This fight took place in the day in the Philippines so it could air at night in the US. I have been to Manila twice. The humidity is brutal, like Florida on steroids. I don't know how Ali and Frazier came out of this fight alive.
What a back n forth WAR OF ATTRITION! A Drama In Three Acts! Ali dominates early. Frazier evens up the fight in act two. Act III-- Ali slowly-- almost imperceptively-- in the 11th round Muhammad Ali takes over and starts to give Joe Frazier a frightening beating especially in rounds 13 and 14. Angelo Dundee notices in Round 11 that Ali was starting to manhandle Frazier as early as the 11th round--noticing that Ali was able to walk Frazier off their clinches from the ropes to the center of the ring--but it really became pronounced every round after that. Especially in rounds 13 and 14. Joe Frazier's manager and trainer Eddie Futch saw the incredible punishment Frazier was absorbing in rounds 11 12 and ESPECIALLY rounds 13 and 14. Ali's punches as and aggregate were extremely damaging, having swelled Joe's eyes up to where Joe effectively couldn't see the punches coming. Eddie knew it was going to be only more of the same in Round 15 and there was not going to be any "Miracle knock out". Frazier was down at least three or four rounds at that point Frazier badly hurt in rounds 13 and 14 spitting blood in the corner. Ali's punches closed Joe Frazier's eyes. Eddie fudge knew he should not send anybody out to fight Muhammad Ali when his fighter can't see the punches coming. Joe Frazier hurt battered on the stool knocked out on a technical knockout in the 14th round! WHAT A FIGHT. What an incredible fight! Remember these guys were fighting in 100° Heat-- at least- ringside Joe Frazier claims ringside lights and the extra lights for the closed-circuit broadcast throughout the world had it closer to 110 115 degrees+++ with the high humidity of Manila the Philippine Islands these conditions make the fact that this was such a highly pitched battle for the entire fight all the more incredible. Both Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier were completely exhausted after this fight.
@@RogerYeahmon thankfully we know you are in the vast minority as most considerate one of the greatest fights of all time in any division. But without people like yourself having the wrong view how would us people that are right know the difference?
He visto decenas de veces esta pelea y aun me cuesta creer que Fraqzier sobreviviera a esa tormenta de golpes, Alí le tiro todo lo que tenía y aún así no pudo derribarlo. Ciego, sin fuerzas pero con un corazón de león Smockey lanzaba sus golpes con toda la mala fe del mundo. Un duelo de titanes en el que ninguno de los dos dejó nada para después, qué pelea
All boxers, including those who have not yet been born, should learn real boxing from the fight: Ali-Frazer and Ali-Foreman in the jungles of Zaire, 1973.
Como era grande a facilidade do Alí para socar, movimentos tão leves que parecem até que não tem potência, e Frazier um cara incansável, com os seus movimentos de esquivas sem parar. O Tyson, é admirador de Alí, mas ele tem muito dos estilo do Frazier.
How did Ali take all of those liver shots? How did Frazier take all those shots to the chin and temple? WAR!!! WAR!!! They would of killed each other if they'd of let it go to the end,there wouldn't of been a winner.
ROIDS. All pro's did it, not blaming but its obvious. Also steroids were not illegal in the United States during 1960s through early 1980s when Ali was fighting professionally.
Most of the liver shots were aimed to Ali's hips. They hurt, but not as much as a liver shot. They also hurt the day after where Ali said he can barely walk because he felt like he got beaten up with a baseball bat.
Ali had this tremendous amount of will to take punishment. He took punches from guys like Norton, Shavers, Foreman, and Frazier just to show everyone he could. That he wasn't just a pretty boy with a big mouth.
Eddie Dutch knew how badly Smoking Joe hated losing to Ali and when he saw the badly swollen, almost closed eye of Joe at the end of round 13 he nearly called it off but Joe protested "I will get him boss,just one more round,I can feel his tiredness"but the next round only worsened Joe's condition as he could hardly see Ali's lightening fast jabs and punches and Eddie Dutch wasn't having it no more "You know what Joe ,this is it" but a badly battered and swollen faced Joe needed protested "Noooooo"but a vastly experienced trainer in Eddie Futch knew he had to save his fighter from himself,he told him " Son no one will forget what you did in this ring tonight" having said that he waved off the fight to the extreme relief of Ali who was beyond exhaustion.Both men were never the same after the fight, they left a part of themselves in the ring that day
It's Eddie Futch not Dutch, Futch made a big mistake by stopping this fight because Ali had quit after the 14th round and Dundee told him to just stay on your stool when the bell sounds for the 15th. Futch had put a spy near Ali's corner (Willie Monroe) and he was giving hand signals to Futch during the fight to indicate different things but when he tried to signal Futch that Ali had quit nobody from Frazier's corner looked over to him. Frazier would have won if only one of them had looked over, he just had to stand up for the last round to win the fight.
