Is this photo of Foreman and Boone Kirkman posed/fake??

This is the fifth and final exhibition of a five-fight afternoon series in 1975 or so, not the MSG . It is legitimate.
Even a casual listen of the soundtrack makes this clear, but I can sympathize if you turned the sound off Cosell's obnoxious commentary. I can barely stand listening to him as well. Kirkman's trunks are a different color than the first fight.

 

Looks like it's from the 2nd round of the Toronto exhibition - 6.04 on this video. Kirkman actually did give him a pretty good jolt.

Yes, I call you crazy.

 

Thank goodness.

I was worried that this was gonna be a recently discovered old photo of George and Boone partying in fish net stockings.

 

I'll gladly show you my "private" photos of Foreman and Kirkman for a small fee.

 

While I appreciate the offer, I’ll pass thanks. Still suffering PTSD from the Golden Girl’s pics.

 

Good find, Sherlock!

Boone Kirkman is a Washington State Legend! He went on to be a very good mountaineer after his boxing career ended.

 

If think he was the goat at presenting and commentating b tier fights. Like an Ali v Chuvalo 2, Shavers v Holmes, where he could kind of take a decent bite of protagonism and use it to enrich the broadcast. His commentating of Ali v Frazier 3 was really boring for example, because, respectfully, the fight was way bigger than Howard or anything at that exact moment lol. But he also was great at Frazier v Foreman. idk hes a cool guy i think the public at the time just thought it was cool to hate him, guys that are fresh to his commentating generally find it interesting
