George Foreman vs Wladimir Klitchsko. Who winz and why?

[Guest]

Lyle was very good at countering off the ropes. He looked like a typical brawler but he was actually a very good counter puncher.

He had handled Shavers in the same way and went into the Foreman fight fully confident that he would pull the upset. For a moment it seemed like he would.

You could say that for the majority of those fights, Lyle outpointed Ali, outslugged Foreman and outpunched Shavers.


Here's the end of the famous slugfest

I remember watching the Lyle-Ali fight as a kid....vaguely. I think it's on from time to time on ESPN classic...
I remember being scared that Ali would lose .... ha ha ha

Here it is:



Shavers vs Lyle was a great fight as well although it was never shown on television.

There's a film of the fight around (which I have on my computer), it's not in great quality but it's good enough.
