1974 Joe Frazier vs. Muhammad Ali II Full Ticket
<B>1974 Frazier vs. Ali II Full Ticket.</B></I> On January 28, 1974, at New York's Madison Square Garden Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier fought for the second time in their careers. The two had fought at the same venue in 1971 with the heavyweight title at stake. In that spectacular fight Joe Frazier knocked Ali down in the final round and won a unanimous decision. It was Ali's first defeat as a professional. Since that first fight Frazier had lost his title to powerful George Foreman. This rematch with Ali was to determine who would be Foreman's next opponent. At stake was Ali's NABF Title, so the fight was set for twelve rounds. The fight lacked the drama of the first meeting, but not the action. When it was over, Ali emerged with a hard fought unanimous twelve round decision, although a number of observers at ringside thought Frazier had won. Offered here is a full ticket from this fight. The ticket is in fine condition and displays well. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 22.5% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Galleries & Auctioneers. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Galleries & Auctioneers, and all other information should be considered preliminary.
