George "Monk" Foreman fought on saturday...
Tacoma, WA
Heavyweight George “Monk” Foreman III moved to 7-0 by ruining Dale Mitchell’s pro debut with a second round TKO. Foreman has natural gifts, but is green about many aspects of boxing – his footwork shuffles, he is tentative pulling the trigger on punches, mis-times combinations, and he rarely turns over a punch for full impact. Mitchell knew the basics of fighting and appeared to be trying to make it more than a sparring session. Unfortunately, Mitchell had no power and his stamina ran out in the second round. Mitchell was put down in that round from fatigue and Foreman’s clubbing punches. Mitchell barely made the count, and held until the bell. Between rounds, Mitchell retired, and referee Paul Field called a TKO at 3:00 of the second round.
