Additional Details

The so-called "Fight of the century" took place at New York's Madison Square Garden on March 8th 1971. The fight might have disappointed given the expectations and the fact that it had been hyped up to the "max" as they say. The fight itself exceeded even its promotional hype and went the full 15-round championship distance. Ali dominated the first three rounds, but in the end, Frazier dealt Ali his first professional loss.< M>
