 | | The Thrilla in Manila was a famous boxing match between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, fought at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City of the Philippines on October 1, 1975. |
 | | Ali spent his time in Manila taunting Frazier at every opportunity, even taunting him with his poem, "It's gonna be a chilla, and a killa, and a thrilla, when I get the Gorilla in Manila." So, when they got into the ring Frazier was, as he was in the first bout, an angry warrior. |
