GEORGE FORMAN'S GREAT 5: The final knockout of his career!

GEORGE FORMAN'S GREAT 5: The final knockout of his career!

In 1994, it was clear to everyone that George Foreman's career was coming to an end. One of the greatest heavyweights in professional boxing history is 45 years old. In 76 games, he has 72 wins and only 4 defeats. In 1974, he lost his world title in a fight against Muhammad Ali. Despite his brilliant results, Big George waited until 1991 for another chance to step on top of the world. The winner is another legend – Evander Holyfield. Two years later, he fought for the title against Tommy Morrison. Another loss, but again by a very strong boxer.

Despite the hesitation, Foreman did not give up. Immediately after the defeat by Morrison, he is again a contender for a world title - the two belts of Michael Moorer. And George definitely deserves that chance because of all he's accomplished. The opponent has exactly taken away the champion status of Evander Holyfield after 12 rounds and a unanimous decision. After 35 matches in the ring and not a single defeat, Michael is the new star in the division. But Foreman is far from retired…

George's strongest point in the fight is that he is aware of his age and his 45 years. From the first gong, it was clear that he could not match Moorer's athleticism. His strategy is to look for the winning shot. After 67 career knockouts, Big George sure knows how to find it.

In the first 9 rounds, Foreman is an easy target for scoring points. Moorer knows this and takes advantage. Hardly anyone doubts that in the case of a judge's decision, the victory will be in Michael's favor. In the 10th round he continues with his moderate attacks. And then the miracle happens… A perfect right straight lands Moorer on the chin. Game over! The world title is once again in the possession of George Foreman. At 45, he became the oldest world heavyweight champion in history at the time.
