乔·弗雷泽-穆罕默德·阿里雕像彰显“世纪之战”不朽





在他们的第一场比赛中，乔·弗雷泽一记完美的左勾拳把穆罕默德·阿里打倒在地，这一画面深深印在许多拳击迷的脑海中。现在它已以青铜铸成不朽。

50年前的周一，弗雷泽在这场“世纪之战”中输给了阿里，这是他职业生涯中的第一次失利，第15轮的击倒也标志着阿里职业生涯的胜利。

为了纪念这一事件，费城附近的一家健身馆里竖立了一座9英尺高、1600磅重的潘趣拳雕像。这家健身馆里的老板是Joe Hand Promotions，他的创始人帮助资助了Frazier早期的职业生涯。这座雕像将被转移到宾夕法尼亚州计划中的体育博物馆。

费城北部的一幅壁画也揭幕了。




弗雷泽的两个儿子和一个女儿参加了在健身房里举行的仪式。

据美联社(Associated Press)报道，小乔·弗雷泽(Joe Frazier Jr.)说，“看到这些荣誉、钦佩，看到人们如此尊敬阿里，甚至是我的父亲，这意味着太多了。”“他们都有自己的故事。我们爱艾莉就像爱弗雷泽一样。

“最终，这是我父亲赢得胜利的那辆车。”

壁画上有弗雷泽最喜欢的一句话:“没有正确的方式去做错误的事，也没有错误的方式去做正确的事。”

弗雷泽的雕像已经存在于费城的体育场馆。费城是弗雷泽的第二故乡。他于2011年去世，享年67岁。

“他代表了费城的一切，”小弗雷泽说。“努力工作。这并不全是用嘴说话。用行动说话。这就是它的意义所在。”

The image of Joe Frazier landing a perfect left hook to put Muhammad Ali down in their first fight is etched in the minds of many boxing fans. Now it has been immortalized in bronze.


Frazier handed Ali his first professional defeat 50 years ago Monday in the “Fight of the Century,” with the 15th-round knockdown punctuating his career-defining victory.


In honor of the event, a 9-foot-tall, 1,600-pound statue depicting the punch was unveiled at a gym near Philadelphia owned by Joe Hand Promotions, whose founder helped finance Frazier’s early career. The statue will be moved to a planned Pennsylvania sports museum.

A mural in North Philadelphia also was unveiled.


Two of Frazier’s sons and a daughter attended the ceremony at the gym.


“It just means so much just to see the accolades, the admiration, how much people revere not just Ali, but my father,” Joe Frazier Jr. said, per The Associated Press. “They both have a story. We loved Ali just as much as we love Frazier.


“At the end of the day, this was the one my father was victorious in.”


The mural includes one of Frazier’s favorite sayings: “There is no right way to do wrong and there is no wrong way to do right.”


A statue of Frazier already exists in a complex featuring Philadelphia’s sports venues. Philly was Frazier’s adopted hometown. He died at 67 years old in 2011.


“He just represents what Philadelphia is all about,” Frazier Jr. said. “Work hard. It’s not all about talking with your mouth. It’s speaking with your action. That’s what it’s about.”
