Daughters of Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. Honestly I had no idea that she was the daughter of Smokin Joe. Never had any idea that this fight had taken place. Should have had that fight in Manilla

I don't see how. It was very big, like one of Ali's biggest fights just off name value. I never knew she was a boxer befor that. I remember that fight being on the cover of Jet Magazine.

I don't think Frazier-Lyde, a very strong woman, fought again after the fight with Ali.
It was billed as "Ali-Frazier IV."

I stand corrected.
I guess her post-Ali fights flew under the radar. Isn't she an attorney?

Yeah she is. Did she fight like her dad? I see her nickname is "Sister Smoke" lol

From the tapes I've seenof her she had her father's ring style, just like Laila tried to emulate her dad.
I recall at one point, Joe actually sued his daughter while she was acting as his lawyer. Not sure what came of that.
She resembled her father not only in style but facially. I always thought, Laila looked much more like her mother, Veronica, than her famous dad.

You can see Daddy in this picture:
