストーリーは組まれてないし。アクシデントもあり得る。懐かしいね。

猪木氏、かなり良いパンチを喰らっていましたが、それを堪え忍びローキックや延髄切りを交えゴリゴリに押していくスタイル。なかなか面白かったです。きちんとエンタメパフォーマンスもやってのける斉能に改めて感服しました。🎉

レオン・スピンクス戦…これやりたかったんじゃないの…

The Real Rocky Balboa

I ❤ Inoki's Chin it's Beautiful

Aldilà delle sue capacità atletica,per altro non indifferenti INOKI é stato davvero un personaggio carismatico e affascinante, grande INOKI...ICONA ASSOLUTA DEL mondo del chetch e della lotta come disciplina ...INDIMENTICABILE specialmente per chi come me negli anni 80 era un bambino o adolescente...!!!! GRAZIE ULISSE COME SEMPRE E BUONA DOMENICA 😊😊

There was so many times in this fight, where inoki could have submitted wepner in this fight, but one thing for sure is that inoki definitely didn't have any chance of knocking him out because he was able to absorb punches well against Ali for his heavyweight title. There were also so many times, where wepner could have knocked inoki out because of all of those body blows that inoki took, and the fact that wepner was able to stagger him with one of his punches. Although inoki was able to answer wepner when he got put up against the ropes by taking him down several times, which is a good strategy against a boxer.

ほんとに今の格闘技を作ってきたよな猪木って😂

grande come sempre💪se non sono indiscreto riusciresti a fare una lista di tutti i match contro atleti di altre discipline , sarebbe top cmq grazie x il lavoro che fai😉

Inoki was able to play this kind of match because he was confident when the time came. I think Weppner is also a great player in terms of wrestling.

Anoki had every advantage and the ref saved him every time he was hurt.

70年代の猪木さん 惚れ惚れするような良い身体だな バランス良くて柔らかい。

Considerando che é del 1977 non è affatto male. Oggi nell'era MMA può sembrare poca cosa, ma immagino che 46 anni fa questi due sembravano dei marziani, o no?

Definitely a work. Tons of points at which Wepner could have decisively thrown punches but with didn’t or pulled them.

I recall Ali 🥊 vs Inoki where Antonio opted to stay on his back and kick Ali's legs

The Ref was biased for not taking points from Anoki

The Bayone Bleeder. At it again.

Wepner was basically a punching bag with limited skills but was a tough son of a gun

It's funny how the rules were different for the Ali fight. Inoki was hardly allowed to touch Ali.

この時期？猪木さんは不評に終わったアリ戦再戦へ向け、動き出し、WBC連盟だったかな？｢それならアリと戦った挑戦者たちから元世界ヘビ－級王者のジョ－・フレイザ－かチャツク・ウェップナ－のどちらかを選んで戦え！｣という打診があったと記憶してます。フレイザ－戦は興味があったのですが、危険と踏んだのか？結局、あの大巨人アンドレと戦ったウェップナ－に決まったようです。これももちろん予定調和で猪木さんかも勝ったのですが、実際のウェップナ－のパンチはジムで公開練習の時、サンドバックを持っていた新日本の若手ごとブ－ンと飛ばされる破壊力であの大巨人も試合後に｢俺はリングアウト勝ちしたけど、ウェップナ－のパンチは相当、破壊力があった。一週間ぐらい顎や頬が痛くて辛かった｣と語る程のダメ－ジがあったのだそうです。確か私はその時は中学生でしたけど。

The ref saves inokis butt so many times.

Both of these tough guys had previously faced both Muhammad Ali AND Andre the Giant!!!

Wepner really beat him but ref stopped him

Me hubiera gustado que así hubiera sido contra Mohamed Ali.

実況に不満。「空を切りました。空を切りました。」延髄切りの右足は、空を切ってますが、左足が後頭部にヒットしています。 当時も今も中継でスロー再生はしてなかったと思いますが、しっかりアナウンスして欲しい!

Fun fact: In Japan, the Boston Crab is known as the "Tokoyo Blowfish."

