    Lkie i said, Foreman fought well, i can't take from him, i don't want to. But he's definitely past his prime, Santos. With that hand speed and punches in bunches though Foreman would have had a chance at any point of Santos' career. Foreman's a good fighter, and it's a styles thing.

    I'm reluctantly coming around to this conclusion also. He was actually making an effort to sit down on right hands. I mean, it made perfect tactical sense by that point, but it was still shocking to see. I remember him riding his damned bike around Saul Roman for ten rounds...

    Haha, yeah it suited him here though, fighting a guy who wanted to box mid ring. Foreman was able to get in with clusters of shots and Santos couldn't really counter.

    imma be honest with you...this fight looked very stage in a funny way...i think this opens the door for pac to win an 8th world title in a different weight class as i dont see yuri giving him any problems especially at a catchweight of 150
