George Foreman vs Joe Frazier HD

Joe Frazier defends his Heavyweight Championship against the murderous punching George Foreman. Foreman shockingly destroys Frazier by knocking him down 6 times in 2 rounds. It's an all time legendary fight and career defining performance for Big George Foreman. I mixed in the commentary call from the two legendary announcers, Don Dunphy and Howard Cosell. If you notice, I slowly start off the fight with mostly Don Dunphy announcing the fight. But as the fight gets more dramatic Howard Cosell's infamous "Down goes Frazier" can be heard. As the realization of Frazier losing becomes more eminent I switch the call back to the Don Dunphy call as the intensity subsides and the looming tone of sadness arises.

It's important to note Frazier's training wasn't at the same intensity as it was in the past, and the grueling fight with Ali definitely took a little out of Frazier. At any rate, Foreman makes a thunderous impact as a powerful and formidable fighter in the Heavyweight division.

"Do not remember Joe Frazier as the man who was knocked down six times. Remember Joe Frazier as the man who got back up six times."

Even though he lost to Foreman, years later Frazier actually was a little humorous about the fight when a reporter asked a question about it. Reporter: "What was your biggest mistake in the fight with George Foreman?" Frazier: "Signing that contract." 😂

Joe Frazier was a true warrior, complete gladiator. I can not say enough good things about the man, true credit to the sport. Rest in peace, Joe, you'll always be my favorite gladiator.

Getting up quickly 6 times ; this the most impressive fact in this battle

George was a monster. He knocked Frazier around like a punching bag. His reach and strength were tremendous. 

Watching Ali take down Foreman after this fight was pretty incredible. He took all the punishment Foreman could give, survived, and saved enough energy to overwhelm the giant

[mazenalowais]

Never saw a fight for freizer where he was hurt like this and the fact he got up fast what a heart

[IronTapeProductions]

Thanks... the early 70's was definitely the golden era of HW history. Most believe it to be the best HW era. I am one of those people, although the 90's is the next best and has a very strong case. Foreman was a champion in that era too. The guy won in two of the toughest eras ever. Says a lot about the man.

Just imagine how great Ali was to stand & take those punches before knocking down Foreman, Simply the greatest of all time!!!!
Respect for Foreman & Frazier too!

[ArcaneAzmadi]

While it was a savagely one-sided match and Big George was amazing, you've just got to admire Frazier for continuing to stand up when he could barely even see straight. That would have taken balls of solid rock.

Frazier even getting up after the 2:05 punch is insane

[JamieTransNyc]

I admire how Foreman kept looking at Frazier's corner and pleading with them to stop the fight, even when it delayed the 8-count from starting.

I don't think enough has been said about how great this video is. Really nice, thank you IronTapeProductions.

[Alexthegreat]

That uppercut at 2:05 was just brutal!

Frazier showed some courage and toughness getting up after a shot like that.

Seeing this, is prime example of what life is about. It’s not about how many times you fall. As long as you simply just try fighting…. Then you truly understand the true meaning of life. Respect for both !

[mayyaah]

50 years back, still one of the legendary fights!!

[doshannringo]

Joe Frazier was one tough man! Getting up every time for 6 times! Phew! And George you were one wildly solid puncher.!

[alvalankerofficial]

Frazier went out on his shield in both fights, as well in the Ali fights. what a fuckin warrior.

[LordofDublin]

Joe was a CHAMPION.

This clip say it is so, Even though Foreman knocked him to the canvas '6' times Joe got up '6' times.

This man was heart, courage, and a noble competitor.

R.I.P., Joe.

From an Ali AND Frazier fan. Both were warriors.

The most shockingly devastating fight of all time, hands down!
Of course NOW everyone knows how incredible big George was, but Foreman was a severe underdog in that fight and he punched a lifetime of concussions into one of the greatest fighters of all time in just 2 rounds
