Are there any films of Joe Frazier vs Doug Jones?

[BoxBuzz]

Sounds like it was a one sided beat down that also set attendance records. Does any film exist?

Buzz,

I've asked this same question on several forums and I think one individual (klompton, possibly?) has said he has seen a brief film of the fight.

Now that I think about it, I vaguely recall Gran also making a comment about a possible film.

I would love to see the film if it exists. Sports Illustrated did a pretty good article about the fight. It was supposed to be a pretty impressive one punch left hook kayo as far as I know.

I know some film of Frazier and Billy Daniels in '66 exists as the highlights were shown on my hometown sports show a day or two afterwards.

Seems like a Frazier-Jones film would exist. You are right in that it had a good gate for back in that era. Philly's Convention Hall, if I recall correctly.

A short clip of Frazier-Jones exists. I wouldnt be surprised to hear about more, but I have a short clip it and thats all Ive ever seen. I know, or rather Ive heard from reliable sources, that a clip of Frazier-Daniels (Billy not Terry) exists. I think I have seen a short clip of it but Im not 100% certain its Frazier-Daniels.

Correction-

Frazier-Jones was held at the Philadelphia Arena, not Convention Hall.

Attendance was 7,203 and the gate was $46,432, both records for the Arena.

Another film I would love to see would be Tony Doyle vs Frazier.

That fight was the grand opening fight at The Spectrum back in '67.

I kind of figured Doyle might give Frazier some trouble, but Joe took him out in just a few rounds.

Wonder whatever happened to Tony Doyle? He was pretty promising at one point back in the '60s.

Buzz, sorry if I hijacked your thread, but your topic brings back memories of my favorite fighter and era in boxing.

If there is it is rare, it isn't on my Frazier career DVD set.

Where'd you acquire that?

I have two minute and 50 seconds of this fight (not showing the KO).
A full fight film should exist, but Where? Somewhere I have read that the fight was to be televised locally, but the deal fell through on the day of the fight.

A friend of mine, I'm not sure if he does it anymore but I'll shoot him a text if you want. I have Frazier, Hagler, Duran, Hearns, Holmes, Morales, Holyfield & Arguello.
