Daniel Jacobs v. Peter Quillin

was trying to get tickets but they jacked it up for anything decent. those same $160 seats were 100 bucks for other fights. plus looking at the map its a solid chance they are doing something shady here.

why do they have to double ticket prices. i wanna go but not THAT much:francis:

check 1iota.com just in case they're faking.

So after I watched the Duran-Sugar-Hagler-Hearns foursome weeks ago, I finally watched the Frazier-Ali-Foreman threesome (not in the right order but still) and it was really enjoyable. Well except for Ali calling Joe a gorilla and stuff :stopitslime: but all in all, great matchups.

One few questions for the connaisseurs though :
- why was Frazier dominated like that by Foreman ? Was it only because of Foreman's size compared to Smokin's smaller frame or simply because Frazier wasn't good against sluggers ? I ask because Ali was more or less the same size as Foreman and Frazier was very successful at landing his left hook against him. But when he faced Foreman he was demolished something serious (surprised the ref didn't end the fight after the 3rd KD because it seemed obvious, the punishment would have kept going).

- was Frazier's bobbing and weaving that effective at the time ? It looked "predictable" because the rhythm seemed (to me watching that on TV, at least) constant with no break or nothing... :ld:

- was Foreman just a swinging machine ? :huhldup: No hate but in those fights the man was looking like a bull who just saw red and then went hard as much as possible. I mean, his last couple of rounds against Ali, he was like some kind of terminator with a mission to follow and swing at Ali no matter what :lolbron: From a technical POV, that kinda looked bad :ld:

- why Foreman-Ali is remembered as Ali getting dominated throughout the whole fight to get the KO at the end because Foreman was tired ? I watched the fight and (I'm not good at scoring rounds :whoa:) I had the impression that Ali was winning (above all because of how much he connected to George's head with his jab and he scored numerous straights imo).

To put it simply Foreman threw them heavy looping shots that fall right in Fraziers work space.
