Bert Cooper was also a pretty tough dude. But after a body shot by Foreman-which hit Cooper so hard in the side that he flew sideways at least 3 or 4 feet-The fight didnt go much longer!!
Foreman didn't take Qawi lightly. He got down to 229 lbs at the weigh-in, lightest he got in his comeback. He later said he just didn't feel right at 229, so he never got down to under 250 lbs after that....
Foreman had a granite chin. Something that ppl forget. In his later career he took so many clean shots but was never even wobbled. Truly one of top 3 heavyweights in history. The only person I’d put above him is Ali.
@@Strongboy1770Illegal for sure. But the height difference and the bending of the waist exposed the kidney that wouldn't usually be a prime shot. Tyson used to say if his opponent moved and he threw a punch it was their fault for turning into it lol
The best part was foreman was getting hit with combinations but showed great chin and resilience, patience and intellect to wait for the right shot to use at the right time. It’s kinda Joe Frazier style taking a couple shots just to make sure yours lands and lands hard.
That was some of the old venom that 1970’s Foreman displayed in every fight, when he let the beast in him get out once again, grown men got punched to their knees.
Qawi is 5'6 listed as 5'5 in google while foreman is like 6'5 😭 although he probably shrunk when he got older and heavier, so maybe 6'3 but the height difference is still insane Qawi landed some GOOD shots too which is incredible
@@wgamer85 Agreed. Holyfield said Qawi was his hardest fight. And Foreman is incredibly strong as opposed to powerful given power is a combination of strength and speed, and Foreman was never the quickest fighter/puncher. So I'd say that Foreman's strength and size were just too much for Qawi.
This is a completely illegal pumch to the opponents kidney. Also for everyone saying this is a liver shot please retake basic anatomy, your liver is on the right side of the anterior plane. You cannot hit it through the back, you hit it under the rib cage. Tl;Dr: This was illegal
If you watch it slowly it clearly hit the side of his Body near the Back. But not on his Actual Back. He looped his Right Hand Around the Side of His Guard using an Overhand Style Motion. This would be a Odd but Legal punch as far as I'm concerned. And if your turning your body to Pivot shots off you so your opponents angles get cut off. This is the kind of stuff you should expect. If your gonna throw off my Clean Boxing. Then we're just getting down to brawling at that point.
@@williehudson4013 if the camera was flipped, then the "Budweiser" logo on the ring corner would be flipped too. My goodness it's not a liver shot dude
166cm vs 190cm what a difference Qawi was constantly out boxing dodging and countering foreman if qawi was a natural Heavyweight then foremans comeback would’ve never happen
If the dog wouldn't stop to shit, he'd have caught the rabbit, too. Foreman has a tremendous chin. Nobody ever knocked him out. They TIRED him out, and dehydrated him, but nobody ever knocked him out like he knocked THEM out. Foreman threw right hands like that in the 1970s. Quawi couldn't hurt Foreman, all he did is prolong the inevitable. A body shot like that will drop most guys. It was right to the kidneys. No wonder Ali pissed blood for a month....
@@milojanis4901 Nobody even knocked him down in his comeback. Qawi is a good fighter though and incredibly ballsy to get in the ring with the biggest puncher in the history of boxing at 5'7.
@@milojanis4901 Gotta love how George Foreman fanboys like to spread misinformation. Ali pissing blood was actually something George Chuvalo said about his fight with Ali. This was a person Ali already fought twice before he ever even fought Foreman. There is absolutely nothing that says Ali pissed blood due to Foreman.
Bro threw a overhand right to the liver 😂😂😂
kidney
Liver is on the right side. That’s the area of left lung lower lobe, kidney and spleen. Any one of them could have been damaged by that punch.
An overhand body shot. Unreal lol
George different dawg lmaooo

George might have gotten all three. Combo shot.
Like punching a brick wall except the brick wall punches back.
The sound of that punch 😳 just shows how powerful Foreman’s punches really are

@milojanis4901 this isn't cooper, it's qawi
Foreman DID throw weird, but legal punches. The problem was, they were just so full of power.
I like George’s unorthodox style, especially the body shots. Makes him interesting to watch, even decades later.
lol his style was taylor made for his power
Kidney shots aren't legal. But if your opponent bends over and offers it up it's fair game. Same as with hitting on the back of the head.
I would not say that this punch was legal
@@GrubKiller436 I don't know boxing rules. What was wrong with it?
That punch 🥊 was like a shot with a 12 caliber gauge slug, what a tremendous power 😮
Yet, he met Ali, who was only a Fairy hard puncher....AND HE GOT FLOGGED!!!

