I think you summed it up nicely.
Ali&...Seymour!<br /><br />I think you summed it up nicely. <br /><br />Ali's guard did drop. I think it often did because no one could hit him, he was too quick. Except for Joe. <br /><br />And Ali could sure take a punch. Possibly part of the reason he is in the same he's in today.Scottius Maximushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497918826005463738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215722.post-41507439632104632352011-03-12T21:43:19.936-06:002011-03-12T21:43:19.936-06:00I saw this fight on tv in Australia.

His ability to change his style for each fight is unparalleled in my limited exposure to the sport. <br />Both boxers were tired, and I believe Frazier had one good punch left in him. Ali's guard dropped and Frazier connected with that punch. A few seconds later, Ali's skills show him avoiding a follow-up punch after the count.<br />Neither boxer was disgraced in this bout, Frazier was a worthy winner, and we are witnessing 2 of the best boxers ever in the ring -- no sign of fixes, it appeared to be a straight contest.<br />One point about Ali, is that I always felt he was underscored by referees [not in this bout] -- his punching and reflexes were so fast that they often seemed to miss point-scoring hits -- and Ali was often aiming for points shots rather than knockouts.<br />Seymour KnuttsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
