Original fight Press Pass to the famous 10/1/75 fight between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier held at Manila in the Philippines dubbed the "Thrilla in Manila" the third and final bout between the two. Ali won the fight after the 14th round when Frazier's trainer threw in the towel to prevent the nearly blind Frazier from taking an even worse beating. Pass measures 3 1/4" by 3 7/8" and has an almost silky texture to the front. Front very nice condition with small diagonal bend/crease at the lower front left corner. Back displays evidence of what looks like album removal although it could have had a sticky back meant to hold it on the persons shirt. Rare item!
