He was a beast. Foreman destroyed him
Real Apollo vs Drago
Ali-Frazier-Foreman. Best love triangle the world has ever seen
None of these fighters would survive in this generation that we have now
Joe Frazier's resilience and rising after every fall, and Angelo Dundee's screams to stop the match in a painful way, the scene is very painful and sad, George Foreman should have backed off a little and asked the referee to stop the match
Joe was never going to give up, but he was relieved the ref stopped it, not him quitting.
Imma do like everyone else and pretend those two behind the head blows didn’t happen💀
But Frazier was cooked regardless even if he wudda lasted two or three more rounds without getting hit behind the head, so it really didn’t matter much.
I was a second grader in the Philippines when this fight took place. I was so excited to get back home to watch at least the replay on TV. Unfortunately, I found out later on that the fight didn't even last long at all and that Joe was handily KO'd in the 2nd round by this relatively unknown challenger. Being a Frazier fan, like the rest of our family, I was crushed. My wish for a rematch came true a few years later. But Joe never did come up with an answer to George's punching power. My respects go up to both men. What an incredible era of heavyweight boxing. From Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Norton, to Holmes. They are all CHAMPIONS FOREVER.
Foreman has the "PRAYING MANTIS " STYLE ..
Look how he use his arm like a Praying mantis.. to push back , to shift opp momentum .. Praying Mantis all day!!
he would have been counted out after 1.5 míns these days
The refs let that go on far too long by todays standards.
why did the ref warned foreman?
The look in Foreman's eyes was that of a man who will kill you. Frazier realized after the first knockdown, that he was not going to win the fight. He just hoped to survive the fight. You can see not only the shock and disbelief in Fraziers eyes, but the growing fear.
That 4th knockdown, Frazier was looking for the dam door
Ali was watching this fight at home and was rooting for Frazier, until the first Knockdown. He realized then and there that he was going to have to go through Foreman if he wanted his title back.
RIP Joe and George
"DOWN GOES FRAZIER!!!". Who knew this would become a popular catchphrase decades later😂
Le cogneur a eu le dessus sur le baggareur …
👊🏾🔥⚡🎖️Foreman The FireMan
Cosell: " Foreman is a big, strong, boy…?" Really, Cosell, racist, toupé wearing jew, he looks like a big, strong, man, to me, not a boy.
he got grilled
Howard cossel, his head was about to explode 😅😅
That blank stare from George is scary 😨
And people compare Frazier to Tyson 😹😹😹 hell nah Mike would destroy prime foreman
What an absolute surgical beat down. George Foreman in his prime would’ve given Tyson a run for his money. He was one of the hardest hitters ever and could take it as good as he gave it.
No shame on Frazier though. Much respect for continually getting back up. Cool Hand Luke vibes.
Wie Frazier wegläuft und von hinten einen Niederschlag erhält…erbärmlicher geht es nicht mehr…
Фрейзер бы Замочил Тайсона Молодого легко. Но когда Батька выходит на ринг. Все падают.Форман.Я его Люблю. Али Легенда. Джош Несокрушимый!
That Right Didn't Even Touch Dude… But It Was Clean As A Whistle 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆
2:44 Is the perfect example of what real power looks like. He threw a good solid uppercut, not a haymaker, no massive load up, but it looked like he hit Frazier with an anvil when it landed.
Foreman destroyed him and everyone assumed a 32 year old Ali would get destroyed even worse. Wow this highlights Ali's greatness
Ref is super annoying giving Fraziee extra time while talking to Foreman and walking him to his corner instead of just telling him to go.
The announcer called him a big strong boy
George was a gentleman in and out of the ring LOOK HERE, https://youtu.be/QjOxjPE_14g?t=212 HE could've KILLED Frazier, but stopped himself from really doing major damage.
Foreman said of all the fighters, he feared Frazier the most. And he still knocked him out.
Did Foreman even hit Frazier in the first knockdown? Or did Frazier just got dizzy from all the bobbing and weaving?
Два великий заслуженный
I go to my grave thankful that i never in my life had to take a punch from George Foreman
The real greatest of all time.
RIP champ.
Anyone in history who was in the ring with Foreman that night would have landed on the floor. That includes all of the modern fighters especially Tyson. Only one man just took Foreman’s punches. And we refer to him as “The Greatest”. And he learned from this fight. Don’t let a full powered Big George hit you.
I give it too Frazier for getting up that was a beating
And this Frazier easily beat Muhammad Ali 😂😂
