(Big) George Foreman vs Rocky Sekorski (12/18/1987) (2/2)

[@Hank1974]

Foreman is very sneaky with his right-hand. Ask Teddy Atlas how Moorer got knocked out and he'll tell you. Basically, Foreman flicks a short jab out at you and makes sure to miss by a couple of inches. His opponent thinks he's too far away so they think they're safe. So when George throws that big right, they think "No biggie, he's out of range" when suddenly, "WHACK!", you're being lifted off the canvas. George was a very underrated boxer for his savvy.

[@davanmani556]

He did the same thing to Joe Frazier in their first fight.

[@godlikerich]

Big George had a GREAT jab. He wasn't just a power puncher who was reckless - especially in his later career. I think he was quite relaxed and did a lot of thinking in the ring in his second run at the heavyweight division. Obviously he still had that power but he conserved his energy and put those vicious, clubbing shots together beyond a straight, accurate and powerful jab.

[@T4Liam]

The guy had a good chin at least 😂 The power in Foreman's punches is huge.

[@mario_504]

I'm not sure Foreman was the greatest. But I am PRETTY SURE he was the most entertaining. And, the best or not, my favorite athlete EVER. The transformation of his character through the years, I mean, decades of activity are second to none! The Cooney and the Holyfield fights are amazing and his intelligence developed in a very special way with age. The man is a monster!

[@Boxing_Gamer]

You gotta love GFs combos. Each punch seems to blend into each other seamlessly.

[@1teela]

I feel that Mr Foreman is the best ever.

[@bastolord1]

foreman estaba de vuelta, a pesar de su edad debemos decir que se presentó en buena forma, su pegada era bestial, compensaba su falta de movilidad en el ring, uno de los grandes de todos los tiempos

[@Hank1974]

Nothing to gain for the Tyson camp. All risk, no reward. I would have loved to have seen it though.

[@brixtonmystery]

I think Rocky would take lead and still stand! Don't know his record but these shots put down HOF'ers easy and this guy took it. He can be proud, on that day he had the best chin ever.

[@willdrucker4291]

Wowwwww the great Harry Kalas announcing boxing with Al Bernstein.....always thought he just broadcasted Phillies and Eagles games....what a treat.

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

One of George's best comeback fights. His weight was good, his punches crisp, and of course his power never left him. Sekorski also was a good test as he wasn't a quitter. He tried to pound on George and even when hurt he hung in there to the end.

[@milojanis4901]

He still had a lot of power, but didn't have the same power as he had 20 years earlier. Nobody would. But if Sekorski woulda fought him in the 70s, he woulda known what canvas smelled and tasted like 👍

[@davanmani556]

@@milojanis4901Sekorski was in great shape for this fight.

[@bobmoore20]

god in heaven what a tough son of a bitch

[@Scoobydcs]

no shit!!! i still cant beleive he stayed on his feet hes like chuvalo! he looked like ahe could punch too how did his career go?

[@brockgeorge777]

Foreman offered virtually no defense because his offense protected him. Most of his opponents didn’t dare come in close enough to take advantage lest their fight-if not their career or life-end in a single blow.

[@freethinker-ci6rg]

The greatest of all times, that's George Foreman

[@Boxing_Gamer]

Never seen anyone throwing punches the way GF did, in his second career.

[@pediatrapaola5222]

a punch of big g is a serious matter

[@Feverishkiller]

LOL INDEED, FRIEND.

[@mitjandjija]

I totaly agree with you.Tyson even at 38-40 yeras of age had great skills.The problem was his confidence.

[@dylanthetyrantking1001]

And training/conditioning

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

Actually, it was George's 5th comeback fight, and he was 23 lbs lighter than his first return fight (Steve Zouski).

[@consiliere96]

he defended well. its just a strange tactic (with the head) XD

[@mario_504]

One must assume that, by not kissing the canvas, Sekorski was actually a tree.

[@RegistrationCop]

I don't know man... I think that was a good stoppage. That guy was reaching the point where you get permanent brain damage.

[@dondajulah4168]

George was always very unorthodox with his punching. You could even call a lot of his punches “sloppy”, but he was very effective with that style. I call it the swinging and chopping style and George could get away with it because of his iron chin

[@2HitWonder]

Agreed, and that unorthodox style is one of the reasons I like to watch his fights. The announcers got a little carried away with the criticism.

[@RegistrationCop]

I guess they dont call him Rocky for nothing... He is probably Polish and Polish people tend to keep coming forward stubbornly no matter how bad their head is being mashed.

[@consiliere96]

why didnt the tyson fight come about? woulda been interesting

[@RAtMW88]

This Rocky guy had one of the best chins I've ever seen.

[@brixtonmystery]

One of the announcers does not like George too much.

