Harold Lederman continues to complain about Hopkins's marvelous display of the sweet science, and the crowd loudly boos Hopkins, but this just goes to show that the general public has a hard time appreciating greatness.
Hell, even Tesla was hated during his day.
Bernard Hopkins is the Nikola Tesla of boxing.cold blooded.

Anyway I am doing a cumpuclinch.
I have watched the first 4 rounds and the fight is much much better than I remembered. Boy did these two matchup perfectly.
My count so far:
R1: 12
R2: 6
R3: 13
R4: 12
I am taking a break now as I have things to do, but I really look forward to see the rest of it.
R5: 13. Frazier is beginning to get more into this fight scoring with some wicked ribcrunching hooks.
R6: 10
R7: 14
R8: 11. Ali is tiring. Even Cosell thinks Ali is Holding a lot. Frazier scored big in this round.
R9: 13. That was a great round! Not only for clinching lol. I must say that referee Tony Perez is a real clinching mans referee. He separates the fighters ASAP, so they can get time to clinch again quickly.
R10: 14. Ali was hurt in this round. As far as clinching, and that's of course what this is about, they all follow the same pattern where Ali grabs Frazier around the head and locks him.
R11: 13.
R12: 13.
Wauw! That was a terrific fight. Much better than what I recalled.
Lets look at the clinchcount: 12+6+13+12+13+10+14+11+13+14+13+13 = 144.

Compare that with Grabimir throwing a jab and proceding to headlock pov. Then rince and repeat.
The difference is night and day.

So the numbers for Ali-Frazier is lower by some 40 clinches than Wlad-Povetkin. Perez did what he could to maximize the clinchcount by sometimes separating the fighters even though Frazier was working Ali's midsection.
Perez was clearly a clinchingmans referee.

Originally posted by BattlingNelson View PostDifference was primarily that Ali was willing to Trade at midrange and Frazier didn't Care if he should take 3 punches if he could just get close enough to land a big hook. Furthermore Frazier was great at trapping Ali and Ali fired some incredible combinations in a variety nobody can compete with.
