Fair use
Additionally, the fair use defense to copyright infringement was codified for the first time in section 107 of the 1976 Act. Fair use was not a novel proposition in 1976, however, as federal courts had been using a common law form of the doctrine since the 1840s (an English version of fair use appeared much earlier). The Act codified this common law doctrine with little modification. Under section 107, the fair use of a copyrighted work is not copyright infringement, even if such use technically violates section 106. While fair use explicitly applies to use of copyrighted work for criticism, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research purposes, the defense is not limited to these areas. The Act gives four factors to be considered to determine whether a particular use is a fair use: the purpose and character of the use (commercial or educational, transformative or reproductive); the nature of the copyrighted work (fictional or factual, the degree of creativity); the amount and substantiality of the portion of the original work used; and the effect of the use upon the market (or potential market) for the original work.

I remember seeing this fight live all those years ago. I was surprised by how well Morrison moved. Clearly he and his corner knew not to make the mistake of standing in front of Big George and thinking Tommy would knock him out if he just landed one or two of his famous big left hooks. My goodness Big George had an incredible chin! Another thing I remember, which is not shown clearly in this highlights video, is that at one point late in the fight, George had Tommy stunned and Tommy was there for the taking and George didn’t pull the trigger. He was asked about that in the after-fight interview and said he deliberately didn’t knock Tommy out at that point because he saw him as a young man with a great future, or something like that. It was surprising. It made me worried a bit for Foreman because someone who bet on him and lost a pile of money might have been rather upset, and done something about it. There was a later fight for Foreman, against Shannon Briggs. I think it was his last fight. Foreman clearly won, but the judges gave the win to Briggs. Foreman was remarkably gracious, right after the fight, saying the judges had spoken and congratulating Briggs and telling him to be a good champion and make sure to avoid drugs and so on. And I remember Briggs, who looked very surprised at having been awarded the win, was responding with “yes sir, yes sir” and being very deferential to Foreman. Foreman was, and is, an amazing human being in many ways.

Absolutely... and without question, you are right about that..!

[@minatoyellowflash100]

Yeah comeback Foreman was insane. He was hit with hundreds of shots flush on the chin by the hardest hitters in the world and never even went down once.

[@nicedoppy2077]

Totally TRUEEE"!!

[@gravycustards3178]

If I remember correctly Foreman attributed it to being much more relaxed in his fights post-comeback, so he didn't burn up as much nervous energy

[@RustyIsScared]

@@gravycustards3178 Yeah bro i researched a bit after this post and this is what he said himself. He paced himself much better knowing when to strike and when to take time off.

[@gerrymcintosh4477]

George Foreman could definitely take a punch. Amazing man.

[@Lynchfan88]

George was always heavy handed and he took anything Tommy threw and basically walked through it. I always equated George to the song, "Anything you can do I can do better" except it would go a little something like this, "Anything you can throw hard I'll throw back harder. I can throw everything harder than you!" Lol.

That left hook that George was getting hit with put so many men out he’s a freaking beast

[@killingheros3554]

Them hits affected George, though. Look at George's body and the look on his face?? Tommy's punches looked to almost spin George's whole body like a spinning top. Foreman is just an elite tough guy, if he was any less, he'd be laying on that floor in this match.

The reason it didn't stop Foreman was because it wasn't enough. Foreman isn't those other guys. Tommy gas was gettin low he barely escaped this.

Foreman is absolutely fun to watch, more so in his bald years of boxing. The way his guard is, his calm demeanor despite always seeming to land less punches, him appearing to walk through hard punches, and you could see how he stunned everyone whom he connected with his right. Makes you realize how much trouble Frazier was in, in their first fight.

yeah, and look at his demeanor before the defeat by Ali. Apparently Foreman was always a very very kind person underneath. Thank God - which George would do - we had his second carreer and life.

[@johntg123]

Big George. 81 fights 76 wins 68 knockouts his knockout rate is 1% lower than marcianos. But he fought almost twice as many fights as Marciano, he fought tougher opponents, and fought to the age of 48. He walked through Fraser twice and Norton. 3 of his five losses come at or after age 42 where he fought class fighters 20-24 years younger than him. He fights Ali more intelligently and he wins. Arguably GOAT.

[@joem7023]

We are talking about a man who definitely hit as hard as Tyson It was the greatest sport achievement/ performance I have ever seen. Ali should have retired he had nothing to prove. His legend and greatness was set.

Before I started watching I checked the date of the fight, found that Foreman was 44 and thought "Shit, this is going to be Foreman just barely holding on, isn't it?" Fuck no, Foreman was still a monster at 44, holy shit. And I hated that the casters were pointing out Foreman's age as if it made Tommy's running more embarrassing. NOBODY should think less of Morrison for having to perform some winded evasions from George, because even though he's older Foreman is still a legend, and Tommy keeping up and overcoming him despite some advanced years is still a crazy feat of endurance and power. This was a damn nice fight for both of these giants.

[@aswinastro]

@@DillonM13 Unfortunately, while Tyson vs. Moorer may have been a great fight, it would have always ended in Tyson's favor with Moorer scoring the odd knockdown or two only to see Tyson rise and use a quick 1-2 or a strong right hand or uppercut to knock Tommy down. Tommy was a beast, but his chin often didn't hold up. That is the reason he lost so many critical rights like the one against Mercer and Lewis (Although not many boxers could have survived Lewis's shots). His power was his boon and his average chin was his bane.
