Thrilla in Manilla - The Judges Scorecards hmm
Does anyone agree with judges scorecards in this fight? All 3 had Ali up by a big margin.
Carlos Padilla 60-66 | judge: Larry Nadayag 62-66 | judge: Alfredo Quiazon 62-67
I presume those cards mean 10-4, 8-4-2 and 8-3-3?
I just watched this fight on ESPN and had Frazier clearly up after 14. I had it 9-5.
There were only 2 close rounds where I had trouble finding a winner but tbh I had to give them both to Frazier cos he was controlling the pace of the fight, putting extra effort in and throwing more. But if you score those 2 close ones to Ali you can have a 7-7. 8-6 Frazier is fine too. I thought Frazier outworked and outhustled Ali for the most part. Did judges just give rounds to Ali cos he was Ali or something?
I dont see how Ali is ahead let alone walking it? Frazier clearly won 7 rounds for me, totally blitzed all the mid rounds imo.