[@dempsey9554]

I cant remember who said it but one of George's opponents from the 70s said twenty years after the fight that if anyone mentioned the foreman fight to him his nose starts to bleed

[@Wildhunter845]

Last punch was brutal

[@ИлюхинВладимир-о9к]

Роки Секорский очень крупный парень. Тайсон проиграл бы гораздо быстрее.

[@taxi14n]

Imagine George Foreman coming after you with nowhere to run. This will happen to you.

[@will13014]

I would be like : " Fine he just want to offer me a grill "

[@leodavies9383]

One i will be down and never getting up

[@StonedCatmp3]

Not only that. he has decent footwork as well. stays on you

[@dondajulah4168]

When you hit like GF, you better learn to cut off the ring or the opponent will turn the fight into a track meet. See the last three rounds against Tommy Morrison

[@georgeforeman7021]

Funny because I doubt he would feel it. This guy had a incredible chin and balls in his prime.

[@MultiGreat1]

He doesn't hit hard than just most guys, he hits harder than all of them.

[@pa16cologne90]

his record is won 23 (KO 11) / lost 13 (KO 4)

[@flyinghotwing]

that rocky dude was using his head as a punching bag for big george

[@froterons]

Thanks for draining the fat out of my food, Goerge! :D

[@michaelmohrle1773]

They say Rick was never Koed before so I checked his boxing record, he was Koed by Marvin Camel in the 9th round in '83. what's up with that ?

[@emohatred]

@capablemachine I dont get it either - you watch him and it looks like he can barely be bothered to fight. When he jabs people it seems to do a ridiculous amount of damage. Also another thing about george is his chin - i have seen him get wacked in the face so many times and yet he doesnt even flinch

[@jake76oh]

what fight are you watching its good that fight was stopped

[@techmaven5900]

True...Desire also.

[@FlashJJ1971]

I would say he had more than a decent chin. You could hit Sekorski with a baseball bat and he would probably still be standing. Gutsy performance by him.

[@vnmenme3692]

holy crap those were not pawwing shots wow he could have died and they would have had to lay him down or burry him verticaly

[@jamesben9589]

Underrated comment 😂😂😂😂😂 from 6 years back

Good ref

[@mikeiron]

was foreman better here or in 94 when e beat M moorer

[@Alexis-zy3cs]

He was better here. Faster, but in 90's he got more technical but loose defensive skills.

[@Seguris]

2:36 - 2:41 Most fighters would be out by then.

Muhammad Ali was a Real Man who Told and Deliver , GREATEST HEAVYWEIGHT champion ?

[@TartarusPyro]

true

[@THEKINKS08]

Referee should stop the bout 1 minute before..

[@counterstriving]

@WizardOnAcid7 Are you kidding? The guy had no defense left; Foreman was hitting him at will. (Also see zulubro's post.)

[@mrphilosophical]

oh man, u are so damn funny and right ! if i know i am fighting george foreman i would concede defeat at the moment the first few bombs hit me.

[@givebeesachance]

@consta4891 Morrison certainly. Holyfield would have been a great fight no matter when it took place.

[@Robard65]

5:43 Suddenly .. it hit him. But what? 🤣

[@Scoobydcs]

i cant for the life of me work out how the hell he stayed upright!!! the guy is made of granite. the right thing was done though its a really REALLY bad idea to take the beating that only george foreman could hand out

[@Scoobydcs]

hed probably knock the shit out of a predator too!!!

[@Scoobydcs]

no you didnt youd just waste a good piece of timber if you tried that with george lol

[@xelapucraw8694]

Sekorki's chin was loaded.

[@toddheimbuch5429]

George's punches look weak. Got those skinny arms. I think I could take him.

[@kennybushido9071]

George made white america comfortable with the fat boy thing,this George Foreman in this shape would have been hard to beat George Foreman is the strongest fighter ever,but the fat boy persona hurt his career.

[@jaceemory6622]

This is a test comment.

[@zulubro]

good stoppage for a guy who had no chance of winning. sustained beatings of fighters who "stay on their feet" is what leads to brain damage.

[@alteredlame666]

A soup can w/ a chin.

[@AnthonyJ74]

Foreman's power during his comeback was overrated. He was a strong guy with good punching power, but he was not a one-punch knockout artist. Foreman was a clubbing puncher. This guy Sekorski took bombs from Big George and didn't budge. Just like Lou Savarese did years later against Foreman.

[@rockethearse]

Haha overrated power. Suuuure. Foreman was 23-0 in his comeback until he fought Holyfield. Those fights lasted an average of 2.7 rounds. That doesn't happen with just average power. Give me a break. And if someone with the chin of Evander Holyfield says no one hit him harder, that's the end of the conversation.

[@Raul1971xxx]

The Pour Le Merit Medal for Rocky Sekorski. He have tons of Guts.

[@Raul1971xxx]

A very good fight.

Maybe.
