Do you feel sorry for Joe Frazier when you watch this fight?

he was trying so hard-----to avoid the first fight's horror..........do you feel sorry for him?

Bullshit post.

All I know about this, is not the fight, but Frazier shaven head. Shaven headed black people were rare in 1975. Not like nowadays

Certainly wasn't rare where I'm from.

Yeah, agreed. He thinks Lagos, Abuja and Kano are the whole world. When I was in Port Harcourt in 2009 for the Book Festival I saw his "petunia ass" … He was barred from the Festival on the grounds of his illiteracy! MmooooAKKKAKKKAKKKAKKKA

Very tough to view Triple 'B'.

George Foreman was more refined here. And much more patient.

Smokin' Joe boxed fairly well in '2' of those Rounds.

Point To be Noticed >

Smokin' Joe looked vastly smaller than George Foreman, yet he weighed in a {1/2} pound heavier.

224 1/2 to 224.

It is truly amazing how easy it was for George Foreman to land that job and it seemed as if no matter how Frazier moved his head Foreman could throw or anticipate where to throw the follow up punch
there were times when foreman throws 10 or 12 jabs in a row and he would land all 12 no matter how Frazier Bobbed or weaved. It just seemed like Joe Frazier had the absolute worst style imaginable for a guy like George Foreman. George Foreman look so relaxed in this fight I have never seen a fighter look more relaxed and if he could have gone into the ring in zaire in this manner with this totally relaxed personality and if he could have thrown 40 or 50 or 60 jabs per round I think he would a split Muhammad Ali's face wide open

Joe was past his peak after the fight of the century and probably took George too lightly but stylewise Frazier was perfect for Big George. Watching Foreman against Bugner near the end of his career was more sad as he would have smashed him at his best.
