9 x 12" Philippines broadside for the Ali-Frazier "Thrilla in Manila", the 3rd in their blood-feud ring wars that left a battered Frazier on his stool after round 14 and Ali victorious but half-dead. Striking red images of the fighters' faces frame "Super Fight III, World Heavyweight Championship" in green, other lettering for the site and undercard in green and red. Ali big-fight posters are always in demand, and this is one of the more unique "Thrilla" ones. Technically VG-EX for serating/tearing on right edge but displays brilliantly.
