Thrilla in Manila 50th Anniversary Varsity Jacket

Fifty years ago, on Oct. 1 1975, they clashed one last time. Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. The most celebrated rivalry sports has ever known, signing off on the final chapter of the most beautiful war in boxing history. The name alone lives on through the ages — The “Thrilla in Manila.” Ali and Smokin' Joe met in the middle of the ring in the Philippines, at the Araneta Coliseum, and it might as well have been the center of the universe. It wasn't merely a rubber match, it was a thing of human lore. Of literature. Of art and brutality, and the interplay between tragedy and triumph. They traded blows for 14 grueling rounds, and within that struggle the full contents of the human heart showed. They were of courage. Of perseverance. Of greatness.

And by the end, the gold standard for classic fights was forever out of reach.
