Clean pure boxing.....Patient George....Nice victory
Lagu dangdut😂
Moorer corner totally predicted the 10th round knockout
Yeah that was stunning... the coach told him exactly what will happen... just wow.

That Foreman jab was dangerous. He kept coming forward.
Pada ko
It's been 29 years since I last saw this fight, and today I was thrilled to see it again after so long, Foreman what an incredible boxer.
Ya al
And if Foreman have had a return fight, for example in New York, directly after the Rumble in the jungle, then the history of heavy weight boxing had to be rewritten and another history.

True tankman! Aguentou porrada de verdade pra levar o cinturão! rs Boxe! 🥊
I was with my college roommates while watching this. Several times I said that George is gonna win, guaranteed!! I had no great insight. I just said it for fun. Even during the fight, they started mocking me, but I stuck to my guns. "George is gonna knock him out." When the knockout occurred, I just barely caught myself from exposing my disbelief. To this day they think I'm psychic!!
I can remember sitting in the lunch room at work and watched this fight. For 10 long years and yet he came back so different, calm, discipline. Wonderful human being.
Yes he is
Yes he is
Did you get fired for sitting on your ass for an hour?

George is simply supernatural.
It takes alot of power to move those big arms. Foreman has good blocking and parrying too, his perceived sluggishness is just him conserving energy. Well done George.

If Moorer had just listened to his corner, there's no reason he shouldn't have won. Stay away from the right, make George fight fast, punch and move right. He just kept trying to square up against George, that's why he lost. His corner had it right, that car analogy was priceless. Make an old car go fast and it'll break down. Moorer just wouldn't listen.
Foreman isn't an old car... he's a tank.
Holyfield beat foreman, but foreman just wouldn't go down, he kept coming back, that match was kinda like a draw,because Holyfield could have lost ,if they kept going cause he was through! ....and this Moore guy beat Holyfield? Moore wasn't moving around enough he sat there and tried to go head up with foreman, that's where he messed up, foreman hit hard and got heavy hands
I notice after the second round Teddy Atlas was saying that, about moving to his right to get away from George's right hand. Then from the start of round three Moorer is consistently moving to his...left! Obviously it's easier said than done to put advice into practice if instinct or habit is telling you to do something different, but Atlas was right about the biggest danger.
Forget about the exhaustion in the Rumble. George had a chin of fucking admantium.
Superb fight to watch. No biased commentaries and amazingly, there were virtually no interventions required by the ref throughout the fight!

You can't beat it without the commentry, the fight is always better & you see alot more as your not looking at what biased commentators are telling u to. It's also the best quality of this fight I've seen. Great upload. 👍
P . I am not sure if 🎹🎷🎹📺📺
@@rubenlaudit1569 I see what you mean.👍
So refreshing to see fights without commentary, & a great fight too.
With hindsight it's obvious George is focused on landing that big right hand the whole fight. He conserves energy, just pawing with his opponent until he sees the opportunity. Michael's corner knew what George was doing. For some reason in the 10th round, Michael decides to stand unnecessarily infront of him and trade shots.Then boom, lights out.
That corner was Teddy Atlas. He knew exactly what was going on after the first round and told Moore so.
Exactly right. Atlas saw all along what George was trying to set up, told Moorer repeatedly, and George still got it done. At age 45, that is incredible, almost unbelievable.
38:46 '...don't stay there because he's looking to set you up one shot.' YEP!
@@cecb3451 Moore seemed tired after round 3,and he was just standing in front of foreman
I can't help but feel it was his ego. He had to stand and throw to show he was better than Foreman
I see a lot of comments about George's defense, but can we please talk about that GRANITE chin!? Moorer landed at least 10-15 GIANT shots and George walked thru like a freaking gargoyle. INSANSE damage absorption 😧😧🤓🤓😦😦
George the real juggernaut

Mike didn't listen to Teddy ! Didn't look like much of a shot, really he got a bunch of stitches and night in hospital. He played right into the Big Ole Bears hands, stood in front of him, told not to do that. Boom !
It made me cry. Again. Retribution for George, one of the greatest of all time.
Great foreman is a G O A T

