    During the fight Foreman crushes qawi and Quawi does the freeze as if the DJ stopped the track. It seemed as if Quawi was out on his feet and moments away from a nosedive to the canvass. Then we realize it was a fake out all along. I'm not too sure about that.

    Quawi came to fight and he wanted to win, Foreman was just too much for him.
    If I remember right, he was out on his feet for a second, George started to walk away to a neutral corner, and Dwight fired up again. It looked like a bluff at first, but I don't think it was.

    I think he was so badass he just was able to fully recover from a ko in 2 seconds blas his iron knees held him up.

    Side note: when I watch this I think what was Frazier thinking.

    Yeah you got it bud. Commentary was skeptical of Foreman and high toward quawi. Action packed fight so the scene got faded out pretty quick. Let's give credit to George though, the dude can take a shot himself whether qw was a 5'7 cruiser or not.

    Sparred together for Tyson anticipation.

    It was sad to see Qawi, a natural 175 pounder, balloon to well over 200 pounds just to accept a good payday against a come backing Foreman. It was a circus show, like most of Foreman's early comeback fights.
