Thrilla in Manila on now.
Or, as Ali called it, the closest thing to dying...

shouldn't have clinched so much.

fight would have made 3 rounds.

no idea who'd win, but it would have ended quick.

Tonight's Ali-Frazier Trilogy on ESPN has been GREAT sports programming. VERY wise decision to show this Trilogy this evening.

Man, you had to hit Frazier with a hammer to get him out of your face.

I don't know what a ref would do with a fight like this today?

Insane amounts of punishment.

He always amazes me in these fights. He never seems to stop. Never grabs. Resting for him was throwing body shots.

ESPN needs to buying rights to every great boxing match ever because this is their Saturday night programming for the foreseeable future, and it's fricking awesome. I want more.

I was just screaming at the TV "Joe, knock his effing arse out!"

Yeah, I know who wins, but man are these fights incredible.

I can't imagine how long these guys would have been medically banned from boxing had Cat Scan been available after fights during their hospital stays.

Frazier looked like hell after fight 1. Broken jaw. you know they both probably had brain swelling and Ali was probably shitting or pissing blood.

Every time Ali flurries, Frazier just eats it, and hits him with two body shots.

Both these guys looked like they liked to suffer a little bit. Sitting on stools.

MOUTHPIECE!!
