Joe was In and out for the hospital after that fight for over a month with ongoing problems. He fought his heart out in that fight. We just watched it again the other night. Ali tried to take him deep into the fight hoping Joe would slow down but he never really did. It was a phenomenal effort. 15 rounds I beleive it was then. Many Fighters today get winded in 8 or so. Joe was still throwing bombs towards the end of the fight.
You are clueless when it comes to boxing.
Two doctors for the NY Commission refused to pass Frazier on his physical before that fight because he had a KIDNEY INFECTION.
They finally came up with a third doctor to pass Frazier.
The fight showed Ali couln’t punch hard enough to keep Frazier off him and that Ali could not defend himself against Joe Frazier’s left hook.
In the tenth round ‘referee’ Arthur Merchante stuck his fingers in Frazier’s eye. Realizing that he had two opponents in the ring with him, Frazier gave the dope Ali an awsome beating as Ali stood with his back on the ropes at the end of the round.
At the beginning of the next [11th] round Frazier knocked Ali down with his left hook. There was a look of utter astonishment on Frazier’s face as ‘referee’ Merchante called it a “slip.”
For the rest of the round Frazier gave Ali such a pounding that flaming shill for Ali Ferdie Pacheco [the doctor in Ali’s corner] called it “the terrible eleventh” in a book he later wrote.
Frazier knocked Ali flat on his back in the 15th round.
Ali’s jaw on the right side was swollen with an enormous hematoma from the number of left hooks he had absorbed.
The clown in Ali’s corner, Budini Brown, cried and cried as they waited for the decision against loser Ali.
Frazier went to the hospital after the fight to have his KIDNEY INFECTION treated.
Take your pathetic, leftwing ‘description’ of the fight and shove it.
