Check out the knock down of Joe Frazier in this clip.It must be from the Argentinian television broadcast of that fight,
as it appears to be taken from a different angle then the version usually seen on ESPN Classic.The knock down can be seen better in this.

That is a great clip and view of the Frazier knockdowns.

Loved how the words "out of rules" and "fouls again" were superimposed over parts of that Ali-Bonavena clip. Ali, as usual, got away with a lot in that fight. That sequence of knockdowns in the 15th, with Ali out of control and not keeping his distance, was just wrong. Those second and third knockdowns are a little suspect and may not have even occurred if the ref had kept control.
