Billed as the "Thrilla in Manila", the 1975 fight between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier was an event for the ages. Frazier was the top dog and was supposed to have the upper hand. Frazier battled well, pounding Ali with thunderous body punches. But Ali surged back with the intensity of a lion and, of course, emerged victorious. Offered is a 13" x 21" print advertising the historic "Saga of Our Lifetime" fight. Featuring the portraiture of Leroy Neiman, the poster is colorful and indicative of the 1970s.