@@okaforogemdi5097 I stated that he was using hand signals to communicate, they do this in many sports including baseball and tennis. This information is well known in boxing and was mentioned in the documentary "thriller in manilla" the reporter confirmed the story with Angelo Dundee and Ali's doctor that Ali had indeed told him to cut the gloves off when he returned to his corner after the 14th round. He was totally spent after trying to finish off Frazier in that round. It's okay to be an Ali fan but facts are facts and you should at least research this.
At the end of the 14th round, the referee had to walk frazier back to his corner. Did you see that too? Just like crossing an old person to the other side of the street. Joe was in bad, bad shape. The fight had to be stopped. Futch did the right thing. Had he not, joe gets koed and maybe severely injured.
No one fight… daaammm you blind… it’s perhaps thé most brutal fight of all time… and if you know the context… it was very hot weather with high humidity..man think about that please
Guys interested in boxing should watch this match, to me it stands out to be one of the greatest boxing warfares in history. We nolonger have such fights, nothing that much to learn from current fight in the heavy weight bouts
Yes o. Joe Frazier was tough for Ali to win. I think Frazier improved him after being beaten by foreman. Frazier is a tough and dogged fighter. Kudos to Frazier as well
Two of the greatest monsters in the contemporary boxing. And the arm speed of Ali, and Frazier who advances, advances, advances, his mouth bleeding, falters, falters, 2,3 times, but refused to give up and, until stopped by his trainer, is standing, as nothing had happened. Panting. RIP, my two favorites.
I m young boy. My grandpa wake me up for all this great fights . Early morning germany . Now i m 62. Never forget Muhammed Ali, Cassius Clay the greatest off all time.
Me and Joe Pass! I first became aware of Joe Pass in 1963 when his “Catch Me” album was reviewed in the UK magazine BMG ( banjo, mandolin, guitar ) . The reviewer was the esteemed John Duarte who gave Joe’s album a great review. John,
The heat wore Ali out and he was too tired to take Frazier out but the number of punches he landed was astounding if only by sheer volume. Frazier always charging and looking like the aggressor but back then it was about boxing and scoring not taking 8 or 9 punches to land one at best.
Joe Frazier was ready to lose an eye for this fight. His right eye was so close to being permanently blinded which is why Futch threw the towel. Frazied never forgave him til his death iirc.
UAAK, Ali worked thru all Fraziers bobbing n weaving, and connecting with those punches , that's y he is considered one of the greatest fighters of all time, too bad all those hits to the head were catastrophic for any boxer, it does take a toll>
Tenía 11 años cuando vi esta pelea, pero QUE PELEA, aún me acuerdo de esta batalla épica, eso fue toma y dame todo el tiempo, parecía que no se cansaban, sin duda la mejor pelea de TODOS LOS TIEMPOS, grande Alí, grande Frazier, lo dejaron todo en el ring, jamás olvidare este combate, qué portento!!!!
why do people think Frazier had a weak chin?. He took every thing Ali had and never really faltered. Ali doesn't hit that hard, but he's shown he can KO dudes with volume. He KOd some real tough guys too. Also, I am not trying to say Frazier had a top tier chin, but it has to be a little better than average.
@@illumiNOTme326 search some boxing forums. I've read so many fantasy fight threads regarding Joe Frazier. You'll often see people regard his chin as weak, with some even calling it a glass chin. Often, it seems the Foreman fight is often referenced as good evidence but I often look at that fight to prove to opposite. Sure, he got dropped a ton but we are talking young Foreman. Most fighters getting hit cleanly by him usually go straight to sleep
@@acegibson9533 I've been hearing it for a long time. And agree. The only thing you can say is that he didn't fight a lot of power punchers but the dude got up every time Foreman brute strengthed him to the canvas.
Ali wasn't a big puncher that's why he struggles a lot with Frazier styles which is very big hearts . But yet he against the odds . The greatest rivalry ever "Ali vs Frazier "
"I didn't believe Ali is the GOAT but after seeing the Thrilla in Manila and his 1974 fight, my mind changed completely. There's no doubt now-Ali is truly 'The Ali.'"
