Its easily the second greatest fight I've ever watched. The first being Corrales/Castillo 1.
Two fights where the fighters threw skill in the bushes and fought mainly off of will and determination.
Exactly Frazier was too far gone in his hatred...he wanted to destroy Ali at the price of his own life..which damn near happened
I still get chills down my spine when Dr. Ferdie Pacheco talmbout "Round 14 is the closest thing I've seen to somebody killing someone...he was very close to killing him"
The Thrilla in Manila documentary from HBO was OUTSTANDING in detailing the events of it
the fights ive put above the thrilla in manila were castillo-corrales I and the merqui sosa-prince charles williams I and II fights..but all of those fights were in the same..except they weren't fueled by pure anger like thrilla in manila was
