During a pre-fight interview in ABC studios, a physical altercation ensued between the two. Terrell called Ali by his birth name of Cassius Clay multiple times. Ali took immediate offense and interrupted Terrell, asking why he called him that; Terrell noted that Ali had introduced himself by that name when they first met which Ali denied. The situation quickly escalated and Ali said "my name is Muhammad Ali" and threatened to "make [Terrell] announce it in the center of that ring if [he] don't do it now." He then called him "an old Uncle Tom, another Floyd Patterson", and further threatened "I'm gonna punish you." Terrell took offense in turn, saying "you ain't got no business callin' me an Uncle Tom. Don't call me no Uncle Tom, man." Ali yelled back "That's what you are, an Uncle Tom!", to which Terrell responded "Why you gonna call me an Uncle Tom, I ain't do nothin' to you." Ali simply yelled "Uncle Tom!" repeatedly, resulting in a shoving match between the two.

Ali was ahead in most of the rounds. In the first two rounds, Terrell was competitive, but in the third Terrell's eye started to swell, leaving him half-blind for much of the match. By the sixth round Ali was clearly ahead, though Terrell still had moments. The shift came in the seventh round, when Ali landed a left hook that sent Terrell to the ropes, and launched a flurry of blows seeking a knockout. Terrell repelled Ali with his own desperate offensive, but had wobbly legs for the remainder of the match. Terrell landed a hard right hook that forced Ali back to the ropes in turn, causing the announcer to say "Clay is hurt, Terrell is desperately fighting back." The eighth round went solidly to Ali, battering the wobbly and half-blinded Terrell, though Terrell still landed jabs and would jolt Ali with a hook. This state went on for the rest of the fight; in the 13th round, commentator and boxer George Chuvalo commented that Terrell had been unexpectedly hanging on and that Ali looked tired, predicting the fight would end with a decision rather than a knockout, which turned out to be a correct assessment. In the eighth round, Ali taunted Terrell by asking "What's my name?" and calling him "Tom", but ceased to speak to him after that point, not even saying a word to him when the match ended and both boxers went back to their respective corners. The Judges scored the bout 148–138, 148–133, and 148–137, all in favor of Ali. (THAT'S A BEAT DOWN!)
