	*Roman attempted to move against Foreman, but the champion trapped him on the ropes about a minute into the fight and unloaded. Roman bobbed and weaved as he tried to avoid Foreman's wild swings. Roman went down, but Referee [[Jay Edson]] ruled it was not a knockdown. However, Foreman hit Roman with a right to the jaw while he was down. Roman's manager, [[Bill Daly]], and trainer, [[Al Braverman]], immediately climbed onto the ring apron and protested to Edson, who said Foreman didn't do anything illegal. He said Foreman was just following through with his punches. Foreman denied it was an intentional punch. Edson said he did not give Roman, who was down for less than 10 seconds, any additional time to recover because the punch was losing force as he went down, and Roman said he was okay when he got up. Several seconds after the fight resumed, Foreman dropped Roman with a right to the chin. Roman was able to get up, but a right uppercut put him down again. He was counted out two minutes into the fight.		*Roman attempted to move against Foreman, but the champion trapped him on the ropes about a minute into the fight and unloaded.