How Ali took several rounds of this kinda beating was insane
I agree. Ali actually took a beating.
just the first 2 rounds. starting from round 3 foreman had nothing left. go back and watch it again.
It's just because ALI WAS ALI... 😉
Foreman ate that overhand right at the start of the clip, guy was an absolute tank.
That's Dwight Muhammad Qawi. He was a tough cruiser and heavyweight. He gave Evander Holyfield a fit. To knock him down like that is a feat.
An ATG. Unfortunately gets forgotten.
Oh damn that’s Qawi? Yeah he was legit.
Good boxer but a complete physical mismatch for Big George. He's about 5'6.
Not just tough, cruiserweight champ
Foreman didn't take Qawi lightly. He got down to 229 lbs at the weigh-in, lightest he got in his comeback. He later said he just didn't feel right at 229, so he never got down to under 250 lbs after that....
And that was the day Dwight received his Foreman body tattoo

Not true. Gerry Cooney wobbled him with his great left hook. But it was only one shot, and after that, we all know what happened to Cooney😂😂😂
The sound tho
It is a "Kidney shot"
Illegal but hey, it's a FIGHT. If you can get it past the ref, do it.
@@Strongboy1770Illegal for sure. But the height difference and the bending of the waist exposed the kidney that wouldn't usually be a prime shot.

@@Strongboy1770what was illegal about it..LEGAL.
@@daystar73 Kidney punches are illegal in boxing.
Not quite, it looks like Foreman hammered him on the side of the hip.
The only places Foremen wouldn't punch were the roof of the mouth and the soles of the feet.
And when he punched, you stayed punched.
George Chuvalo
That was a rare punch he threw with alot of power
Even with the crowd noise, it still sounded like he hit him with a baseball bat.
For real, what a terrifying sound.

He's like ah good head movement.... how's your liver movement?
Liver felt pretty safe on the right side.
The left kidney didn’t tho.
This kidney punch, or a right side liver shot will bring you to your knees.
I always liked Qawi, and that punch looked like an illegal kidney punch.
George Foreman was a beast.
That sounded like bones crunching
That's boxing.
You get a warning. He gets to curl up and pray for unconsciousness.
Imagine that coming down on you from the Mount.
Exploding kidney
Did they not have weight classes back then?
they had a foot difference in hieght..
the guy fighting foreman started out as a light heavyweight, so two weight classes below
Qawi is 5'6
listed as 5'5 in google
while foreman is like 6'5 😭
although he probably shrunk when he got older and heavier, so maybe 6'3
but the height difference is still insane
Qawi landed some GOOD shots too which is incredible
@@OliverOilsforeman was always 6'4. not 5. But ye he did shrink to 6'3.
The guy who went down was Dwight Muhammad Qawi aka Dwight Braxton before he became a Muslim and changed his name.
Liver punch sucks. Dont matter what kind of shape you are in. Direct hit, you go down for the count
The liver is on the front of your body on the other side, this was an illegal punch to the kidney lol
SRR used to throw this punch often also
David and Goliath. Qawi was simply too small here.
qawi is a good fighter, foreman is just insanely powerful
@@wgamer85
Agreed. Holyfield said Qawi was his hardest fight. And Foreman is incredibly strong as opposed to powerful given power is a combination of strength and speed, and Foreman was never the quickest fighter/puncher.

What xD
Kidney shot, a bit different I will admit when hit there your vision turns funny and your legs get weak
