Very tough fight for both men, Joe would be floored, and beaten up the first 6 rounds, then make a comeback, and catch Louis wth the left hook knocking him out in the 11th round.. They both brutalize each other while it lasts, Frazier was always a glutton for punishment..
at first I thought Louis would have a field day with little Joe but I think at some point, little Joe connects and sends Louis down. Still, I like Louis between 5 & 12
give Louis credit, he had faster hands and the most accurate finisher ever. The only punch Louis would have to contend with was the left hook and JL had a few variations of that punch as well as the right. Exciting few rounds but even Frazier said the Brown Bomber and Marciano were the only 2 guys that could beat him in his prime
What comes to my mind here are the right hands Quarry landed on Joe's head in their first bout, they were clean and frequent in the first two rounds. Jerry had a punch but not like Joe's, would Frazier have walked through Louis's in the same way because he certainly was going to be tagged even after getting the smoke going.
