    it was hard enough to drop him but man this guy was doing the worm, the reaction was overreacted.

    I'm not mad at Lara for scoring a KO, just annoyed I picked TKO instead of KO in Kirk's league.

    Really? I thought you had to get kind of stoppage right in order to be awarded the win and the KO?

    No camera replay showed the punch land square on the chin. The angles where you could see his face, showed the punch graze his body, then graze his face. Didn't look like a flush punch at all. That paired with Foreman hopping around on his knees, looked fake. I'd have to see an alternate angle that shows the punch land flusher.

    As a right pick but not as the correct method I'm assuming you mean CST

    There was nothing 'exciting' about that fight. Foreman wouldn't have made it 30 seconds with GGG. Sorry.

    Do you know what a perfect shot to the chin does? He literally didn't have ANY control of his legs.

    That's like claiming a guy is overreacting by laying on the floor grimacing in pain because he got hit with a perfect liver shot.

    No the league isn't that harsh, KO and TKO count the same and SD or MD (majority decision) count for the same. If you pick KO and its a UD, then you're screwed.:D

    If that was Lara's wife holding that baby she's pretty hot even with still having the baby weight :babeando:

    Where are you guys watching your fights? Get cable and actually watch that **** on TV.

    It was a beautiful counter left uppercut to the chin that knocked Foreman out. If you've been watching the fight closely like i have you can see it was a shot to the chin.

    Looked like a half clean counter uppercut to me, followed by a not so subtle shoulder to the mush and then a shove which culminated with a dive and quit job by the retired rabbi with gammy knees.

    He could of stuck his chin out and started swinging like a mad man like GGG eating punches along the way and look like **** or he could of waited for the perfect opportunity to land a beautiful counter uppercut KO like a true pro.
