Boxing call question

[Kgmonty]

I remember a boxing call that went something like.... _______ goes down like a tree struck by lightning. I can’t recall the bout. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I believe that was Foreman goes down in the Ali-Foreman fight.

I was about to say the same thing.

[Dempsey-Louis]

If so I say bad call (announcing). IMO Foreman's fall to the canvas doesn't fit that simile.

[Anthony342]

Yeah, agreed. He sort of turned sideways and fell over.

Yeah, didn't that Colonel guy do the commentary who sometimes called boxing matches back then? Was he known to call a lot of sports or boxing then?
