Ali vs. Foreman

Think about this scene [the boxing match in Zaire between Ali and Foreman] when you hit the ropes in midlife.

• How do you adapt when you're overpowered?
• How well prepared are you to change your game plan?
• How willing are you to try new tactics?
• Or to bide your time in a defensive stance before you see an opening to move forward again?
