Joe Frazier -vs- Muhammad Ali II 1/28/74 (abc) part 4

Held in between their two other bouts, Fight of the Century and Thrilla in Manila, the fight was considered by many fans and experts the most insignificant fight of their rivalry. But this does not mean the fight itself was insignificant ; quite the contrary: Ali wanted to avenge his loss to Frazier in their first fight, and a world title try at Heavyweight champion George Foreman, who had dethroned Frazier, was at stake. Their first and third fights became part of boxing's lore, but most viewers considered the second fight to be entertaining as well.

@lumpingcat ali is the one grabing joe and all he could do in that situation is go for his body

[musymusic]

Only talking about Ali...

@xricardosilvax Firstly.. Would you rather be in Ali or Fraziers condition after the fight? Secondly, name me 1 fight where a prime Ali held his opponent as frequent as this? Also, are you suggesting he used this strategy all the time? I remember a certain fight where he fought on the ropes for 3/4. Finally, Joe is a much smaller inside fighter and notice how Ali didnt even go for the body.. How do you expect Ali to throw at Joes head whilst it is buried in his belly button.

Oh my god! why is Joe keep using cheap body blows everytime he grabs Ali?...

[turk0571]
