THRILLA in MANILA | Muhammad Ali vs Joe Frazier 3 | 51 Years On | Fight Highlights | World Boxing

Published

on



Muhammad Ali 48–2 (34 KO) vs. Joe Frazier 32–2 (27 KO) III, billed as the Thrilla in Manila, was the third and final boxing match between undisputed champion Muhammad Ali, and former champion Joe Frazier, for the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world.

The first fight between Frazier and Ali–– promoted as the “Fight of the Century”–– took place on March 8, 1971, in New York’s Madison Square Garden. Frazier was the undefeated champion and won by unanimous decision over the previously undefeated former champion Ali, who had been stripped of his titles for refusing to enter the draft for the Vietnam War.

Their showdown was a fast-paced, 15-round bout, with Frazier scoring the fight’s only knockdown, at the beginning of the final round.

When the rivals met in a January 1974 rematch, neither was champion; Frazier had suffered a stunning second-round knockout by George Foreman a year earlier, and Ali had two controversial split bouts with Ken Norton. In a promotional appearance before the second fight, the two had scuffled in an ABC studio during an interview segment with Howard Cosell.

There were controversial aspects to the fight. In the second round, Ali struck Frazier with a hard right hand, which backed him up. Referee Tony Perez stepped between the fighters, signifying the end of the round, even though there were about 25 seconds left. In so doing, he gave Frazier time to regain his bearings and continue fighting. Perez also failed to contain Ali’s tactic of illegally holding and pulling down his opponent’s neck in the clinches, which helped Ali to smother Frazier, and gain the 12-round decision. This became a major issue in selecting the referee for the Manila bout.

👀”I put a lot of money on the third‼️” | David Haye after KO win #Boxing #BoxingHistory #OnThisDay

👀”I put a lot of money on the third‼️” | 📆16 Years Ago

Following one of the worst fights in British boxing history, WBA heavyweight champion David Haye, announced to the crowd that he had purposely waited to till the third round to KO Audley Harrison.

Haye said. “I put a lot of money on the third round and a lot of my friends and family did. I didn’t want to let them down by doing him too early.”

The former cruiserweight champion quickly walked back the comments, clarifying that he did not personally place a bet in a betting shop or online, and instead merely told people his prediction that it would end in the third round.

BBBC secretary Robert Smith accepted Haye’s “categorical” denial that he directly or indirectly wagered on the outcome, and no formal disciplinary action or suspension was taken against Haye.
