I updated the episode title from "Round Four: The Rent You Pay (1974-2016)" to "Round Four: The Spell Remains (1974-2016)" because it's the title used in the beginning credits of episode 4. It's also used here: https://www.pbs.org/kenburns/muhammad-ali/muhammad-ali-episode-4-full-episode-extras/.
I found websites do vary. Thetvdb uses "Round Four: The Rent You Pay (1974-2016)." But IMDb uses "Round Four: The Spell Remains (1974-2016)."
