HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\nAs all boxing fans know Ali and Frazier met in an epic real-life trilogy ending 2-1 in favour of \u2018The Greatest\u2019, but the eSports version of \u2018Smokin\u2019 Joe\u2019 has a unique chance to make it even as a result of a stunning eWBSS performance against tournament 3 seed Lennox Lewis.<\/p>\n
Despite the fact the eWBSS has only been underway for two days, Lewis-Frazier proved to be a classic for the history books as the heavyweight legends battled for a chance to continue their quest for the eAliTrophy.<\/p>\n
Simulated on EA Sports \u2018Fight Night Champion\u2019 and with tens of thousands of people watching online from around the world, both Lewis and Frazier went on the front foot straight from the opening bell.<\/p>\n
Frazier knocked Lewis down heavily in the first round and was the more aggressive fighter throwing plenty of vintage left hooks in the opening exchanges. Lewis managed to weather the storm and in the following three rounds he started to show his excellent set of skills with beautiful combos that changed the course of the fight – culminating in the fourth when he sent Frazier to the canvas with a brutal body shot.<\/p>\n
In the 5th round Frazier, known for his fighting heart, established his hook once again and regained momentum of a highly entertaining give and take knock-down bonanza. Lewis went down for a second time in the 6th, then got dropped twice by uppercuts in the 7th. Lewis rose valiantly from the first but the second carried too much power for \u2018The Lion\u2019 to handle.<\/p>\n
The three judges all had it 56-55 on the scorecards in favour of Frazier when he put an end to Lewis\u2019 ambitions in the inaugural \u2018eWBSS Heavyweight Legends Tournament\u2019.<\/p>\n
The \u2018eWBSS Heavyweight Legends\u2019 tournament began on Monday, March 23, and there will be a live-streamed fight every night until the final on Sunday, March 29. The entire \u2018eWBSS Heavyweight Legends\u2019 tournament will be live-streamed on the World Boxing Super Series Facebook page at 5pm (GMT) every day.<\/p>\n
The tournament, simulated on EA Sports \u2018Fight Night Champion\u2019, is created to provide some much-needed relief and entertainment for fight fans around the world during these testing times.<\/p>\n
