    Just mentioned it as Foreman went down 9 secs before the end of the rd.

    Usually can't be saved by bell except in last round.

    Not sure, but quick counts were allowed. :yep

    Not that it would have mattered.

    Do you think Foreman would have lasted the fight if he beat the count in rd 8?

    You're probably right. Would be interesting to see, though.
