Yes it is. Frazier doesn't use his right hand much in the sparring clip. Big shocker.
Bobick for his part was a decent boxer who just could not take a punch, a problem for a heavyweight. But he can talk well enough. He can comment on USA boxing and what's out there at heavyweight. Does he?

that was level 1 light 'mental' sparring, where u rather project the punches in your mind than really letting your hands go, still i l'd imagine that constant non stop twitch & feint from smokin' joe is scary af in there, as you never know when he's gonna let one rip!

You can see why Foreman was so successful against Frazier, he bobbed and weaved a lot but often ducked, the uppercut was a good shot against him.

British Pathe has put a lot of rare, fascinating boxing clips online. Too bad their newsreels are only a minute or two long.
