Briggs won by a controversial decision but that didn't stop George from giving a sales pitch for the grill after the match.

It's touching to hear these words from George. Life tought him well, and he has learned from it. And to think that he was a killing machine in the 70s, full of anger. "The kid was hitting me behind the back, and i decided i can't that do that back to him" - top class. Respect George. Now i understand, you're not "Big" because of your muscles, it's your heart that makes you "Big".

LOL. He has a new commercial. Unlike other old boxers, he doesn't slur his words and isn't punch drunk. I'll be honest with y'all. I grew up in church, used to be a devoted christian, but I left the church years ago because I had questions. I 'd heard the same sermon one to many times and it was all sounding and feeling stale. But a couple of weeks ago, I saw George's new commercial and as I said earlier, he doesn't sound like an old, aged ex fighter. He's lucid and looks damn young. When he lost to Jimmy Young in 1978 (In think) and had the locker room "conversion" we all thought he was nuts. But look at him now. He's made millions and he served God for all those years. We laughed when he said he was coming back. Most laughed until about 2:03 of the 10th round of the Moorer fight. If there is anything that has made me rethink religion and God, it was been George Foreman.

Very odd, that I, being a girly girl, would watch a fight but I grew up watching them all with my Dad and then with my former spouse. I watched this entire fight ,LIVE. I remember the feeling of the rug being pulled out from under me (or George) after hearing the decision. He clearly won but his post interview went down into infamy for me. What a CLASS act and gracious opponent. I'm NOT saying loser because Mr. Foreman is anything but a loser. He kept the main thing the main thing as far a being an example to his children. Well done, Mr. Foreman. So glad to have found this clip and relive a GREAT athletic moment in time. You SHINE! God's abundant blessings on your and your family. AND the grill! LOL

GROWN MAN INTERVIEW
@richardharrison8592 жыл бұрын
The simple truth is this: Shannon Briggs beat George Foreman because nothing happens in a New Jersey boxing ring unless Larry Hazzard, commissioner of the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board, wants it to. Two of the judges in the fight, Calvin Claxton & Larry Layton, only credentials to be boxing judges were that they were friends of Hazzard’s. Claxton, who was not licensed to be a judge anywhere other than in New Jersey had judged one previous bout, the prior year’s Witherspoon-Mercer fight. In a very close fight, he somehow came up with a 97-91 score for Mercer - who coincidentally, like Briggs, was managed by Marc Roberts. Layton had only judged one previous fight, involving Jesse Ferguson was also managed by Hazzard’s close cohort, Marc Roberts. Hazzard it appeared, had a feud going with Foreman’s promoters, the well-known music biz impresarios, Irving Azoff & Jeff Wald, since the Foreman-Savarese fight the previous April. Reportedly he had to be pulled off Azoff in the ring after the fight. In order to avoid similar unpleasantness, Hazzard just canceled the rules meeting - coincidentally, the one time when a fighter’s camp gets the chance to protest the choice of officials.
