The New York Times

Joe Frazier won the undisputed heavyweight title with a 15-round decision over Muhammad Ali at Madison Square Garden in March 1971, in an extravaganza known as the Fight of the Century.

Joe Frazier, the former heavyweight champion whose furious and intensely personal fights with a taunting Muhammad Ali endure as an epic rivalry in boxing history, died Monday night. He was 67.

His business representative, Leslie Wolff, told The Associated Press in early November that Frazier had liver cancer and that he had entered hospice care.

Known as Smokin’ Joe, Frazier stalked his opponents around the ring with a crouching, relentless attack — his head low and bobbing, his broad, powerful shoulders hunched — as he bore down on them with an onslaught of withering jabs and crushing body blows, setting them up for his devastating left hook.

It was an overpowering modus operandi that led to versions of the heavyweight crown from 1968 to 1973. Frazier won 32 fights in all, 27 by knockouts, losing four times — twice to Ali in furious bouts and twice to George Foreman. He also recorded one draw.

Dr. Jim Sadler called in and discussed with Phil Dr. Sadlers very young wife who spent $2,000 on shoes and a sweater once.

From NY Daily News: New James Bond film officially called ‘Skyfall;’ to star Daniel Craig as 007, Javier Barden as villain

From l. to r.: Javier Bardem, Berenice Marlohe, Naomie Harris and Daniel Craig mark the start of production on the 23rd Bond film, ‘Skyfall,’ at Massimo Restaurant & Oyster Bar in London.

 

James Bond’s license to kill has been officially renewed.

Daniel Craig will return for the 23rd installment of the longest running franchise in film history, which will be called “Skyfall,” the movie’s longtime producers announced at a London press conference Thursday morning.

“[It has] all the elements of a classic Bond movie, including – to quell any rumours – lots of action,” director Sam Mendes said, referring to grumbling from critics that his selection meant a focus on drama over car chases.

The press conference was held in London’s Whitehall, where shooting on “Skyfall” officially gets underway Thursday after more than a year-long delay sparked by studio MGM’s bankruptcy. The timing may have been perfect, however, as the movie will hit theaters next year, the 50th anniversary of the first Bond film, “Dr. No.”

The franchise has raked in $1.6 billion at the box office in North America alone.

Mendes said the film will leave fans shaken and stirred as it sends Bond to London, Shanghai, Istanbul and Scotland.

Javier Barden was on hand to confirm the rumors that he had been cast to play the film’s villain. ““Who told you a villain is a bad person? For me, it’s an honor to be at this table for many reasons,” he told reporters at the event. “It will be fun to do.”

Also joining Craig and Bardem are returnee Judy Dench, French actress Berenice Malohe, Naomi Harris and Ralph Fiennes.
