Joe Frazier {1970} vs. Sam McVea {1911}

[Bill Paxtom]

'Round 9'

Sam Mcvea comes out of his corner like a 'Lightning Bolt' and swarms over
Smokin' Joe who is very slow coming out of his corner.

Sam throws a barrage of punches on Joe, who is trapped in his own Corner.

Sam lands a 'right-left' to Joe's head, and then clocks Joe with a short left-hook
to the jaw at the {0:20 Mark}. Joe is stunned.

Sam then adds in a 'left-right-left' to the top of Joe's head, and Joe goes down
in a squatting position at the {0:25 Mark}. But Joe does not touch the canvas.

The Referee jumps in to prevent Sam from hitting Joe again.

The Referee then gives Joe an '8-Count'.



The Sam McVea corner is 'screaming' at the Referee for stepping in when Joe was
stunned, but not on the canvas.

The action resumes at the {0:35 Mark}.

Sam comes across the Ring like a 'Rampaging Rhino', and unloads a barrage of
short power punches on Joe. Joe wobbles, but withstands the series of punches.

Suddenly at the {1:20 Mark} Sam looks arm-weary from over-punching. Joe gets
low, and rams into Sam's body like a 'blocking Fullback'.

Joe stays in close for the next 40-Seconds and tries to maul Sam. At the {2:00 Mark}
Joe starts sending in left-hooks to Sam's ribs.

Sam who looks tired, is bothered by the hard punches, and drapes his arms over Joe
and mauls him to bide time.

Joe gets free at the {2:30 Mark}, and scores with a few decent wide left-hooks over
the last session of the Round.
