@@Bavarian_Lifting Probably most importantly, they could take a punch. They were much tougher than later boxers, but boxing was much tougher. You practically had to be unconscious for a referee to stop the fight.
I'm a fan of Qawi but this was a mismatch. Foreman was a bit older but Qawi was used up & far overweight at this point. Nevermind the huge size difference. It is what it is but don't call it a great fight or victory. Call it what it was. A name fighter that represented the easiest chance of victory for a Foreman comeback.
@@DonDon45-i5h at that time Foreman was retired for 10 years and he gained weight, if I'm not mistaken he was over 300lbs before return back to boxing and when he return, his weight is around 240-260lbs so him weight lighter than that makes him easily tired since he's not used to with it.
@@Outdoorsy368 Agreed. It's so annoying hearing this constant criticism of George in his comeback from commentary teams. Their read on what is happening in the fight is so shallow, and all they can talk about is George's punching form.
I don't know about that, he fought dirty and fought hard. Kidney punches, low blows, elbows. I think Foreman knew Qawi was a dangerous opponent and didn't want to take any chances. Although he did hold back that one punch.
@@heldinahtmlhellthe elbow shots were 100% accidental. It was when foreman would upper cut or hook and then they would clinch, foreman would just snap his arms back to hard. Also alot of the low blows were probably accidental to. Foreman loops his arms alot and didn’t see where it would land.
@@sirlloyd6386he got hit by Cooney and it hurt him so he decided he should end it ASAP if possible. Cooney was a feared puncher known to KO guys with body shots
@@xavierjuno4572 I think I caught in an interview, too. He also said Cooney was one of the hardest hitters he had boxed. George did the right, smart thing. I had heard that the boxing powers, that were, at the time, asked him to make his fight with Jimmy Young last longer, which he did, and came to regret it.
I feel so sad watching this fight. Foreman clearly didn't wanna hurt Qawi unnecessarily. He pretty much was begging Qawi to quit and spare himself. Qawi as usual had too much heart but he knew very quickly he couldn't win this fight. He fought through punishment after punishment....until he just couldn't take more... watching a great fighter suffering like this is always too difficult to watch.
George never got the respect he deserved for intelligence. Dwight was super skilled and tough as nails. George leaned his weight on the smaller man and essentially beat him into submission. It may not be as sexy as a one hitter quitter; but making a world champion throw his own towel in is pretty incredible.
@@juleskireeff4563 haha I’m almost 40 years old. It’s just an old saying and I’m too old to be constantly editing everything I say. When I was a kid, knocking people out was literally how you got girls where I was from. Thus…sexy. So, contextually, it fits.
@@San-oe1xv He only got knocked out once when he was younger and that was by Muhammed Ali. There was his fight against Ron Lyle but he wasn't knocked out. If you compete in the Heavyweight division and the only time you got knocked out was when you fought Muhammed Ali then you probably have a good chin.
Nothing shameful in quitting in a boxing match when ur 5'7 and fighting a 6'3 giant with the heaviest hands ever.. He did pretty good to be honest.... He might have died in the ring who knows.. Good he quit
@@CLC407 i was just saying imagine him against fury with height difference but qawi still wins because in his prime he could go 15 rounds and make the opponent suffer
@umar_64 i dont think he's necessarily "better", but he's very good, and takes a punch well. Plus a prime Fury has really good cardio for such a big man. And that size differential is gonna be too much, IMO
Looking at JF other fights it's quite obvious he was deliberately missing his punches. He's a very accurate puncher in his other fights. I think just wanted to keep the fight going for a few rounds for the fans
I think George saved energy with those "lumbering" punches. Throwing home run punches is great when they connect. His power was almsot inhuman so he was still doing damage yet saving precious oxygen.
@@Ihavenoidea12342 , Boxrec has him listed at 5'6 1/2 and Holyfield said he was 5'6.. Who knows, but there was a couple fighters around that height that fought at Heavyweight, like the Toy Bulldog
The supporters booing Qawi at the end should really shut the hell up, seriously. None of these people would have dealt with Georges Foreman for 15 seconds before crying their parents. Qawi fought really well against someone who was much bigger than him.
Holy fuck. How did I not know that DMQ fought Foreman in his comeback???? How did he survive that uppercut in the sixth round that put him into factory reset mode?!? Even Foreman put his hands down and started to walk away cuz he felt the connection. Great fight.
An interesting fight. Qawi really did well for much of the fight, landing a lot of big, heavy shots on Foreman, but big George had an amazing chin and was unbelievably hard to knock down. Qawi took those punches at the end after that big body blow, and he knew he was done. Rather than wait to get knocked out and risk injury or permanent health damage he just quit. As much as that goes completely against what boxers are supposed to do it was the smart thing to do. I don't fault him for that at all.
Foreman in his prime was a machine he would just keep on throwing the jab whilst coming at you like a juggernaut he carried this on for decades his fight with Moorer and the Duke were fantastic 😅

