Iīve seen a lot of documentaries about boxers and fights, but this has to be one of the best of all time. Itīs the story of probably the greatest heavyweight fight in the history of the sport: The "Thrilla in Manila". Itīs the story of two men who were friends, but became the greatest enemies. The story of a boxing trilogy that has yet to see itīs kind. About two men that came close to death in a 14 round battle. Itīs also the story of the other man, the man known as Smoking Joe Frazier, who lives in the same gym he trained for the fight 34 years ago, in a small two room apartment in the ghetto of Philadelphia. This documentary has tons of information that might not be known to most viewers, itīs visually stunning and artistic. You need to watch this!
