In terms of the fights though..

Yeah Wilder vs Stiverne was a bit monotonous in places, not saying it was great but Ali vs Frazier were also boring.

One thing Wilder/Stiverne delivered was high tension. You had that feeling like it was gonna all end at any moment.

With Frazier/Ali, it was so weak there was no chance 2 total featherfists could ever KO each other. Where's the HW excitement in that!

And what about all the clinching? It was the next worst clinchfest after Wlad/Povetkin.
Not Ali/Frazier 1, there was some excitement, tension, and lots of money changing hands over that fight. The way I remember it. Lol
Ok, I wasn't around for it. I'm too young.

Perhaps that is not fair since had I been around I probably would have felt it too of course.

The pace of Ali/Frazier 1 was higher from both fighters whereas Widler/Stiverne was kind of 1-sided in terms of "punches thrown" lol.

Still, 25% of the whole fight (FOTC) was a wrestle.

I seen it several times and it isn't real impressive from a non-political view.

Stiverne was a punch bag recently but in FOTC, both Ali AND Frazier were merely punch bags for each other.