My 3 heavyweight fights off all time: 1. Rumble in the jungle 2. Thrilla in Manilla 3. (Controversial one Fury vs Wilder III) Whats everyone elses top 3? Bare in mind i never got thr privilege to watch the top 2 live I was born 1995...
March 8 1971 Fight of the Century still #1 for me. Frazier wins against a younger Ali both undefeated before. This bout here is so memorable too, the Thrilla maybe the most brutal heavyweight fight ever. Ali the clear winner but at such a cost.
La técnica depurada de Ali, lanzaba todos los golpes con perfecto dominio . Elegante, erguido. El estilo de Frazier , metiendo la cabeza, ( permitido en el profesionalismo) lanzando guantazos . No hay comparación. Tal vez con una pegada más fuerte se hubiera evitado extensas peleas. Para mí, el mejor boxeador de todos los tiempos.
When Frazier beat AlI in 1971 he was much faster. Towards the end of that fight he was beating AlI to the punch. As Frazier got older he came into fights heavier and relied on punching power. Both Ali and Foreman were stronger than Frazier in my opinion, they also had a 5” reach advantage, a 3.5” height advantage and better stamina.
Ali was a polished fighter not a warrior. Joe Frazier was a warrior. Ali holding most of the fight. Frazier always the agressor very raely backing up till maybe the later rounds and even then always coming back in. I think Ali himself said he was about to quit after the 14 th round but Frazier's corner quit first. If this was 10 or 12 rounder, like most are today, Frazier wins. As i see it Frazier took the fight to Ali 10 or 11 of the rounds of this fight while Ali holding and grabbing the back of Frazier's head. The ref was constantly slapping Ali's glove off of Frazier's head. To me Joe was a beast all heart.
The fight was even after 10 Rounds Muhammad Ali won the 11th and 12th rounds and would have beaten Joe seven rounds to five had it only been a 12 round fight. Muhammad Ali gave Joe a frightening beating how do you think Joe's eyes got closed by Magic?? No it was constant constant pounding by Muhammad Ali that closed both of Joe Frazier's eyes and made it impossible for Joe to see the punches coming! Add on to that the brutal beating I only gave Joe in rounds 13 and 14 and there's no real argument about who won this best of the three trilogy
joe always the aggressor even based on the interview ali gave he was going to quit but joe quit first. watch the end of the fight lai on his stool you can see he was done and only joe quitting first gave him that fight in my opinion@@dylanchangedeverythingfore1312
Ali not a warrior ?, He is a man who facing Sonny Liston Twice, Floyd Patterson, George Foreman, Ken Norton 3 Times, Joe Frazier 3 Times, Earnie Shavers, Oscar Bonavena, Larry Holmes, and Ron Lyle.
@@muhammadfajri2687 you misunderstand - Ali was not a warrior in the sense to stand and go toe to toe with the big punchers he fought, he won using his head and using stick and move techniques while all of the fighters you mention stood in front of him and just kept coming forward, in my opinion they were warriors. They didn't hit and run they hit, got hit and kept coming forward.
@@dp6217 ok, but it sound like you make your own defintion of a "warrior", for me, Ali is a warrior because he never dodge anyone, he never avoid any fighter in any era. Nowadays we often hear about "fantasy fight", what happen if George Foreman face Earnie Shavers, or Joe Frazier against Sonny Liston. Ali face them all. Believe me, if Rocky Marciano didn't retire, Ali Will fight him.
I was present at the world tae kwon do championship (WTF) in 1995 in the same arena. It was 90*, 92% humidity, 3x3 minute rounds and the fighters were struggeling to cope. Imagine then the conditions for Ali/Frasier fight, facing 106*, the same humidity and going 14x3 minute rounds. Insane....!
Wasn't it like 110deg in there too? This is the best fight or atleast the best boxing match ever right? Never noticed how similar Tyson style is to Fraziers style is this fight, man's eating them shots and then winding up! Like how do u walk thru that and keep going forward?
