Nope, just offerin' up some contrary opinion. Just in case you didn't know it, Perez was criticized by both Ali and Frazier fans after the second go round. Though you can be counted on to be quite myopic on this matter.

Ali and Joe are both in my top five favorite fighters of all time. Both examples of the best of the best.

Any other off base assumptions you'd like to offer up?

Duce, as a further explanation, Buzz still clings to the wet dream that Ali had Frazier in real trouble in the second round and that only the incompetence of Perez in ending the round early saved Joe.



But who knows, maybe Ali was fixin' to come with the anchor punch.

I saw the second bout between Joe Frazier and Jerry Quarry on television. Referee Joe Louis simply let a virtually helpless Quarry take far too much punishment instead of stopping the bout. In other words, I feel that Louis did a terrible job as a referee in the bout.

I understand this love affair that Yancey and Il Duce are engaged in. Based on their mutual loathing of a particular boxer. And I have no idea what may have happened had Perez officiated properly in their second encounter....it was simply a mistake...or series of mistakes. No one knows what the outcome would have been had he done a good job.

I just pointed out that mistakes were made....that interfered with both men's business. I recognize that.

For those who don't.....it's all good. It's easy to have one's passion interfere with the recognition of superfluous complicating facts, physics, and photographic evidence.

'Joe Frazier To Take On Jimmy Ellis, In A Battle Of Former Champions'

'Smokin' Joe Frazier and Jimmy Ellis have signed to fight in Melbourne, Australia on Sunday - March 2, 1975
in a 12-Round Heavyweight Bout.

The just turned 31 year-old - Joe Frazier will receive a Fight Purse of $327,000.

Former Champion, Jimmy Ellis will receive a Fight Purse of $98,000 plus Expenses. Jimmy will turn Age 35 on February 24, 1975.

I've always thought Jimmy was used as a willing sacrificial lamb in order to ascertain just how much Frazier had left and how much of a threat he would be to Ali in a future fight.
