love Frazier’s aggressive style, but sadly it played right into Ali’s game plan

Ok, I needed some post fight analysis there. I do not care about Sports center. Why was that fight called?

Frazier's eyes were swollen shut. His corner made him stop.

I can't remember.

He seemed fine. The fight he won, he looked like death, had a broken jaw, puked in the ring I think, and nearly had to be carried out.

The fight was stopped by the doctor , which I believe was complete BS . The fight was fairly close and an epic rematch. Doctor should have let Frazier answer the call for the 15th rd and let the boxers decide who wins

Ali said he had told his guys to cut his gloves off, but Angelo Dundee ignored him. He said "Frazier just quit before I did. I didn't think I could go on."

Thanks for the history on this fight, I did not know how that went down. Honestly, seems pretty shady. Both fighters were beating the hell out of each other, could have went either way.

Eddie Futch, Frazier’s trainer stopped it. Frazier wanted to go out. To quote Futch,”sit down son, it’s over, no one will forget what you did here today.”

Three fighters died on Eddie and joe was already blind in one eye when the other closed.


Watch what Frazier does when Ali goes to ropes

It was the friggin Philippine ref who made it a fair fight you racist. He stopped Ali's clinching crap early in the fight. Watch it. When Ali can't clinch, then it is suddenly a different fight.

If he had been there for Zaire fight, Ali probably loses. That clinchin crap kept Foreman's head down and his body off balance. One of the main reasons he couldn't get shots in on Ali.

Fight number 2 as well. The ref was there to stop the clinching. Slapping Ali's hands down. Ali gave up his body though on that clinch hand side. I cannot imagine how Ali must have felt the next day trying to get out of bed and pissing blood.

Watch how Frazier handles rope a dope. Takes his time and tees off on his sides, arms, and legs. What foreman should’ve done.

No kidding. Foreman would have fractured Ali's liver.
