Ali vs Frazier III: Scorecards?

If it is my post you're referring to, I said the first 10 was a carbon copy of the first 10 in the first fight.

 

According to Boxrec the judges had it 66-60, 66-62, 67-62 in Ali's favour.

 

Wow, I had forgotten the distance they put between these two score-wise, 5-6 points seems abit stretched. Guess its time to view and score it again, no problem as it was such a great fight.

 

3 or 4 points.

But listening to that documentry you'd think Frazier won that fight.

 

I had it 10-4, but that was one of the first fights I ever scored, so my bias for Ali could account for the wideness at which I had it. I certainly don't see how Joe was ahead, or even close on the scorecards though.

 

Frazier's ever increasing propensity to swell up prevented the last 4 rounds being similar to FOTC. Also,Ali had slightly more left than Joe.

 

I had it 8 rounds to 6 rounds for Muhammad Ali, taking the last two.

 

I think he had more left because he paced himself better and beacuse he left himself less open for counters from Joe. Instead of getting caught and almost KO'd in rd 11, as he did in FOTC, he started to slowly turn the tide.

 

I wish that Muhammad had trained a bit harder for that one. He underestimated Frazier. For their second fight,Ali was ready and sharp as a razor.

 

Just to clarify,I was talking about the Manilla fight when it came to Muhammad's scanty training.

 

Nobody else had Frazier ahead then??

 

Heh, well, up to the 13th and 14th round, those were big for Ali. That's what made me have him up.
I actually had Ali up by 3 points.
