Joe Frazier Vs George Foreman 1973 Complete.avi

Frazier lost his undefeated record of 29--0 and his world championship, at the hands of the unbeaten George Foreman on January 22, 1973, in Kingston, Jamaica. Despite Frazier being the overall favorite, Foreman towered 4" over the shorter, more compact champion, and soon dominated the brief bout as Frazier came in too open. Two minutes into the first round, Frazier was knocked down. After being knocked down a sixth time referee Arthur Mercante stopped the contest. It was the first two knockdowns that were decisive.

Frazier won his next fight, a 12-round tough decision and floored Joe Bugner in London to begin his quest to regain the title. Many felt it Bugner's best career effort.

@tapiaassasin Leotis Martin didn't help himself by losing to low rated Roger Russell. (Plus Yank Durham who'd handled both, thought Leotis would get hurt if he'd fought Frazier).Mac Foster the same losing to Jerry Quarry. Ron Lyle was at best a good fighter but check his record in Box.Rec, look it over carefully then ask yourself if he belonged in the same ring with Joe. Boxing Journalism is hardly an exact science. If it were, these guys would be filthy rich betting the outcome of fights.

@Nickcat5

Leotis Martin earlier on in his career,not to mention the highly toured Mac Foster,including longstanding contender Ron Lyle.And it was noted by boxing journalists following his first fight with Bonavena.

Smoking Joe war ein großer Kämpfer. Nie aufgeben! Aber er war nicht gut auf Foreman eingestellt.

Aber jeder der beiden würde die Klitschkos heute immer noch aus den Socken hauen.

@djk28161 Frazier did one thing that Foreman probably never could have done,Beat Ali. Boxing is about styles. You're a class act! ( Yea sure,& Pro Wrestling is Real also!!) Over & Out!!

[djk28161]

@Nickcat5 HMMMMPPPHHH Frazier is a bozo and jhad no business even being in the same ring as George...Look at the results you dickhead!!!!!

@tapiaassasin Noted by whom,& who did he(Frazier) duck that was such a devastating hitter? Even when Foreman signed to fight him the so-called insiders thought George was being' thrown to the wolves' because he supposedly hadn't proved himself,
