Young Foreman's Deceptive Speed

[StarshipTrooper]

I think the telegraphing was part of his game, when he wanted to he could through very technical, accurate shots. Again the Norton fight really illustrates this, most punches thrown from the first knockdown on are very different than the ones he shows earlier in the fight.

A lot of that depended on the type of guard his opponents were using. If someone's using a high guard covering their face it makes sense to loop your punches around the guard.

Problem is when he would load up with his shots which made them alot slower he wasn't that fast when he was punching at a steady pace

He was never known for his handspeed anyway, though.

Where he was perenially sold short was his swiftness at rushing & trapping his victims.
