In Clemente Coliseum on February 20th, 1976, Muhammad Ali faced the Belgian heavyweight contender Jean Pierre Coopman. Coopman, whose nickname was the "Lion of Flanders," appeared far from lion-like when faced with the superior skills of "The Greatest." At just under three minutes in the fifth round, Coopman went down and into the record books in a blizzard of punches. This full, un-used ticket, completely in Spanish, is from that very night in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The ticket was meant for a member of Ali's management team. This incredibly rare ticket, with very few others like it in existence, is in excellent condition with some folding and a few stains on the back.
