Hey David, I’m sorry you are going through a really tough time right now. Of course I have no idea what it is but from my own experience and I have been through hell and back the key is never give up and never give in. Honestly my story is very inspiring I am a person that was mentally physically abused grew up in the ghetto didn’t learn how to read and write until I was 30. I was starved and I never gave up, financially I am set for the rest of my life, in the process I lost some of the most important people in my life The grief was overwhelming but I took it one day at a time sometimes one hour at a time and things got better. Never give up

@@jayedwards1205 “didn’t throw punches with leverage”. You’re a funny guy. Hilarious. You obviously know nothing about physics and how a lever functions. And you don’t need a “snap” if you have accelerated motion which would allow you to put a dent in a suit of armor. Frazier delivered power from his feet through his core. George did not need to do that. He pulled his elbows behind his body and squared his stance because he did not fear being hit.

What an incredible video, I can't describe the feeling I got when I saw this in my notifications. I asked Foreman on Twitter a while ago if he was scared going into this fight, and he answered "Only after I was dropped did I get scared. I thought his career was hype until I felt his power." I'm sorry to hear that you're going through a rough patch. If it helps you feel any better, I truly appreciate the hard work you put into these videos.

The fact that Foreman eventually won this given how recklessly he fought in the 3rd, Lyle's ademantium chin, and how many power shots that just barely missed or didn't connect quite right is bananas

Thanks for sharing this fight video. I had no idea that such a brutal fight had ever happened. The title that you gave this video is definitely correct!

[@michaelferreri1256]

Superb analysis! Certainly one of the most entertaining and brutal of heavyweight fights EVER! You do great work.

[@dontatmebitches]

love your vids. your video on Ali vs norton got me into boxing. i was wondering what your thoughts on the eddie hall vs Hafþór? and might you do a joke fight breakdown on it?

[@DCGomez-zg1wd]

I saw this fight live on TV. Back then they’d regularly put big fights on the network television. The punishment these two took is still mind boggling. This era had so many greats.

[@explosionof9]

I saw this fight before but your breakdown highlighted great details I'd missed. Thanks!

[@s.nihilista4853]

I hope things get better champion! Just keep answering the next bell..and thank you for your work highlighting the sweet science. Your work helps me through my rough times as well. 🥊 👊

[@watchmanonthewall14]

We watched it LIVE on TV. We were all jumping up and down and screaming.

[@spreadeagle2561]

David,your videos are always brilliant.I hope everything turns out well for you.

[@bluehorizons2508]

Another excellent video.. Thank you once again and wishing you even more personally all the very best!! x

[@RealJRoyall]

Hey man, I'm sorry to hear you're going thru it. I can really relate to that, feels like life is Ray Robinson and I'm the novice who drew the short straw in sparring. But for what it's worth, your videos help me want more for myself and inspire me to work. Covering these fighters, regular men who chose to be more, has really helped keep my mental straight. I appreciate you, man. I hope life gets easier for you.

Keep your head up homie. Heres hoping it turns out well for you. Appreciate the content

[@mrjpd303]

Dude I hope everything gets better for you. I’m impressed you got it in you to do such a great video. Very professional 👍 Keep it up my dude I’ll pray for you 🙏❤️

[@vincentwilliams2891]

Whatever you're going through, many prayers a blessings to you sir. Your channel is indeed a blessing to those of us who have a passion and appreciation for the martial arts, in my case, the sweet science. It seems like those who give freely of knowledge seem to go through the most, that's likely because of the immense sacrifice neccessary to educate so unselfishly. Stay strong my brother, you've got your fans' prayers and support.

Great video, love your stuff!

[@nishanthsurendran7721]

Love your videos. Keep fighting man.

[@danharris7190]

Awesome video. It was great to hear you are drawing inspiration from Foreman's grit and determination. I feel it too. Thanks heaps for the video. You do excellent work. All the best to you.

What I love about *BIG GEORGE* , and why he will always be in my top 5 favorites, is how he NEVER tried to take the easy path. He should have beaten Ali, and every fighter would have taken a few tuner fights to get their confidence back after that loss. Not George. He wants to fight Ron Lyle, one of the baddest and hardest hitting heavyweights of all time. Then he goes on to fight FIVE MEN in one night next. His final chapter, George Reborn in his 40s is the best and proper

[@jaybreacher4430]

He wouldn't of ever beaten ali. The fight was over as soon as the Ali boomaye chant was coined

[@jayedwards1205]

Weird, this people with Foreman fetishes ...a vastly overrated fighter, he beat Frazier and Norton, perfect foils for his style and was easily beaten by Ali and Jimmy Young, then quit ... at be time, he as viewed as a headcase, channeling his hero, Sonny Liston ... the fight with 5 journeyman boxers was an embarrassment, a circus show ...I actually watched these guys back in the day and no one missed Big George after Jimmy Young destroyed him and Georgie quit boxing

[@waynemarchel9667]

George Foreman is and always will be the greatest heavyweight of all time Full Fucking stop. My Favorite heavyweight by far

[@iphonemodDOTcom]

Yeah George did fight five men one after the other in one night. But the press that covered the story called it "George's night of shame" they were what the American's call "tin cans"....

[@MackTheGovnah]

This is one of the greatest heavyweight fights ever of this era, and it solidified George as better than the rest. He had that extra oomph inside that could carry him through the storm. Most fighters and even champions don’t have this!

[@yasielromero8236]

Awesome video as always. I hope you can put your troubles behind you and keep pushing through, wishing you the best

[@roberthowes6219]

What wonderful footage, excellently edited and narrated.

[@samueldowney2806]

"What excuses do you have now, George?" This was a crazy fight. The power on display, the damage taken and the will shown was like nothing else. All the best to you for your own struggles David.

[@Nick_792]

Oh yeah this IS a GREAT fight!

[@EatMyShortsAU]

Nice video man, keep up the good work :)

[@baitbait65]

Thanks for this and all of your videos.
