    SBS ONE. It's a repeat but well worth a second look.
    The story of the fight between Ali and Frazier 1hr 40mins.
    Should suit insomniacs and night owls.

    10.10 pm EST [QLD] check your guides.

    the doco certainly shed a different light on Ali.
    The way he treated Joe after all that Joe had done for him in regards to helping him get his license back is terrible..
    Ali said it was ment to promote the fight but going off wat was shown he took it much to far!

    Also interesting to see that Ali was askin his corner to take his gloves off and stop the fightat the end of the 14th while Joe was asking to continue.

    I wonder how history would look at both Smokin' Joe and Ali had Eddie Futch held out a lil longer n allowed Joe a chance at the 15th round?

    A draw would have been fitting
