Ali won the fight and it was stoped in the 15th round here is some food for thought if Chuck Wepner were boxing today he would be world champion not just because the champions today are sorry it,s because Wepner had a left hook that could stop a train he just came along when the devisio was rich with talent

On March 24, 1975, Ali fought Chuck Wepner in Cleveland, a fight that was to inspire the Academy Award winning movie Rocky. Ironically, however, it was Ali's opponent who provided the inspiration for history's most famous fictional pugilist. Wepner was a journeyman fighter who had been earning his living as a liquor salesman and security guard. Wepner had been dubbed "The Bayonne Bleeder" and, although he was ranked, he was considered hapless. Wepner, however, trained for two months and although he lost on a technical knock-out, he survived all 15 rounds and even managed to knock Ali down with a body shot. Sylvester Stallone saw the match on television and the concept of Rocky Balboa — an unknown club fighter who goes 15 rounds with the heavyweight champion — was born. Heavyweight champion Apollo Creed, the character portrayed by Carl Weathers, was loosely based on Ali.

the year was 1975 after Ali won the title from George Foreman and he defeated Wepner with a 15th round TKO at 2:41even though Wepner was credited with knocking down Ali in the 9th round with a punch just below the heart but some say he stepped on his foot when he did it .

Ali fought Wepner in the 70's and beat him by a 15th round knockout. I believe it was about 1976 or 77.

You have the wrong decade. Ali fought Wepner in 1975 and I believe he won by TKO in rd 15 on cuts.
