6. Pavilik/Froch vs Jermain Taylor
Chavez vs Taylor was a great example and the one I immediately thought of.
Top notch there. Foreman was doing damage and clipped him with 1-2s prior. Literally tuned him for the finish and Teddy
knew it was coming.
Teddy was just being Teddy.
Moorer was boxing the ears off Big George. I did not see that coming until the start of that round.
Big George called it weeks before the fight. Lampley talks about it. George said Mike would stand in front of him late and pay the man. Exactly what happened. He was touching Moorer throughout the fight, although he was being thoroughly outboxed. I won big money on that fight. That one, Hop vs Tito, and Evander vs Tyson. Biggest wins I've had. I'm due for another now that I think about it...!!!
Teddy said the same thing in the 1st round and going into the 10th.."He's setting you up for a sneak shot, you're in his distance and he'll set you up..change the distance and move to the side". For a southpaw poor Moorer moved strictly into Foremans right until the 7th round. He was being touched and stood still with it and Foremans jab the entire time Double M was boxing.
Hopkins v Tito was great. It was jaw dropping how hard Hopkins was slept on and dismissed going into that one.
