Foreman vs Stewart: Was it as bad as it looked?

[dsh2005]

In that fight George startyed strong and had Stewart down, I believe, 3 times in the first 2 rounds, may have dropped him in the third as well, or hurt him pretty good. At any rate Stewart kept getting up and George was punching quite a bit and got tired about the time Stewart began to clear his head. He featured movement around the ring and a steady diet of jabs and straight hands. He never really sat down on any punches- George had taught him to stay mobile- so as to hurt or kd george. He didn't win for financial reasons. Should be noted that late in thwe fight, trying to catch Stewart, Foreman landed a couple very hard very deliberate looking low blows.

What do you mean, he (Stewart) didn't win for financial reasons?

That is the one flaw in the "new" George, his compassion and not wanting to seriously hurt an opponent.

yeah, right..look at how foreman disposed of jameson/cooneymaybe he just hates whites lol)


cooney makes all white boxers look like hoes in these clips


uh yeah and jameson is a twat

into orbit goes the old mouthpiece,


dont put these in your sig..make your own

There were plenty of times in foreman's comeback where he looked to the ref to stop the fight becuase the other guy was in bad shape. He even did it in the Jameson fight, but that isn't in the clip you provided.

yeah, when judah looked at the ref in the spinks fight it reminded me of the jameson bout

[Bozo_no no]

Anyone have a shot of Foreman's face from after this fight? It was swelled up like crazy.

[[[Looking at some pictures from the fight, George Foreman looked like he got badly beat up in this fight sustaining massive swelling and a broken nose but coming out the victor. He knocked Stewart down several times but was unable to finish the job.]]]]]]]]]]]]]
====================================

George had Stewert in all kinds of trouble early in their fight. After the KDs Stewert went into flight and fought a Holy style hit and run fight. Older George would tend to swell up pretty good in his fights and had a few scalp cuts that made his face look bad.

Stewert never budged George though his shots were sharp and prolific. George just wasn't fast enough to walk him down and catch him again. I thought Stewert probably edged George, but it wasn't like a King robbery or anything like that. I don't know why George never finished him off. Probably he just relaxed in a fight he thought he would win without hurting the guy any more. All of a sudden Stewert was back in the fight.

Morrison musta watched the Holy and Stewert fights, because he completely altered his style and showed excellent boxing skills and stamina to coast to an easy victory over the old man.

Moorer was too ****** and prideful to watch the Holy, Stewert, and Morrison fights and we saw what happened to any fighter who ever dared to slug it out with Big George.

C'mon, aren't there any George Foreman fans on this forum?

Oh, sure. After all these years you are still not interested enough to watch the fight yourself, but are dying for the opinions of others. What is this?

[The Old LefHook]

It's fights like this one, that solidifies George Foreman's legacy as being one of the toughest men to ever box in the sport. You just gotta to love GF for what he has done in boxing and in life. A success story to say the least.

Oh, yes, please, Mr-I-haven't-watched-the-fight-myself, tell us all about it now, will you? Oh, please tell us how it cements big Gerorgie's legend one more time from everything you have heard and every single photo you have viewed. Piss off!
