George made the mistake of coasting the rounds so Jimmy would tire but George got tired. If he came out punching by the 4th round Jimmy would have been exhausted
@@cldavis33 in the fight with lyle and Michael moorer George landed some wicked left hooks, makes sense his left hand was strong since the jab was powerful also
Foreman was not an inside fighter and he either clinched or pushed when an opponent got inside. He improved as an inside fighter during his comeback, perhaps due in part to being coached by Archie Moore. Foreman won with sheer aggression and strength but when that was not enough he could look clumsy and foolish. Jimmy Young could not punch very well but he developed skills that compensated.
This fight to me was very reminiscence of the, rumble in the jungle,only with less ropa dope,and holding George's head down. In fact, to me this was a more entertaining fight to watch. In either case the big man didn't have the stamina,to go the distance.
The rumble in the jungle was much more entertaining although I take nothing away from Young he was very slippery. The Ali Foreman fight had much better exchanges. Foreman did tired he still had not corrected this weakest. Another thing that caused Foreman to lose was he got to Pueto Rico 2 days before the fight so the Altitude got him as well. Once again George was over confident. He didn't think Young had a chance just like he didn't think Ali had a chance. Remember Ali scored a knockout Jimmy got the decision well deserved at that
The fight in Africa was horrible and corrupt, clay should have been disqualified for all the illegal holding and wrestling. One of the worst fights ever. Young on the other hand schooled and outclassed peak prime foreman without any controversy or help from corrupt referee .. prime foreman had e en improved her, not to gas out early. Still he was completely tired out by the end and almost kod..if this had been 15 rounds, foreman would have been kod again
Foreman destroyed guys like Frazier that were smaller than him, but guys his own size gave him all he could handle: Ali, Lyle, Young. Truly a one dimensional puncher.
@thespy7795 I thought he beat Muhammad ali but they gave ali the fight, and he beat george foreman I wonder what they'd say about him if he trained his hardest n gave boxing his all
This is the first time I've seen George Foreman not have a comment to make to the reporter!!! If he would've won, he would've had a comment for sure as always and that shows dishonesty because Young won this fight with no question and he even got a clean knock down in round 12

@@tonycruzman162I guess Jimmy Young punched him so hard that he saw Jesus Christ. George wasn't ready to go 12 rounds with nobody back then and always looked for a knockout in the first or second round and if he didn't get it, he became frustrated and I heard Ali say this about him.
@josephrobinson5452 Did u see Ali-Young? Anyone that thought Young deserved the decision in that one doesn't understand boxing. Ali did show up in poor condition, but did u see Young move his entire body outside the ropes on several occasions? It was downright weird! Some refs would've DQ'd him. U can't win the hw title that way.
Young could and should have been heavyweight champion. As for George, he was as powerful as they come but he never could stop reaching out to stop blows from too far away, or pulling back with his hands down. Counter-puncher's delight, and that's how Ali got him. Liston was more controlled and just as strong, but like Jimmy Young, he had some bad breaks that he partly brought on himself. All were great fighters, with real personalities embodied in their ring styles, unlike many of the plodders and maulers who came after them..
George was very dirty early in the fight. He knew that it would bother an intelligent fighter like Jimi Young who needed rules to win. George needed a visitation after this fight.
Foreman won most of the rounds. Probably 8-4. Jimmy won the 11th and 12th. The one knockdown. But George won the fight convincingly. But it was David vs Goliath, so the Judges were giving Young the emotional points. A robbery for sure.
Exactly. The narrative against GF was obvious, which was GF was emotional rough undisciplined. Crowd heavily biased chearing EVERYTHING JY threw including missed punches. And Cossell as well, over emphasis on JY. Too preoccupied with looking for Rumble in Jungle similarities.

Jimi Young won convincingly due to technique and endurance!
This is how a second Foreman vs Ali fight would have gone.
Jimmy Young took apart prime George Foreman. Outboxed him and had more stamina and guts!

People always focus on foreman’s right hand, the left hook was very dangerous
And that's what Joe Luis said in Foreman's Lockeroom before the first Joe Frazier fight. Watch the post fight interview. He said this exact thing.

Jimmy Young all the way. After coming back in the 5th it was almost all Young !!😅
foreman fought so dirty with all the low blows
Nevermind Young constantly grabbing holding & whinning to ref so he can waste time.
Foreman was just a brute. Strong but without skills.

You say it
Both fighters poured out their heart to this fight

Jimmy young could fight but nobody would walk across the street to see him do it. As they say in the business he couldn't draw flies.
What I'll never understand is why Ken Norton defeated Jimmy Young but lost to George Foreman in the 2nd round by brutal knockdown.