@@Ffeoli1039 he apparently landed way more than enough by the last third of the fight Ali's punches had done so much damage to Joe that his face look like a gargoyle and his eyes were closed. The beating Ali put on Joe in the eleventh and Twelfth and especially for the 13th and the 14th round frightening to the point where Joe Frazier's face was more swollen than any face I've seen and his eyes were closed he was spitting blood between rounds Eddie futch God bless him saved Joe Frazier from more punishment Joe Frazier by that point was down in points by at least four or five points that was going to be no-win for Fraser there was going to be no Miracle knockout and Eddie saved Joe from another three minutes of severe punishment from Muhammad Ali as Eddie futch stated having been in the opposite corner of Muhammad Ali so many times Muhammad Ali always somehow reaches deep down in the 15th round and it would have been more of the same for Joe Frazier more incredible punishment in even possible injury or death so Eddie saved Joe Frazier definitely for more punishment and possible severe injury or even death.
IMO, this was ALi's last great fight---after this , it was all rope a dope and downhill. He really looked like a champ in this fight and he should've retired the year after instead of staying on til 1980 and having those depressing defeats. He might have avoided the parkinsons which was later to kill him. so sad.
Yeah looked really good in the Liston fights too. Frazier was a gutsy fighter but foreman n Norton destroyed him. Clay was overrated especially with his big mouth Joe Louis would knock him out
Seharusnya Ali menghadapi petinju yang sering kepanya goyangannya naik turun nunduk-nunduk , ali mukulnya jangan di selaraskan atau di paskan di kepala nya jou freezer, pukulnynya aga kebawah , jadinya begitu kepalanya freezer nunduk ke bawah langsung kena pukul, kalau ali mukulnya di selajurkan dengan kepalanya frizere, pasti tidak akan kena ,karena kepalanya freezer bergoyang-goyang naik turun terus.
The hand's speed of ali is unreal
This fight took place in the day in the Philippines so it could air at night in the US. I have been to Manila twice. The humidity is brutal, like Florida on steroids. I don't know how Ali and Frazier came out of this fight alive.
I live in a city just beside Manila (QC) and I can confirm that this is true lmao. You can sweat by just standing still in the shade these days.
@@wasabi5338the fight was in QC I believe, just called thrilla in Manila cause of a rhyming boast Ali did.
Much more enjoyable with an unbiased commentator that talks here and there.
What a back n forth WAR OF ATTRITION!
A Drama In Three Acts! Ali dominates early. Frazier evens up the fight in act two.
Act III-- Ali slowly-- almost imperceptively-- in the 11th round Muhammad Ali takes over and starts to give Joe Frazier a frightening beating especially in rounds 13 and 14.

Arguably the greatest fight in heavyweight history. Ali could reach deep. It's hard to disagree with those who say he was the GOAT.

Frazier took unnecessary punishment

what were the scorecards after the 14th?
Frazier is not human so many punches he received still standing

joe always the aggressor even based on the interview ali gave he was going to quit but joe quit first. watch the end of the fight lai on his stool you can see he was done and only joe quitting first gave him that fight in my opinion@@dylanchangedeverythingfore1312
Ali not a warrior ?, He is a man who facing Sonny Liston Twice, Floyd Patterson, George Foreman, Ken Norton 3 Times, Joe Frazier 3 Times, Earnie Shavers, Oscar Bonavena, Larry Holmes, and Ron Lyle.
@@muhammadfajri2687 you misunderstand - Ali was not a warrior in the sense to stand and go toe to toe with the big punchers he fought, he won using his head and using stick and move techniques while all of the fighters you mention stood in front of him and just kept coming forward, in my opinion they were warriors. They didn't hit and run they hit, got hit and kept coming forward.
@@dp6217 ok, but it sound like you make your own defintion of a "warrior", for me, Ali is a warrior because he never dodge anyone, he never avoid any fighter in any era. Nowadays we often hear about "fantasy fight", what happen if George Foreman face Earnie Shavers, or Joe Frazier against Sonny Liston. Ali face them all. Believe me, if Rocky Marciano didn't retire, Ali Will fight him.
God bless you joe Frazier champion forever
Stupid
No ali is beter
@@alialamoudi9729Nah, same level
Cannot believe this was in the manila
Sampai hingga sekarang menetap disana di luar negeri
アリは、フレイジャーとの、この恐るべき歴史に残る激闘、名勝負３試合（15R.12R.14R）を戦い抜きファンを驚かせ、心を惹きつけた。第３戦目は衛星中継で興奮しながら見た。…この試合、勝者アリも自らの身体能力、脳を著しく痛めつけたであろう。歴史的ヘビー級名選手、強打者同士、あれほどの激闘であれほどのラウンドで数多くのヘビー級パンチを被弾すれば、人間の身体が傷まないはずがない。
今更ながら、アリ、フレイジャーに哀悼の意を表します🙇
I was present at the world tae kwon do championship (WTF) in 1995 in the same arena.
