Ringside Videos's video: Muhammad Ali vs Joe Frazier II

January 28, 1974 Madison Square Garden, New York, NY ABC Wide World of Sports Broadcast Ali vs. Frazier II, billed as Super Fight II, was the second of three bouts between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. Ali would come out on top in the rematch with a unanimous decision victory. Unlike the first and third bouts, which were 15-rounders for the World Heavyweight Championship, the second fight was a 12-rounder for the North American Boxing Federation heavyweight title. Ali, the No. 1 contender, was out to avenge his 1971 loss to Frazier and secure a shot at World Heavyweight Champion George Foreman, who had dethroned Frazier the previous January. Frazier, the No. 2 contender, wanted a chance to regain the championship and avenge his 1973 defeat to Foreman, the sole blemish on his record. On January 23, Ali and Frazier visited ABC studios in New York City to review their first fight with commentator Howard Cosell for ABC's Wide World of Sports, which would air two days before their rematch. This would result in the infamous studio brawl that resulted in both fighters being fined $5,000 by the New York State Athletic Commission.
