    Evidence: atlas' advice in-between rounds. Lampley confirms foreman's prediction in legendary nights. Atlas called Foreman a "conman"

    Counter: moorer was winning the fight.seems unlikely any boxing match can be planned by any fighter considering the variables upon variables.

    Conclusion: I think Foreman had an essential gameplan that he ended up executing. I do not believe he intended the fight to go to the tenth on the dot and flatten him.

    To me, Foreman stuck to his gameplan. However I don't see him secretly manipulating the entire fight.

    i think foreman hits hard and he hit moorer in the face pretty hard.

    moorer did look to be fairly alert in some ways, lol, he wasn't twitching with his eyes rolled up in his head or anything,,,still he looked pretty dazed,,,,

    That was clever of Moorer to take a shot that required 36 stitches inside his mouth to make it look good.

    He was already asleep before Foreman threw that punch.

    Moorere wass talented & fught very well. But Atlas was screaming at him within about 10 seonds of the KO not to stand in front of him. As yoi can see when they are both interrviewed about the fight, Moorer was an angry sore loser who did not except that Foreman was hooking him over towards his ig right hand.

    He was not waitimg for a particular time, just the opening to catch up with the faster Moore, & Foreman got Moorer complacent & inattentive enough to fall into his devstating power.