It was 90*, 92% humidity, 3x3 minute rounds and the fighters were struggeling to cope.
Imagine then the conditions for Ali/Frasier fight, facing 106*, the same humidity and going 14x3 minute rounds.
Insane....!
My favourite
Mohammed ali greatest hits ❤😢
Wow!!!!
Jeo Frazier greatest heavyweight world ever produced despite height disadvantage he was most courgeous boxer ever lived
Watching idol
Wasn't it like 110deg in there too? This is the best fight or atleast the best boxing match ever right?
Never noticed how similar Tyson style is to Fraziers style is this fight, man's eating them shots and then winding up! Like how do u walk thru that and keep going forward?
Only Tyson would never be able to take all that
이들이 잇어 행복햇고 가슴 설래곤햇다 무엇이던 예술이될 수잇음을 보여둔 이들이다!!!!
Frazier was an animale.. but ali Was the king ❤
Ali
Friezer
Forman
Will remain the greatest boxers in history ❤❤❤
2:57 here Ali is missing most of his punches.
his defense and head movement are so underrated. His match with Chuvalo is his best defensive performance if you ask me.
@@Ffeoli1039 he apparently landed way more than enough by the last third of the fight Ali's punches had done so much damage to Joe that his face look like a gargoyle and his eyes were closed. The beating Ali put on Joe in the eleventh and Twelfth and especially for the 13th and the 14th round frightening to the point where Joe Frazier's face was more swollen than any face I've seen and his eyes were closed he was spitting blood between rounds Eddie futch God bless him saved Joe Frazier from more punishment Joe Frazier by that point was down in points by at least four or five points that was going to be no-win for Fraser there was going to be no Miracle knockout and Eddie saved Joe from another three minutes of severe punishment from Muhammad Ali as Eddie futch stated having been in the opposite corner of Muhammad Ali so many times Muhammad Ali always somehow reaches deep down in the 15th round and it would have been more of the same for Joe Frazier more incredible punishment in even possible injury or death so Eddie saved Joe Frazier definitely for more punishment and possible severe injury or even death.
@@dylanchangedeverythingfore1312 creo que ali dijo en una entrevista, "yo no pensaba salir en el 15 asalto y del rincon de joe tiraron la toalla"
Ali had no defence for Joe's left hook. Tyson would have knock out Ali but Lennox , Holyfield, Riddick would have beat Joe easily.
I have never watch like this
../ محمد علي le plus grand champion de la box
Mantap...
ضربات كلاي جميله وكانه يتدرب على كيس رمل جعل من فريز كيس للتمرين
If Frazier could knock out Ali then Rocky sure could knock out Ali at 100% fact.
IMO, this was ALi's last great fight---after this , it was all rope a dope and downhill. He really looked like a champ in this fight and he should've retired the year after instead of staying on til 1980 and having those depressing defeats. He might have avoided the parkinsons which was later to kill him. so sad.
Сен 😊😊😊😅
Yeah looked really good in the Liston fights too. Frazier was a gutsy fighter but foreman n Norton destroyed him. Clay was overrated especially with his big mouth Joe Louis would knock him out
Chill @@joannsissy4768
Do you guys think the fight should be stopped at round 14?
The commentator is not stressing Ali's headshot scoring against Frazier.
Seharusnya Ali menghadapi petinju yang sering kepanya goyangannya naik turun nunduk-nunduk , ali mukulnya jangan di selaraskan atau di paskan di kepala nya jou freezer, pukulnynya aga kebawah , jadinya begitu kepalanya freezer nunduk ke bawah langsung kena pukul, kalau ali mukulnya di selajurkan dengan kepalanya frizere, pasti tidak akan kena ,karena kepalanya freezer bergoyang-goyang naik turun terus.
Ali laying on the ropes, imagine what prime Tyson would do to him, wouldn't be pretty after that
They held this fight at 3am. Could the time have something to do with the no defense pace?
Ali was greatest ever 👌👌👌👌
35 minutes of pure wailing on the skull of a Bull
Explains the meaning of 'old school'
The best knockout was the fight with foreman knowing that foreman is the strongest fist of all Ali's opponents.
Earnie shavers was the strongest of Ali's opponents in his career
What a match
Mohammed ali tiger chap❤
Ali put out his eyes. Towards the end he let him slide. Shows the compassion Ali had.
What a fight this was! The best fight in boxing history hands down!
Frazier ate a lot of leather in this fight!
