    no. i am aware of some fight collectors that have the fight, but no - i have not seen it. i am going by on what i have read and heard about his style in sparring and back in the amateur days.

      Dam, that was great fight...Foreman kept popping the jab non-stop and the Rusky's nose was gushing blood...George also threw the right cross many times...he didn't do much blocking, but when has George ever done this

      His jab isn't the normal "setup" jab, it was a monster of a punch...the Russian guy's head kept snapping back like he was being hit with a baseball bat


      I haven't seen it in a bit, so I am hoping to see it again on ESPN classics, unless someone uploads it on Youtube...trying to compare that fight with others from later on

        Yeah apparently Foreman wanted to fight like Ali who was his hero at the time. He tried to dance and flick the jab but his trainers just told him to get the other guy out of there as quickly as possible.

        In the rumble in the jungle, the only advice his corner gave him was "just keep punching george!"

            I think that WBC champ Valuev would benefit emensly if he adopted a style similiar to George Foreman.
