Pre-planned one punch KO's

Foreman trapping Moorer is one good example.

 

Is it? I don't recall him trapping Moorer.

 

Not a lucky punch, but not a planned thing either.

I mean, sure, he planned to land a 1-2, but it was just that. A 1-2. Two of them actually. Moorer was stupid to stand in front of him; trapping had nothing to do with it.

 

You disagree? What did Big George do to trap Moorer?

 

foreman-frazier1.the big underhand right hand big george kept throwing through the middle at the swarming joe.

 

Well if that's the case George is a bloody genius!
Jokes aside, I don't believe Foreman was tactically astute enough to try something like that.

My personal take is that George (as was always the case) had his best chance of winning early on, and that he knew it. The way I see it, he just caught Moorer with enough on the end of his punches to stop him. No planning, no traps, just keep going and see what happens. Punchers always have a chance of winning, as long as they're punching.

Edit:

That's not to say he fought like a mindless robot, but I don't think much cerebral activity went into getting the knockout.

 

Moorer said Foreman got lucky, but at the same time, apparently told Jim Lampley that he was out on his feet from the first 1-2.

Wilfred Benitez helped set up that overhand right on Maurice Hope with a couple of nice feints. I think he dropped him a round or two earlier, so that helped make Hope more weary and susceptible to the feints.

Roy Jones set up that body shot KO on Virgil Hill with right hands over the top. Lederman was talking about how he was going over Hill's jab with right hands. This time it came lower and most likely surprised Hill.

It's a little tough to see sometimes when exactly they're setting them up and how, since fighters on that level obviously have a higher boxing IQ than most of the viewers watching. But I'm going by what it appears to me.

 

Yes it was. Foreman is just a phony on camera, off camera he is the same ole Mankiller texas george. moorers right, that punch was was lucky one.
