This strategy had appeared to work in Ali's favor in his defeat of George Foreman. Frazier had skill, confidence, stamina and the character to persevere in difficult circumstances.

Ali used this tactic to keep Frazier from getting inside and enable himself to get needed rest during his victory in their second meeting. Futch claimed that Ali had done this 133 times in that fight without being penalized. He also had done so in their first meeting, and did it while facing the taller Foreman in his win over him in Zaire, leaving little doubt as to his intentions for the upcoming bout in Manila. Sensing trouble, Futch moved to block (Ali-Foreman ref) Zach Clayton as referee by enlisting the aid of Philadelphia mayor <a href="/wiki/Frank_Rizzo" title="Frank Rizzo">Frank Rizzo</a>. The mayor refused to let Clayton out of his duties as a Philadelphia civil service employee to go referee the fight. Futch also warned Filipino authorities that Ali was going to mar what was to be a great event for their nation by constantly tying up Frazier illegally. He advised them to assign one of their countrymen to referee the bout, stating that this would reflect well on the Philippines, and be a source of pride for its people. Futch and Filipino officials (who bought in heavily to the idea) brushed aside complaints from <a href="/wiki/Don_King" title="Don King">Don King</a> that a Filipino referee would be too small to handle a heavyweight fight.

Benton said, "My expression to Joe was what you've got to do is stay on top of him, and hit the son of a bitch anywhere, hit him on the hips, hit him on the legs.

If you slow them down, he cannot do what he wants to do."<sup id="cite_ref-BBCFilms_16-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BBCFilms-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Hitting below the waist, according to the rules of all sanctioning bodies, is equally as illegal as holding behind the head. </p><p>The Ali camp used the championship as leverage in negotiations and won out on two key points. The ring size of 21 feet (6.4 m) square allowed him the ability to move and circle the ring if he so chose, which would enable him to use his superior boxing skills to his advantage. He also got his preference for 8-ounce (230 g) gloves, which were smaller and less padded than those used in most heavyweight bouts. According to Ali's ring doctor, Ferdie Pacheco, Ali planned to take advantage of Frazier's reputation as a slow starter, and use his superior reach and hand speed to attack Frazier exclusively with punches to the head in the early rounds in the hopes of scoring a knockout, or at least doing enough damage to Frazier to prevent him from fighting effectively as the bout wore on.<sup id="cite_ref-BBCFilms_16-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BBCFilms-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Fight_details">Fight details</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Thrilla_in_Manila&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Fight details"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Fight_of_the_Century" title="Fight of the Century">Fight of the Century</a> and <a href="/wiki/Muhammad_Ali_vs._Joe_Frazier_II" title="Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier II">Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier II</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Araneta_Coliseum_1960s.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/Araneta_Coliseum_1960s.jpg/220px-Araneta_Coliseum_1960s.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="160" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/Araneta_Coliseum_1960s.jpg/330px-Araneta_Coliseum_1960s.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/Araneta_Coliseum_1960s.jpg/440px-Araneta_Coliseum_1960s.jpg 2x" data-file-width="604" data-file-height="438" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Smart_Araneta_Coliseum" class="mw-redirect" title="Smart Araneta Coliseum">Araneta Coliseum</a></figcaption></figure> <p>In order to accommodate an international viewing audience, the fight took place at 10:00<span class="nowrap"> </span>a.m. local time.

