did anyone else see joe frazier last night hitting the bag?

[Alibata]

i missed him on the bag but i thought he looked pretty good on stage. his voice didnt sound bad and he looks genuinely happy when he smiled

and that is really the only thing that matters. I could care less about how he hits the bag.

He was fine singing. It was actually a pleasure to see him on stage because he seemed to be having such a great time and moved pretty damn well.

Watching him hit the heavybag was just so depressing to anyone who's seen footage of Frazier training in his prime. It wasn't just that his punches had no power, but he looked to be having trouble just staying up with each punch thrown. He looked very off balance. Maybe he had a few drinks earlier before the broadcast, but I don't think that's the case.

Joe Frazier was such a great fighter and I have so much love and respect for him that it really saddens me to think of him as frail or vulnerable. Just a few years ago I saw him live on the undercard of one of his daughter's fights and he did a bit of shadow boxing when they called him into the ring. He looked pretty quick and coordinated then, and this was a handful of years ago, so I was totally caught off guard last night.

Let's keep in mind that Joe has diabetes and suffered from high blood pressure all through his career which led to his swelling in the Ali fights.

He actually looks slim compared to his prime so he's doing damn fine for an aging diabetic.