Man, watching fights with no commentary is where it’s at. Thanks
Foreman at 45, as Stan Lee used to put it: ‘nuff said
By the 4th, George looks like he's teaching a 4th grader how to fight. Lol.
Coach of Michael Moorer can tell him after the fight "see? told you" The coach exactly told him what Foreman will do in round 10, and it happened the exact same way he told him... and Moorer still didnt see that coming. Foreman took a breather the whole round 9 cause he knew that Moorer was exhausted. Moorer threw everything he got in the rounds before, nothing hurt Foreman, and than Foreman just "executed" him in round 10 and the Coach of Moorer (sorry dont know his name right now) saw that coming in the break. But i dont think Moorer was even able to understand a single word, he didnt even respond a single time in that break. Its just incredible how some coaches can see things coming and when they will happen, this is an example in that regard. He is a clairvoyant :D
The young southpaw did not know what he was getting himself into, and has never gotten over it...
Teddy Atlas have been making spoilers between rounds for the whole fight!
It's useful hearing the fight without the commentary; after Moorer controlled round 9, in which the crowd was relatively quiet most of the time with occasional shouts of encouragement for Moorer, round 10 drew a lot more noise from the crowd. Foreman was soon throwing and landing more often with the right and putting more force into his punches, they were clearly having a bigger effect on Moorer. The constant background murmur grew in volume and was frequently punctuated by excited exclamations as the round went on, the recognition by all fans that Foreman was upping the ante and having a lot of success exciting his own fans and worrying Moorer's.
Imagine being the hw champion of the world and your hardest punches do not bother your opponent 🤯
❤❤❤
Masterpiece ever. Great
Teddy Atlas gave great instructions to Moorer during this fight, which Moorer ignored.
IT BEEN LIKE NO AMOUNT OF PUNCHES CAN BRING FOREMAN DOWN
nice replay boxing by George Foreman
Amazing amazing amazing Big George Foreman!! Unbelievable power - He got the KO with a simple looking punch!!

Who else am here after the Netflix movie?
Foreman was just toying with his punches letting Moorer do all the work and just timed His punch bang on to stop Mooorer dont worry I could see what Foreman was doing with His style.Moorer did not know about Foremans experience
nice fighting
Big George cementing his legacy and making history. Well done George! I have enjoyed watching your matches throughout your impressive career and your regaining the heavy weight crown was well deserved. Moorer was lucky Big George wasn't in his twenties ... Big George in his prime, Moorer wouldn't even have made it past the first round. Gracious champion and a real gentleman. God Bless you George. In

That was the hand pouch of Forman’s God 😢
Foreman's chin was too underrated
Always thought the crossarm defense worked better for Foreman
Foreman. Granite. Nuff said.
Формен есть формен👍
Michael Moorer v. George Forman. Experience will always prevail youth!
Only thing better than this is if Tyson had been fighting he probably wouldve been champion in 1994 and Foreman wouldve beat him for title.
Moorer is thinking foreman is getting tired " oh shit so am i "
Não se trata de quanto você bate e sim do quanto você suporta apanhar e continuar em frente, o George Foreman é o grande exemplo disso. Um gigante desse esporte.
the best
George had to be the strongest man in boxing history, no one else is even a close second
Atlas knew what was up. "Don't stand in front of him, damnit"!
his advice to Moorer at the end of Rnd 1 really said it all
Atlas talked way too much, someone talk too much = a man stops listening
@@30secondsovertokyo - Atlas talked too much?? He told Moorer EXACTLY what was going to happen. If my corner guy was correctly predicting what my opponent was doing, he could talk as much as he wanted. Moorer's inability to listen is why he lost the fight. That loss is solely on Moorer and nobody else..
@@Bionic_Fonzie Atlas talked way too much. About antique automobiles making it down the road bla bla. About sparring partners in the training camp. But this next bit sums it up: 'listen to me closely: now take a deep breath' Why would you listen closely to go and take a deep breath?! In the other corner: 'stay close you're better of' your jab is beautifull, use it! you got to take this guy down, we are behind
@@paulangel2722😊
Moorer almost made it to the finish line... When I watch Usyk, Moorer always comes to my mind.... They almost fight the same way?
Both have really good, sharp right jabs, and they both do a lot of their work with that lead hand. I think Moorer was a harder puncher than Usyk is, but Usyk is far more mobile/elusive.
I think the exact same when I watch usyk. Because if someone like joe Joyce who has a very similar style to foreman’s, could pull off a similar outcome to what happened here if he calculated it properly.
Love the way the Compare said Oh not the hillbilly aught which is a misspelling even in simplified Yank English for Zero. Dreadnought means dread nothing not aughting😢!
Foreman doesn't cover his face So I don't know why the Yellow short failed to take advantage on the
I like this without commentators' noise. Feels like I'm there.