Everyone always made fun of George Foreman during his comeback (eg, "training on cheeseburgers") but its Qawi who looks awful and George actually looks respectable
could you imagine getting in the ring with Goerge Foreman in his prime , and you see this colossal human just taking your punches, and all of them have no effect on him. He's just approaching you and stalking you slowly, like a juggernaut about to turn the lights out for you
He never showed any reaction to any punch, even if in trouble, unless you count what I call his "Gumby Pose"-one hand up and the other hand down, like he's trying to punch when stunned. Look at the Young fight, right before he went down.
Foreman was slow but everything else was top notch great chin unreal power and great boxing iq he was literally a big tree trunk you couldn’t hurt just kept coming forward inflicting damage until opponent couldn’t take it anymore
Little known fact of this fight, George was actually sick. That's why he wasn't as active. He was only able to fight in spurts. He weighed in lighter the night of the fight than the initial weigh in
QAWI..."Dwight Braxton" ALL time great light heavyweight...never saw him as a heavyweight at all..."too small IMHO" "George Foreman made a living crushing small fighters" 🥊🥊💯🎯
Foreman in his prime was immune to pain and his head was hard as a rock just he was not able to take a punch from Ali in Zaire Africa cause Ali. Hit George right on the button!! Foreman was a brawler always like a bar fighter. It did work for him.. Ali was an effective show man!
I watch other sports, baseball and football games for example, and I think ' that looks like a lot of fun ' Fighting George Foreman doesn't look like fun
Damn I don’t know how big Qawi purse was but I’m sure it wasn’t worth the beating he took. Total mismatch, like a high school senior fighting the biggest elementary school kid.
Foreman won that fight with devastating body shots. I don't think he realized how much they hurt Qawi. Foreman was head hunting. If he had just pressed that body attack, Qawi wouldn't have lasted 3 rounds.
I think he was afraid of getting called for low blows because Qawi had his trunks pulled up very high. Surprised it was allowed, but the whole fight ended up being weird.
George has become my favorite heavy weight boxer. That said, he could be difficult to figure out, at times. This was one of those times. He seemed a bit lackadaisical the first 5 rounds of this fight. He could usually take a, bending at the waist, head bobber, out in two or three rounds, often with an uppercut being involved. I guess the announcers had forgotten that George did, definitely, have one punch power, since they said what they did about it. He just didn't display it for those 5 or 6 rounds in this fight. Go figure. This might have been one of those instances when one of the boxing/producing, powers that be, suggested he make the fight last longer for the viewers. Who knows?
This was the fittest and lightest George ever was in the 2nd half of his career.. if only he managed to slim down just a little more and picked up a little more speed with the hands & feet movement, the holyfield fight might’ve been closer or moorer would've been KO'd sooner.. what-if what-if what-if I can't help it 🤷♂️

The first knock down was from that vicious body shot. The ref thought it was a hit to the back of the head. He missed it
Legend Foreman❤
Qawi had heart 4sure
Damn, this is the man that Evander took out twice.
After his prime but yes.
Dwight was past his prime when he fought Holyfield.
Prime Qawi beats Holyfield IMO.
@@tom11zz884 Holyfield also cheated with peds.
@@Fudge_Fantasyif you consider a 33 year old with over 30 fights to be out of his prime what would you call Holyfield being 23 with just 11 pro fights?
Give the man his flowers.

Very impressed with Qawi!
Forman is one of the deadliest boxer🔵🔴
Masterpiece ever. Great
