Marion Conner >
"I thought I could rattle Joe if I went out and hit him with my Sunday Punch. He was just too big.
My punches bounced off of him like 'Peas-off-of-a-Sherman Tank'. I had no chance."

This is not how the fight ended.

Frazier backed Conner to the ropes and landed a left hook that buckled Conner's legs and sent him "down" against the ropes. The referee sent Frazier to a neutral corner but as he was doing so Conner steadied himself and the referee wiped his gloves and sent him to action without a count. Frazier was on him like a hungry wolf and chased him around the ring, landing a succession of left hooks, jabs, and the odd right to the body. Frazier trapped Conner in a corner where he landed a perfect left hook that shook Conner. Conner worked his way out of the corner and as he did Frazier landed a massive left hook that dropped Conner full on his back in the middle of the ring. He got up immediately, nearly knocking the ref over in the process. The ref turned to pick up the count and Conner staggered backwards to a corner, away from the referee. Conner stood straight as an arrow as the referee counted him out and nodded his acceptance as the referee waved off the fight. He had enough.

It helps to have actually seen what you are writing about instead of pulling it out of your ass.

Well.....Il Duce heads up our "fiction" dept. Thanks for the camera view.

There are '3' different accounts of the fight.

Marion Conner says you are 'wrong and a liar'.

Marion said he went down, and got to one knee.

You never mentioned that Mr. One-Post'.

How you were able to contact Mr Conner so quickly, and get his take on this, is simply astounding.

Ace reporting! In any universe........

[BoxBuzz]

You're ALWAYS talkin' to these guys. You eve fight any of 'em?

[bodyblow999]

I talked to the 'Thunderbolt' years ago about this fight.

'Body Blow' is wrong, and he's calling Mr. Conner a liar in his own account of the bout.

Marion said he got to 'one-knee', and then when he got up he knocked Referee - Billy Connelly down.

Marion 'Thunderbolt' Conner

I said he nearly knocked him down, which he did. He had his head between his legs and tripped up the ref. Its ok, you can admit you are wrong. Im not reading one of three accounts Im watching the film. Try and argue with this dipstick:

Hmm the mathematical equation posed.

Il Duce owned yet again.

[bodyblow999]

Did you guys notice how Il Duce edited his original description of the fight AFTER I posted the video and then gave a second by second description matching the footage?

Clown.

That's because he is an idiot.

I noticed, he will say he was "evolving" it. Makes sense, as Fiction is always a moving target. Only history remains static.

Great photo.

Can someone identify the fellow on the right?

[BoxBuzz]

Gotta hand it to you Duce.. I was wondering if you knew.

You know as many facts as you make up. And that's considerable on both ends. When will you

match just facts all up in a single topic? I look forward to it.

Did you ever participate in the sport either within the ropes or as part of a training or management

team? Were you brutally KO'd in a way that cut your career short? Could explain a few things.

And where did you get your flair for creative writing? Stephen King?

[BoxBuzz]

Such comments are beneath a man of your apparent imagination.

However here is one from Irvin Cobb, that may describe the Duce.

“He is a self-made man and worships his creator.”Irvin S Cobb

Joe Frazier Too Much For 'Thunderbolt'

Joe hammers in a left-hook on Marion Conner.

Did Ali really advise this guy to lose 20 lbs and go light-heavyweight?

Dont get mad Il Duce, just be happy you have finally been able to see the fight and correct your earlier mistakes.
