    Not what I meant. I know Moorer was dominating. When I said "even" I was saying it as a way to say "also."

    Using the word "also," the sentence should read:
    I'm pretty sure it was also going into the round that Moorer was knocked out in that Atlas reminded him to watch out for what Foreman was doing and remember what they worked on in training.

    Obviously he trapped Moorer.
    I don't think this is even debatable. George wasn't throwing punches only hoping to outpoint Moorer, and he wasn't accidentally throwing punches.
    No such thing as a "lucky punch", certainly not when you're a puncher of Foreman's reputation.

    Atlas was telling Moorer for about four or five rounds to stop moving into Georges power shot. Moorer didnt listen. He would start moving the right way for a about 30 seconds and then fall right back into moving into Foremans righthand. George really only had one way of winning and he got the opening and landed the shot. Kudos to Foreman for hanging in there and taking the beating he did.
    Foreman was mentally a lot tougher in his second career, he had to be, or he would have never gotten past the Stewart fight.

    Yes ive heard George say he altered his strategy and started to jab much lighter because he was finding that his jab was to strong and pushing the fighterts head back too far for him to effectively follow through with the right. So to some extent you could say Moorer fell into the trap
