The champion kept throwing punches at his 46-year old former heavyweight opponent. He was dodging powerful punches all night. He was making his old opponent look clumsy and distinctly older. He was cruising to a lopsided victory. Then out of nowhere, the old challenger managed to land his trademark right – a punch that put so many boxers to the canvas before, a punch that even the great Muhammad Ali could remember, and the punch that the young champion never saw coming. And the fight was suddenly over, the champion was down, eyes wide open but visibly incapacitated - knocked out. After a decade of hiatus, the old bald-headed warrior was champion again. It was dramatic. It was unbelievable.
That’s what I remember most about Michael Moorer and George Foreman championship fight exactly 14 years ago.
Relive the historic fight. Watch it below.
