Ali vs Frazier III – The Thrilla in ManilaFight Date: October 1,1975Production Date: 1998Run Time: 51:13October 1st, 1975, Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier meet in Manilla for their third epic battle.
NBC Sports put together this special program for its “Greatest Bouts of All-Time” Series, which originally aired in the early 1990’s.
Hosted by Marv Alpert and the “Fight Doctor” Ferdie Pachecho, the two review the bout round by round with commentary from Frazier, Angelo Dundee, Eddie Futch, and the referee Carlos Padilla.
It is very well done, with a good introduction to the fight, the controversy that surrounded it, Frazier’s personal hatred of Ali, and of course the exciting bout itself.
The fight is spectacular, Ali taking the early rounds, Frazier taking over the middle rounds, and then the slugfest finish! Both fighters gave everything of themselves in this their last fight.
Although I personally believe their first fight in 1971 was better, this is certainly a fight worth every frame of film.
It is certainly one of Ali’s greatest fights.
What is Martial arts ?
Martial arts are codified systems and traditions of combat practiced for a number of reasons such as self-defense; military and law enforcement applications; competition; physical, mental, and spiritual development; entertainment; and the preservation of a nation’s intangible cultural heritage.
Although the term martial art has become associated with the fighting arts of East Asia, it originally referred to the combat systems of Europe as early as the 1550s. The term is derived from Latin and means “arts of Mars”, the Roman god of war. Some authors have argued that fighting arts or fighting systems would be more appropriate on the basis that many martial arts were never “martial” in the sense of being used or created by professional warriors.
