Question

Who was ahead on points in ali vs frazier I before frazier floored ali in the 15th?

Answer 1

Frazier beat Ali like rented mule! It wasn't as close as the score. Frazier was WAY ahead!

Answer 2

The fight was scored on a rounds system rather than a point system, and Frazier was ahead on all 3 judges scorecards going into the 15th (8-6,10-4,7-6-1).

Answer 3

Frazier was ahead

Answer 4

Frazier was on his way to the win. I believe New York uses a pure rounds scoring system, as opposed to 10-point-must, so he merely won the 15th round.
