If you didn't look up that, that's demented that you know that. My brother told me I was the only one sick enough to still know that and even Foreman couldn't remember them all. Good job!

Didn't Polite have the temerity to kiss Foreman?

I think he had already beaten Kirkman by KO previously, so all in all, a farcical night. Not to mention Ali heckling from ringside.
