Underrated fight of all time IMO. Moorer was outboxing him every round and foreman kept his hands down and just ate shot after shot it looked like he was being abused. Then tires Moorer out and fucks him up. That’s a truly GREAT fighter
Foreman just missed the mark with that left-right combo the first time, then George came right back with it and bingo, that right hit Moorer pin-point flush to knock his ass out! Gotta give Moorer credit, he fought a good fight and hit George with everything he had, but he wasn't powerful enough to stop Big George Foreman.
The KO was not surprising. Taking nothing away from Moorer who fought a smart fight and was well ahead on points, Foreman was landing big shots throughout. Several times he knocked Moorer back a couple of steps, and seconds before the knockout he landed a good one-two that seemed to stun the champion. The real question is how Moorer stood up so well to George's punching power throughout the fight.
George said in an interview he pulled all of his punches for the first 8 rounds. After Moorer was comfortable with Foreman's power. Foreman stopped pulling his punches and knocked him out because Moorer got too comfortable.
Cuando la vieja escuela le ganó a la nueva escuela. Se notaba mucho la forma de cada uno de los boxeadores foreman muy de los 70' esa forma solo golpes de poder y aguantar lo que sea. Y moorer boxeaba más a la actual mucho más técnico como lo hacen hoy en día también.. lo boxeadores de la época de foreman Ali Frazier etc aguantaban mucho los tipos esos peleaban guerras arriba del ring estaban acostumbrados y a 15 rounds. Yo creo que un boxeador de esos hoy en día no le podría ganar nadie por más técnico o bien que boxeen. Eran unas bestias de otro planeta.
I agree that foreman was the greatest boxer ever even when he was overweight he could put you to sleep at his leisure but you have to admire Moorer who was a better boxer than people gave him credit for, hard as nails and technically a very accurate boxer.
Foreman had his glove on moorers glove all night so yes he was landing still but it lessen the blows as well as him stopping moorer shoulders when he threw …foreman is a very smart fighter
In several fights Moore has been caught under trained and gassed out. I think that he thought...hey this is a old man I'll get him out of there. But Mike didn't count on a couple things. How well George can take a punch, how hard George can punch, and how much George wanted it. Great fight one of my favorites
It is for this reason that Ali and his clan did everything to ensure that the rematch of the century never took place....? The greatest heavyweight boxer of all time is George Foreman and not Ali because if he had been the greatest he would have arranged for there to be a rematch in the months following the Zair fight... Georges Foreman is the Greatest Heavyweight of All Time
@@nacen9339 , I'm sure if Ali and his clan would have given George Foreman a rematch in the months following the Zaire fight , George Foreman would have defeated Ali very easily, that's why Ali and his clan did everything to ensure that the rematch of the century never took place.and don't forget that George Foreman beat Ken Norton very easily and that Ali had lost to Ken Norton, George Foreman twice defeated Joe Frazier by KO Joe Frazier defeated Ali by knockout and in the rematch Ali won by decision because he was favored by the judges....? It's obvious that since the rematch of the century never happened proves that George Foreman is the Greatest Heavyweight of All Time
Slightly fast. However, he wouldn't have been on his feet before the count of ten. Also, it would have taken him a couple of minutes to recover and there was no time to recover as there was almost a minute left in the round.
Even if he got up from that, there is no way he would have survived the round. It would have been exactly like the Cooney knockout. Still completely stunned and then another brutal knockdown.
What a powerful right hand shot 💪

Foreman’s endurance is insanely unbelievable.

IT HAPPENED!
They both looked like a couple punching bags until Foreman finally nailed Moorer.
Super George.
Absolute Legend ❤

Cómo me gustan ver las peleas de Foreman
The inevitable outcome of going to sleep against George Foreman/ he will put you to sleep if you start to coast through a fight !!!###

Ali still would’ve gotten Foreman a second time. But older Foremen was much more savvy and would’ve been a tougher time
Foreman was better than Ali. That much is obvious.

Ali is greatest.....
George Foreman is greatest
Fast count

I thought I was the only one who noticed

Totally pantomime
Foreman is the greatest. Other than Tyson, Ali is the most overrated athlete of all time.
That was scripted Moore was winning the entire fight
