Bout official on December 30, 1970.
"Fight of the Century" was the promotional nickname given to this first match between champion Joe Frazier (26-0, 23 KOs) and challenger Muhammad Ali (31-0, 26 KOs), held on March 8, 1971 at New York's Madison Square Garden.
The term "Fight of the Century" had been used three times before. [1]
Both Ali and Frazier are in the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
Unofficial AP scorecard: 9-5-1 Frazier.
Unofficial UPI scorecard: 7-7-1 Draw.

According to referee Arthur Mercante, the following conversation took place in the ring:
"You know, you're in here with the God tonight" - Ali's attempt to psyche out Frazier
"If you are God, you're in the wrong place tonight" - Frazier's reply

Each man was guaranteed $2.5 million dollars, the largest single payday for any entertainer or athlete at the time. Tickets to the Garden would be made available to the general public by mail on a first come first served basis. Prices in the arena ranged from $20 for a balcony seat to $150 for ringside. Hundreds of other locations throughout the U.S. and Canada would screen the fight via closed circuit television to fans paying $5 to $15.

Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use

Fair use
Additionally, the fair use defense to copyright infringement was codified for the first time in section 107 of the 1976 Act. Fair use was not a novel proposition in 1976, however, as federal courts had been using a common law form of the doctrine since the 1840s (an English version of fair use appeared much earlier). The Act codified this common law doctrine with little modification. Under section 107, the fair use of a copyrighted work is not copyright infringement, even if such use technically violates section 106. While fair use explicitly applies to use of copyrighted work for criticism, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research purposes, the defense is not limited to these areas. The Act gives four factors to be considered to determine whether a particular use is a fair use: the purpose and character of the use (commercial or educational, transformative or reproductive); the nature of the copyrighted work (fictional or factual, the degree of creativity); the amount and substantiality of the portion of the original work used; and the effect of the use upon the market (or potential market) for the original work.

I watch the fight in 1971. One of the greatest boxing matches in boxing history? A brutal fight, both champions well conditioned. Frazier and Ali put on a performance of a lifetime! How ali got up from a knockdown in the 15th round was shocking for me, any other fighter that got hit with Joe Frazier's famous left hook would still be on the canvas asleep? Cassius Clay aka (Muhammad Ali) simply the greatest!! Joe Frazier will always be smokin Joe. The man with the famous left hook of all time!! RIP Champs! You will be forever missed. Your legacy will live forever!!

As a great fan of Ali, Frazier earned my respect. Great fight but Frazier took this one. I think Ali was surprised how good he was.

How the hell does Ali get up from that left hook in the 15th coupled with the fatigue and battering they both took? Incredible for both of them. 15 rounds is absolutely insane.

Bu maçı ilk kez rahmetli babamla öğretmenler derneğinde 9 yaşında izlemistim.Ondan sonra Türkiye saati ile sabah 5 te kalkar izlerdik. Muhammed Ali' nin ayak hareketleri, Jo Frazier' in vücut eskivleri mükemmeldi ve sonuçta Ali kaybetmis ve üzülmüştüm. Bana boksu sevdiren, yapmak zorunda olduğum kavgalarda hiç dayak yememem ondan öğrendiğim tekniklerledir. Nurlar içinde yatsın.😢

I remember watching this fight as a 13 y.o. I gained huge respect for both men, especially Ali for the way he handled the defeat with such good grace.
Great video. 👍👍

Those left hooks and bodywork was devastating. Frazier had relentless determination and an unwavering will to win. That bodywork definitely slowed Ali down. As much trash as Ali talked he always wanted to win

What a great historical fight. I never see Ali so upset against his opponent. Frazier is very brave boxer.

Saw it in TV in 197x. Grandma woke me up. In Germany it was about 3:00 or so am.

Both fighters were past their primes in 71' this should've happened in late '69, but Ali was still in exile. 🥊

On a 10 point must system, i scored the bout 143-141 for Frazier. The 11th and 15th were 2 point rounds, and were the difference that won it for the champion.

Regardless of the opening rd or so, Ali was strictly an arm-puncher. Frazier threw from the floor---all his left hooks hurt. The TV anchors called it for Ali, but in the end justice prevailed & Ali went down hard. The later fights were only for money. Great post!
