    Beautifully written, I liked the part where you talked about how George was pawing and touching Moorer's lead hand with his jab, allowing him to set up the right hand. Moorer's inability to land his jab due to Big George's pawing left hand was crucial to him setting up the KO blow. Right before the KO George managed to block a Moorer jab which set up the KO sequence. The timing of your post is perfect too, I just bought a George Foreman grill this morning ! :lol:

    My favorite sequence of the fight as well, brilliant way to show that boxing is so much more than punching. It has a major grappling component too.
