    Walcott, being the craftier man, uses movement and abuses the rules to his advantage in order to stay away from Foreman's power, until the larger man gasses out. Foreman, exhausted, retires on his stool after the 35th round when he is no longer able to stand up.

    Think about it.

    This is a battle of atrition, where a clean knockout is almost impossible, and economy of effort is god.

    Walcott wins and it might frankly be a mismatch under these rules.
