The Fight of the Century
IN THIS era of over-hyped fights and paper
champions, promoters artfully build fights with catchy superlatives and
clever nicknames. At times, the fight itself cannot match its bombastic
buildup. However, there remains one fight that truly lived up to it's
billing. The first contest between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier was simply
called "The Fight of the Century."

Video Tape Available on HBO:
Ali versus Frazier III, 1975. It was the match that could have overturned
Ali's career, and one of the most savage fights in boxing history. Ali was
confident, perhaps too confident, if that could ever be said of him. And
Frazier was ready. A well-trained fighter with a bulldog attitude. On
October 1, 1975, 14 grueling rounds of muscle, sweat, and hard punches
that no one expected, no one could have predicted, and no one would ever
forget. Format: VHS; Rating: Not Rated; Run time
(minutes): 78

White footage; Video Format: NTSC;
