Hi. I'm working on a project for a class and need to obtain the classic ABC Howard Cosell call of the Frazier-Foreman I fight in 1973 in Jamaica. (The fight as a whole, not just that famous first knockdown call.) Really I need the audio, though the video with audio would of course work too. Is there any way to obtain this on short notice--somewhere to download it from the Internet, something I might be able to rent from a video store, etc.? Thanks.

Establish a good rep on this site, contribute to the boards and you ask for it nicely, you'll get it within a day!

that was one shocking fight!

Thank you. I doubt I'll be able to become a regular poster and establish much of a reputation on such short notice. Hopefully someone will take pity and let me know where it can be downloaded. (I probably would have been a lot better able to contribute a few years ago. I used to follow the sport very closely and especially love the history, but have drifted away from it in recent years.)

Do you need intro and post fight interviews? I can upload it for you but it only has the fight with the original commentator, the rest is just interviews for some show.

Thanks Tony. Mostly I'm just looking for the original Cosell broadcast of the fight itself. Any pre or post-fight material from that same broadcast would be a welcome addition. Other material from a different show about the fight I would be less likely to have use for, but it might help.

(It's for a film editing class. We're supposed to take a bunch of old western footage, including an extended fistfight sequence, and re-edit it with new sound. I got the idea to try a humor piece where I sync it with the Cosell Frazier-Foreman fight call, because it's a short fight with a lot of action and multiple knockdowns, Cosell's verbal histrionics are powerful and famous, etc.)

Alright I'm uploading it now, give it some time

Damn I don't think this is Cosell, the guy sounds pretty much just like him but I don't hear the "Down goes Frazier!" part.

Hmm, that's odd. I wonder if it's someone impersonating Cosell (not many people naturally sound like that), but if so why would they change the most famous sequence?