Several times, Ali made circular hand gestures at Frazier to encourage him closer.<sup id="cite_ref-BBCFilms_16-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BBCFilms-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>During round 3, Ali began using the "rope-a-dope", a strategy in which he used the ropes for support and rest while allowing his opponent to expend energy throwing punches. When it was effective, Ali would eventually spin off the ropes and unleash a volley of punches in rapid succession against an arm-weary opponent. In Manila, it did not always work out that way. Frazier landed his first good body punches of the fight in the 3rd round with Ali pinned in the corner. Due to his general lack of reach and arthritic right elbow, Frazier needed to be close to Ali to hit him with frequency, and the rope-a-dope enabled him to do that. About two minutes into the round, Ali threw a succession of hard punches, many of which missed. Commenting for the BBC, Harry Carpenter said, "I don't know when I've seen Ali in as aggressive a mood as this. He really looks as if he wants to nail Frazier to the canvas for once and all."<sup id="cite_ref-BBCFilms_16-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BBCFilms-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>During the fifth round, Frazier's timing and the rhythm of his bobbing and weaving improved. He was able to avoid the oncoming fists of the champion and, for the first time in the fight, land solid left hooks to Ali's head. Ali spent much of the round along the ropes. According to his trainer, Angelo Dundee, this "was the worst thing he could do because he's making Joe pick up momentum where he could drive those shots to the body."<sup id="cite_ref-NBCSports_21-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NBCSports-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Ali's method of self-defense also worsened noticeably in the fifth. Boxing journalist <a href="/wiki/Jerry_Izenberg" title="Jerry Izenberg">Jerry Izenberg</a>, who was ringside, said, "Somewhere about the 4th or 5th round Joe hit him with a right hand—I didn't think Joe could tie his shoes with his right hand—and Ali pulls back and says 'You don't have no right hand, you can't do that.' and bing! he hits him with another right hand. Suddenly Ali had to think 'Well there are two hands in this fight on the other side'—that was very important."<sup id="cite_ref-BBCFilms_16-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BBCFilms-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> His guard also visibly lowered in this round as a result of the vicious body attack he was absorbing. The net effect was that Ali became much more exposed to Frazier's most lethal <span class="nowrap">punch —</span> his left hook.<sup id="cite_ref-NBCSports_21-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NBCSports-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Indeed, shortly after the bell rang to start the 6th round Frazier landed a thunderous left hook which thudded against the right side of Ali's face. Ali was knocked back by the force of the blow, and landed in the ropes behind him. He did not appear dazed or groggy, but was visibly stiff in his body movements while backing away from the oncoming Frazier, and continuing to throw punches of his own. Seconds later, Frazier landed a tremendous, whipping left hook to Ali's head. Again Ali landed in the ropes behind him, but he only gave the appearance of being slightly dazed, and stiff legged. Though he had taken blows that would have felled a lesser or less committed fighter, Ali remained standing and was able to finish the round without being knocked down. Years later, watching the event on video, Frazier shook his head at the sight of Ali withstanding the powerful blows. Jerry Izenberg observed, "They were tremendous hooks, and you have to understand, normal fighters would not have continued—it would have been over."<sup id="cite_ref-BBCFilms_16-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BBCFilms-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> According to Ed Schuyler of <a href="/wiki/Associated_Press" title="Associated Press">Associated Press</a>, who was present at ringside, Ali reacted to Frazier's sixth-round barrage by saying (at the start of the next round), "They told me Joe Frazier was washed up," to which Frazier retorted: "They lied."<sup id="cite_ref-Guardian_17-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Guardian-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>As the bout wore on it became clear that despite his belief in the utility of the rope-a-dope, when Ali had his back against the ropes, Frazier had the advantage. Smokin' Joe was able to wear down his opponent with body punches, left hooks to the head, and occasionally, short, chopping right hands. Meanwhile, the long-armed champion had a difficult time getting much power into his punches while fighting on the inside. Dundee, who detested the rope-a-dope (never more so than in Manila) constantly beseeched his fighter to "get off the goddamn ropes!" Beginning at the start of round 7, Ali managed to do so effectively for about a round and a half, and was able to best Frazier in exhausting toe-to-toe exchanges during the opening minute of round 8—described on the telecast as "a big rally by Ali."<sup id="cite_ref-NBCSports_21-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NBCSports-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Later in that round, an arm-weary Ali began to be beaten to the punch by the challenger. During the final minute of round 8, Ali sagged against the ropes in a neutral corner as Frazier landed a series of punches to his body and head. On the broadcast, Dunphy excitedly told his audience: "Frazier may have evened up the round!" with about 30 seconds to go.<sup id="cite_ref-NBCSports_21-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NBCSports-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>At the close of a very trying ninth round, a visibly tired Ali went back to his corner, and told his trainer: "Man, this is the closest I've ever been to dying."<sup id="cite_ref-NBCSports_21-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NBCSports-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In the opposite corner, Frazier was suffering from pronounced swelling about the face—the result of an accumulation of scores of punches exclusively aimed at his head, increasingly hampering his vision. After an 11th round, in which Ali landed frequently, Eddie Futch confronted his charge, asking him: "What's with this right-hand business?"<sup id="cite_ref-InTheCorner_13-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-InTheCorner-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In response, Frazier indicated that he could not see some of the punches he was being hit with. At this point, Futch gave him what turned out to be poor advice—he told his fighter to stand more upright when approaching Ali rather than continuing his usual bobbing and weaving style. Ali seized upon this immediately in Round 12. With his back to the ropes, he threw many punches with both hands that landed accurately and did still more damage to Frazier's limited eyesight. Adding to Frazier's problems was his corner's inability to maintain a functional icebag to apply to his eye past the middle rounds because of the oppressive heat inside the Philippine Coliseum. As Frazier rose from his stool to contest Round 13 he was a combatant who could barely see.<sup id="cite_ref-InTheCorner_13-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-InTheCorner-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-BBCFilms_16-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BBCFilms-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>British sportswriter Frank McGhee ringside for the <i><a href="/wiki/Daily_Mirror" title="Daily Mirror">Daily Mirror</a></i> describes the final rounds: </p> <blockquote><p>The main turning point of the fight came very late. It came midway through the thirteenth round when one of two tremendous right-hand smashes sent the gum shield sailing out of Frazier's mouth. The sight of this man actually moving backwards seemed to inspire Ali. I swear he hit Frazier with thirty tremendous punches—each one as hard as those which knocked out George Foreman in Zaire—during the fourteenth round. He was dredging up all his own last reserves of power to make sure there wouldn't have to be a fifteenth round.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <p>Seeing the results of round 14, <a href="/wiki/Eddie_Futch" title="Eddie Futch">Eddie Futch</a> decided to stop the fight between rounds rather than risk a similar or worse fate for Frazier in the 15th. Frazier protested stopping the fight, shouting "I want him, boss," and trying to get Futch to change his mind. Futch replied, "It's all over. No one will forget what you did here today", and signaled to referee <a href="/wiki/Carlos_Padilla,_Jr." class="mw-redirect" title="Carlos Padilla, Jr.">Carlos Padilla, Jr.</a>, to end the bout.
