[Goodnight, Irene]

How does this play out, fellas?

I won a lot of money on the first one and I would make the same bet again using the same logic.....

All Foreman has to do is catch him clean with some big shots and Moorer is out. I think he catches him sooner in a rematch.

Moorer on points.

Moorer would have run like Usain Bolt & won a UD against the sloth like Foreman.

It depends on how much Arum was willing to pay Moorer to lay down again this time around...

Moorer didn't need to be paid, he had a weak chin. Foreman had a huge punch.

Week Chin + Big Punch = Knockout.

Oh, dear

I hope it was a lot. Because having your lip smashed into a million pieces is a rough way to take a dive.

One of the most ill-informed, troll-like statements I have read on this forum.

I hope he got paid more than the tens of millions he would have received in his next few fights as the undefeated undisputed heavyweight champion.

68 heavyweights have taken a punch from Big George and taken a "dive". It wasn't a crime Michael did the same. If he had just run for the last couple of rounds instead of being so brave who knows where his career goes?

Although magically Duane Ford had it 85-86 after 9 rounds, so it is possible your buddy Bob Arum did pay someone in that fight...

I assume the Foreman-Moorer fight was on the square, but I must say I was never too impressed with the knockout punch.

It did have excellent timing, but it just didn't look that hard.

Some tricky moments apart, I feel this is the way it would pan out.

That was the beauty of Foreman, he had shit for technique but is freakishly powerful. It was a short right hand that didn't look overwhelming until you saw Moorer's lip spilt in half with his eyes rolled back in his head.

Pretty much. I actually agree with Yance. Sometimes you lookat that punch & think, "well, it really doesn't look that bad," but then you see the way Moorer falls (his legs completely buckle), & then the state of his mouth. Foreman was a monster quite unlike any other, even Liston in the end.

I agree with him too. I remember the second time I watched the fight and my friend and I noticed that George was landing more than we had noticed throughout the fight.

I think if you watch the minute building up to the knockout, you can see it coming.

I think on Legendary Nights Jim Lampley states that Moorer later admitted he was pretty much out on his feet before Foreman put him down.

You could see Moorer standing in front of Foreman throughout that round, and George landing a couple of bodyshots that made him move towards the right hands.... shortly afterwards it was over.
