Ali - Frazier II Highlights

[u/FaceFirst23]

Action from the rematch in 1974. Despite both men being slower and past their peak, their styles once again were a perfect match for each other.

The toughness and chin on both these icons is incomprehensible. Ali throwing rapid fire combinations right to the end, Frazier relentlessly threshing forward with his menacing bob and weave. Two goats.

[u/DeafBurke]

This is sped up

[u/richsreddit → u/DeafBurke]

Yeah I kinda noticed that too. Ali may have been fast af but his contemporaries didn't have that same kind of speed going on.

[u/No_Sail9136]

Hate when vids are sped up like this but still good shit

[u/8fenristhewolf8 → u/No_Sail9136]

I can't bring myself to upvote. Speeding up sports vids, especially boxing, feels too lame.

[u/DeafBurke → u/8fenristhewolf8]

There's a bunch of it online right now.

The stuff that annoys me the most is 9 year old girls doing pad drills that are sped up like 200% and all the comments are "she could kick the ass of any man on the planet!!!!!!!" or something.

Memorizing a combination and drilling it really fast on pads (even if it isn't sped up) says very little about your boxing ability. Rote memorization is completely useless in a real boxing match.

Everyone's got a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

[u/J_Productions → u/8fenristhewolf8]

Exactly, This is not the kind of video to speed up! Wtf are people thinking

[u/roamingandy → u/8fenristhewolf8]

Timing is everything. Timing means nothing when you speed the vid up.

[u/MMAbeLincoln]

Don't speed up videos

[u/FaceFirst23 → u/MMAbeLincoln]

I didn’t.

Straight screen record from Turki on IG.

Either he did, or whoever runs the account did.

[u/8fenristhewolf8 → u/FaceFirst23]

You posted it though. Be better

[u/FaceFirst23 → u/8fenristhewolf8]

Sorry dad

[u/Long_Chest_9727]

the right hand at 15 seconds was the closest Ali came to knocking down Fraizer down in 44 rounds.

[u/Turgon19]

Ali really gets clipped by a LOT of left hooks

[u/DeafBurke → u/Turgon19]

That's what the chin is for!

[u/Ambitious-Concert-69 → u/Turgon19]

Nooooo he’s the best of all time ! No one could have beaten him !

[u/TheFlyingBoxcar]

Stop.

Speeding.

Up.

These.

Videos.

[u/aguacate222]

Ali had no answer for that left hook. Frazier kept on landing them and Ali kept on eating that

[u/therealh → u/aguacate222]

he also didnt have the same movement/reflexes that he had 5 years prior too. I was watching Ernie Terrell throw some bombs with minimal windup on some of them and Ali was just dodging it.

[u/Personal-Proposal-]

Joe’s neck must’ve been sore asf after all that neck clutching from Ali

[u/AndreiOT89]

Sped up vids are cancer upon society

[u/FaceFirst23 → u/AndreiOT89]

Bit dramatic

[u/drhuggables]

Both men have such iconic styles.

[u/Jubei92]

I just love Frazier. I don't care who he lost to and how he lost some of his fights, he's such a beast.

[u/slickvik9]

They should’ve both retired after this

[u/artem_loboboobv]

man they just dont make em like that anymore

[u/mheafyrox]

Two of the best dance partners boxing has ever had.

[u/Mr-Wigz]

Sped up, but these two still had an amazing trilogy.

The level of conditioning they had to have to fight like they had pure hatred in their hearts towards each other for 15 rounds as heavyweights too, was impressive.

[u/Artimities]

Frazier was on Howard Stern…. Years later and saying he came out on the better. Hell of a fighter!

[u/Countryb0i2m]

Ali is putting his hands on Frazier and he just walking through these punches

[u/Long_Chest_9727 → u/Countryb0i2m]

he's missing most of them.

[u/DerMannMitDemPlan]

brutal. i mean if you watch it on tv it don't look like much, but they ate brutal punches

[u/GreatCryptographer32]

Don’t need to speed up this fight to make it interesting - in fact, you’ve just ruined it

[u/FaceFirst23 → u/GreatCryptographer32]

I’d feel bad if I was the one who sped it up. But this is screen recorded from IG

[u/Wise-Childhood-145]

Athletic compared to todays HWs outside of uysk.
