    I had it 9-6 to Frazier. But that's just numbers, it's clear enough that he was the better man on the night and that's what really matters. Had been a travesty if Ali won that one.

    What I think is interesting is that FOTC and Manilla developed more or less exactly in the same way during the first 10 rds, but while Ali lay on the ropes and got caught in the 11:th in FOTC he started to move more in Manilla in the same round and eventually took over. The difference between those two fights are quite small, actually.
