I've no idea how you managed to score round 5 for Frazier, it was one of the most decisive in the fight. As BoxingBuff rightly said on page 1 of this thread, 'Frazier gave the round away'.

Ali won 14 as well IMO

Funnily enough, my scores are on page 1 of the thread.........and I gave the 14th to Frazier on aggression.

The reason I picked out round 5 with Manny Phresh was because it was arguably the most one sided of Ali's rounds (Frazier didn't do much at all). Scoring that one to Frazier is incomprehensible.

I just noticed you'd gave that to Joe, it certainly wasn't as one-sided as the 5th.

First of all, if you are going to score a fight, you have to score it with the same scoring system that was used at that time. If you don't a lot of fights would come out differently.


In case anyone wants to know the official scorecards for the first Ali vs. Frazier fight "The fight of the Century" read like this:

Arthur Mercante (referee) Frazier 8 rounds, Ali 6 rounds, 1 even
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
A A F F F A A F F A F E F A F

Arthur Aidala Frazier 9 rounds, Ali 6 rounds
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
A A F F F F F F A A F F A A F

Bill Recht Frazier 11 rounds, Ali 4 rounds
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
F A F F A F F F A F F F F A F


The Officials only scored 7 rounds all the same (5-2 Frazier), so in 8 rounds at least 1 of them had it the other way or even, and that is why people have a big difference in scoring this fight. If you score it as to who won the most rounds by most of the judges, it comes out to 9-6 for Frazier, But it could be the other way around as well.


1. - 2-1 Ali
2. - 3-0 Ali
3. - 3-0 Joe
4. - 3-0 Joe
5. - 2-1 Joe
6. - 2-1 Joe
7. - 2-1 Joe
8. - 3-0 Joe
9. - 2-1 Ali
10 - 2-1 Ali
11 - 3-0 Joe
12 - 2-0-1 Joe
13 - 2-1 Ali
14 - 3-0 Ali
15 - 3-0 Joe

I don't remember round by round, but I watched this not too long ago and had it 9-6 Frazier I believe, plus the knockdown.

[IronDanHamza]

I had Fraizer winning convincingly.

And I'll tell you I have never been so happy than when those scorecards were read out.

I want the better film of the fight to be remastered and sold on Blu Ray HD. I'd pay for that!!!

I'd say I've watched it close to a thousand times.
