Original 1971 Boxing Poster - Ali vs Frazier - AWESOME!

This is the poster for the, theater viewing, of the first of 3 fights between Ali (also billed here as Cassius Clay) and the then Heavyweight Champion, "Smokin" Joe Frazier. This poster was folded at one time and there are slight marks at those points. However I sent this piece to be cleaned and linen backed and it's now showing as pretty near mint as there was no damage to the paper. This piece is 28" x 41" and was printed in NY by the Murry Poster Printing co. on 23st - Here is a little history of the fight that I have found on the web at : http://www.saddoboxing.com

The fight started with Ali dancing and Frazier stalking. Ali would try and let Frazier tire himself out but the champion was connecting with hard body shots which slowed Ali down. This allowed Frazier to connect more often with hard left hooks. Ali was staggered in the 11th round and everyone ringside thought he was on his way out but Ali was probably part clowning. Frazier however confirmed his superiority in the 15th round by dropping Ali with a fierce left hook which would have knocked out a horse.

If Ali didn’t have to prove it in his 60s championship days he certainly proved it here and that was he could take one hell of a punch. He rose almost immediately and saw the fight through to the final bell.

When the decision was announced it came as no surprise to anyone. Frazier took a unanimous decision. The fight was so brutal that both men were taken to hospital. Frazier spent a little longer in the hospital which allowed Ali to mention about how much damage he had done although a side of his face was badly swollen.