From Camotes Island Cebu Philippines 🇵🇭 Italia 🇮🇹 holyfuck nice Guy what's up I hope no much 👍 Grande Hinoky 🎩😎🔝 quanti bei ricordi di bei momenti davanti alla TV ... Con tanti sogni nel cassetto 🙏🤞 Grande Ulysses bel filmato ... Continua così ... Al prossimo entusiasmante video cheers 🤗 peace ✌️

Сказать, что два убийцы встретились на ринге, будет,наверное, преувеличением. Но то, что это люди заблудившиеся, а,возможно, что даже не искавшие истину-это несомненно.

坂口征二の異種格闘技戦や。ルスカVSアレンや。抱腹絶倒で発熱物のニールセンVSチャーリアーチ。我らが健吾兄さん。藤波さんの良く判らない異種格闘技戦。（ニールセンVS藤原＆ライガー山田の試合も見たいです）。永源遙VSペルワ～ン一族の試合の映像あるのかな？🤔

リアルタイムでTV*観戦したが延髄切りの右足はかわされたが偶然左足がヒットしたと記憶してる。 スロー映像見たいな。

Vittoria per Boston Crab bellissima

グローブつけてる猪木はじめて見たな。若いし高画質だし

Grande Antonio Inoki, i primi rudimenti di MMA, ero all'oscuro di questo incontro, non avrei mai immaginato che fosse stato un precursore di questa disciplina, che oltretutto non amò particolarmente, bella chicca Ulisse!! 🥊

More realistic than anything you would see in the WWF. Too bad Chuck couldn't have stayed sober for this, would have looked even more realistic!

猪木の動きが良いなあ。素晴らしい体つきでコンディション抜群。全盛期に近いな。 ウェプナーもよくプロレスを理解していて、なかなかの好試合だ。

And we wouldn't see another successful Boston Crab again in MMA until Jonno Mears in 2017

PRIDEが盛り上がりはじめの頃だったか、この試合映像を、後の猪木が解説してて 「へぇ～、俺も昔はマーシャルアーツ的なグローブというかね、着けてやってたんだなぁ」 と自分で感心してたのを思い出した。

In the fourth round Inoki knew he was going to lose. at that time he began to fight using ever dirty move. After he kept the illegal choke hold on for so long after he should have broken it , Wepner was still unable to breath and inoki took full advantage of the moment.

This was a work

Wepner kicked his ass😮

L'arbitro è BELLISSIMO !!!

Grazie Antonio Inoki, leggendario atleta della mia infanzia, per non aver fatto, una volta tanto, sanguinare Wepner😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Chuck Wepner, il vero Rocky Balboa

antonio inokki 😍😍👍👍

拳と拳…魂と魂のぶつかり合い… それが人の魂を揺さぶる。 確かにダーティーなパンチや反則ギリギリの技も有ったけれど…試合が終わった後に爽やかに称え合う事が 混沌の世の中では大事。

Looked like Wepner was holding back

Tyson Fury boxes like Chuck Webner has anyone noticed this....

全部背負って。 すごいですよ。 タイガーマスクも猪木さんいないとないわけですから。

Rocky was supposedly based on Chuck.

😅🤣😂 This is hilarious!!

You know I actually thought this was a legit fight until that Inoki STOMP at 11:08-then I knew this HAD to be a work. Inoki’s over sell on getting stunned at around the 11:21 mark made me certain this was a work. Still a good show!

Le chicche di Ulisse, ma questo match è stato precedente o successivo a quello tra Inoki e Alí?

As much as I respect Inoki, Weppner clearly had him twice, only the referee's interference saved Inoki...

素晴らしいファイターだ👍🥲🌈❤️👏👍素晴らしいね👍🥲

感動した😃いい試合や🗣️よくがんばったチャツクエップナー👍身長とテクニックの、チャツク、かいな力のアントン、✊名勝負、陳勝負🙋

Why do they make em stop on the floor f it's mma

What’s up with Arnold Skaaland in Wepnder corner with the White shirt outside the ring! If Skaaland was there Vince McMahon sr. Def had his hand in the mix! Plus Wepner was from Jersey and new Vince!

