Anyone ever see "Foreman-Qawi" of '88 on PPV?

I bought it too. I was a sucker for ppv back then. But it was cheaper by far. I reached my lowpoint when I bought Scott Frank vs. Ken Arlt. for 9 or 10.50. But sometimes the odd ones paid off. The Hearns-Barkley fight was a payperview that was off the radar in 88 and a sure thing for Tommy turned into a history changing upset for many fighters. When Dwight was Braxton in the 1980-Oct. 82, he was awesome great against those ESPN guys, Rossman, Scott, Saad, Martin and finally perfect and like a Tiger against Saad again. After that and the Qawi name change, he never was the firebreathing stomp out and get down and kick ass guy again. The menace was just GONE. it was weird and discouraging. Saited hunger is sooo bad for a fighter and has changed many career courses. No Braxton/qawi would ever beat Bigg George though.

 

In Britain we got on Sportsworld Extra. We did not have to pay a penny, but we did not get it live.

 

Foreman said he felt weakened by coming in so light.

For this fight coming up on Saturday, instead of buying on payperview, the movie theater has it on their screens for $15.00. It should be nice on giant screen. Of course no beer allowed, but at 77, I need to cut back. lol
I saw a lot of heavyweight title fights on closed circuit and also Leonard-Duran and others up to the early 80s. Hopefully the picture and quality has improved. I'd rather pay 15 because I feel Cotto has no hope but really hope to see Saul battter and stop Mosely, who has given less than a stellar effort twice in his last superfights and I feel, ripped me off. I'm very vengeful lol It was a lot easier in the old days just going down to the Olympic or Forum and seeing super fights everytime w/ the action fighters who fought there from the 40s into the late 80s , really mid 80s when it kind of died out.

 

Thanks! I just might get Captain Morgan and his crew to sail me to the fight.

 

I can't understand why George DID N'T maintain that weight.

 

Can't think why. He looked pretty fit and strong.

 

I watched Foreman verses Cannuck Ken Lakusta on Eurosport the other night. The Canadian guy was knocked down in the third and looking spent when he landed a haymaker that wobbled George momemtarily before being dropped again and failing to beat the count. Must be the only time George was wobbled in his comeback.