More riveting than the Tyson debacle
It’s like the Pillsberry doughboy funny, and the Cadberry bunny
Always was and always will be a huge Forman fan. After watching this fight you have to kinda ask yourself....how the heck did Ali beat him??
George Foreman, how great you are!
Where do live
After the 1st round Atlas was right in that corner. Sparring partners were better but none of them had Foreman's power. Every round Atlas told Moorer he's sitting you up for the right hand and unfortunately he didn't listen in that fateful round.

Moorer disagreed; Foreman agreed. Michael, the then-reigning champ, insisted that Foreman got LUCKY.
Foreman corrected the mistake he made during the Holyfield Fight - his not using the cross armed defense which prevented him from quickly countering the moving Holyfield with punches of his own.
@@wyndhl8309 When you have that kind of power unfortunately Moorer is right. One punch power even Marvin Hagler said he didn't possess but knew guys who did. Ernie Shavers is another one. Maybe another millimeter closer and Holmes wouldn't have got up and Shavers is champion. Lennox lost twice! Foreman said Ali saw that Moorer gets lackadaisical in the late rounds and told Foreman you'll get that opening. Ali said trust me.
@@wyndhl8309 Foreman would have been World Champion in the 11th round of that fight. Foreman missed again by a millimeter on Holyfield.
ted had it sussed out fro round one, listen to the comments. nice with no announcing tbh

Why foreman don't cover HIS FACE fighting without any protection
George is the greatest all time!!!
George earned his last name Foreman because he has the strength of four men
Whats scary is that Mike Tyson at 55 looks better than Foreman did here at 45.
I respectfully disagree.
Miedo da que derrepente tyso pelee y chau Mike, por que desde que se retiro jamás peleó y ahora a los 55años podrá lucir mejor que forman pero en la pelea lo desaparecen.
Mike known as a hunter for retired like Holmes,injuried like spinks or annonym like fraizer jr or champion of canada Ruddock LOL and bitting ears of course he never ko a young champion in top of his game and fail in all real test even normal Douglas destroyed him and about the best for that generation was Lewis,Bowe and hollyfield. Foreman fought lot of HW champions in their prime 70's and 90's and dominated all of them even at his 48y.o without speed,reflex ,stamina , his press attack and without 99% of weapons he still a killer with his one shot. even Moorer's coach told him each round to stay away from that one shot. that guy Ko 67 heavy fighters more than all mike career 55 fights against retired and injuried guys. all fghters have a attack plan untill they meet George in the ring
@@samuelorihuelaloarte3765⁸
Moorer fought stupid entire fight and still winning handily, but ignoring advice from corner, he forgot he is a natural light heavyweight and was in jeopardy even against the naturally much smaller Bert Cooper …
Poor old Moorer, a great fighter. But George... Better.
Me I don't understand Foreman kroaa oo Aaa What is he doing as a heavy weight fighter. Did he come to win the fight?
Parece una pelea de mentirijilla pero es que Foreman derribaba a un tío con su jab
Hay algo que no cuadra🤔

George foreman memang kuat
The exact state of play as last week, lts guaranteed that we will get beat at Ibrox next week as much as it pains me to say it, some form of play needs to change immediately or rangers are going to go ahead in points quickly because we are going to lose games that we should be winning comfortably, we need another striker asap, a no there is injuries but a don't think it really matters cause we r just going to play the same style of football which ain't working,
Foreman is a gold medalist,.. his punching power overshadowed his boxing ability, his subtle clever maneuvering of Moorer into his optimal striking range was genius and payed off in the tenth.
