Betekenis

The third and final fight between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier is widely considered one of the greatest and most brutal bouts in boxing history. Fought in extreme heat in the Philippines, both men were taken to their absolute limits. Ali later called it the closest thing to dying he had ever experienced. The fight ended before the 15th round when Frazier's trainer Eddie Futch stopped the contest to protect his fighter. A defining moment of courage, rivalry and human endurance.