流石、猪木天才だぜ😮

猪木もウェップナーも素晴らしい👏 はるか昔の試合で結果もわかっているのに見ていてドキドキしましたね。 猪木の延髄斬りが決まってウェップナーがふらついたシーンは感動しました。 のちの猪木の必殺技となる代名詞的な延髄斬りが格闘技戦で威力を発揮！ ウェップナーもさすが元世界王者で逃げずに正々堂々と戦った姿勢には脱帽。 出会うべきして出会った2人だったのかもしれませんね。

Bel documento storico. Ma perchè l'arbitro si dimenticava spesso che si poteva combattere anche a terra e in stretto contatto?

Can anyone ever make it so obvious ever on been in a fixed match

新日本プロレスは異種格闘技戦で様々な対戦相手を呼びましたが、 ウガンダのアミン大統領を呼ぶ事も考えてました、 アミン大統領はボクサーでしたね、

ウエップナーはこの時期酒のセールスマンだったとは、、

2ラウンド3分33秒〜39秒、画面左側リング下のセコンドサイドで若き日の若手時代•佐山サトルの見守っている姿が観れます。

Gardaş bu maça da böyle hakem vermezsin yaa

ローキック70発くらい最後まで耐えたアリはやはり凄い。

C'è anche il film si chiama The Bleeder (Chuck)

Grande Inoki! Pur di rimanere fedele al suo stile ha impostato un incontro di sacrificio, cercando il grappling ad ogni costo e spazzate oggi anacronistiche, da suicidio. Anche da non pugile ha dimostrato di saper incassare mostruosamente. Il pugile, povero, nulla poteva se non sperare di fiaccarne la resistenza.

The fight Inoki did with Ali was an undignified thing. Ali refused to fix it and Inoki lied on the Canvas and hurted Alis legs quite serious by kicking them all the time. Compared to that this is quite fair, but still bizarre enough by the way.🥴

the best punch for Wepner is the back of the head

後半少し雑だったけど、今見ると試作段階という感じで面白い

Puoi portare un video sul pugile pernell witacker?

今改めてみると真剣勝負じゃあないな。

Sly got the idea of the rocky movie from the wepner vs Ali fight and chuck never got one red cent from cheap Stallone

Aaaaghhh... Those Inoki worked mma matches... At he did not finished with octopus hold... Or he did?

このオープンフィンガーグローブを考案したのは確か佐山聡さんだったと思う。元はブルース・リーの考案したものだけど。 （リーのオープンフィンガーグローブは、アメリカの警察において警棒で相手のナイフを手から叩き落す練習で使う「小手」を改造したもの）

猪木はボクシングでも大成したと思う

Ref saved anokis ass a few times ,and there should of been more drop kicks earlier on ,.(And chuck has a scary looking face)

pensavo che fosse una buffonata, ma è stato un incontro vero, non si sono risparmiati

猪木　強い、アリから圧力でダウンとるぐらい大きい相手に余裕で受けとる、しかしモンスターマンの時もそうやったけど喉のとこ突いて倒すやつ　大きいウエップナ一　一発でひっくり返しとるやん　猪木のハンドパワーか何か裏技なんかな　どういうことや　👊

ボストンクラブの時、2回ともウェップナー自分から回転してないか？

Coraggio da leone dell’arbitro in più occasioni

When did this fight happen...I thought Inoki only fought Ali

Inoky, grande amico dell'uomo Tigre

If inoki can kick why cant wepner put him in a headlock and hit ?

"Okay, guys! Great idea for this mixed rules fight! We'll show boxing for all it is by allowing every and all strikes! And we'll show all the possiblies of wrestling by only allowing grappling for a few seconds and not allowing any submissions!" "You're a genius, Phil."

確か猪木が初めて延髄斬りを使用した試合だったんじゃないだろうか。あの延髄斬りがかなり効いた様だ。

驚いた。 ガチじゃねーか！

Questo Wepner fece 15 riprese contro ALI' ,e pare che STALLONE si fosse ispirato a lui per il personaggio di ROCKY.....

for him, this opponent is quite all right

Don't remember this at all, another great white hope?

猪木さんといえば右ストレートのイメージだけど、左ジャブが速い！
