Muhammad Ali vs Joe Frazier 3 (‘The Thrilla in Manila’) HBO 1080p 60fps Color Adjustment

The third, final and most brutal war between the two living legends. The Araneta Coliseum in The Philippines had no air conditioning and this just exacerbated the situation for both warriors, along with the already monumentally difficult pace the fighters had set themselves. Ali maintained that this fight was the closest thing to death he’d experienced. Date: October 1st 1975. This is the original broadcast of the “Thrilla in Manila” between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, produced by Don King Productions and distributed via HBO’s closed-circuit television network in 1975.
