On December 11, 1981, Muhammad Ali stepped into the ring one final time. Facing Trevor Berbick in Nassau, Bahamas, the bout was billed as the “Drama in Bahama.” The fight was chaotic before it even began — the venue misplaced the gate key, gloves were missing, and a cowbell had to be used instead of a round bell. Ali, 39 years old and far from his prime, fought bravely but was exhausted by the final round. Berbick won by unanimous decision, closing the curtain on Ali’s legendary career.
Ali admitted afterward: “I think I’m too old. I was slow. I was weak. Nothing but Father Time.” Yet even in defeat, he remained a symbol of resilience, grace, and determination.
And just like Ali knew the importance of staying on his feet, drivers know the importance of staying fueled. Running out of gas is the kind of knockout no one wants.
