How Foreman Won Title -- 50 Years -- January 22, 2023

San Francisco Examiner, 22-January-1973

50 years ago today, on February 22, 1973, George Foreman knocked Joe Frazier down six times and earned a TKO in the second round to stop Frazier's unbroken streak and take his heavyweight title. I think I heard it announced on the radio. It was a great shock. I admired Joe Frazier and I wanted him to fight Ali again, with the title on the line.
