Description:

Hamed/Kelley on the highest level of the scale! Take one monstrous puncher with no defense, and one fair-to-middling boxer with decent accuracy, and you have a battle worth being commented on by Cosell.

First time I saw this fight, I couldn't believe Foreman could get up from what he received from Lyle. Tremendous heart!

George Foreman had alot of heart to get up from the two knockdowns. The last one he went down face first. Two of the best sluggers ever.

I saw this live on ABC. Just about the greatest fight ever. I didn't think Foreman would get up.

There will never be another better fight caller than HOWARD COSELL. Never. You'd have to go back to DON DUNPHY of the 30s to find someone who knew how to bring drama. DOWN GOES FRAZIER, DOWN GOES FRAZIER! Who can forget it?

For all his faults as a football announcer, Cosell did know boxing and he did make it interesting. He alson helped create Ali's public image.

This was a crossroads fight for both fighters. This is one of my all time favorites. A real slugfest and great commentary from Howard Cosell. What drama!

This is the kind of fight that can save boxing from that UFC stuff. Some skill but lots of slugging.

Yeah I think the Shavers-Lyle fight was way better than this one!

Brutal fight, with sledge-hammer blows. Lyle had a great right.

Its funny that Lyle learned how to box in prison. Reminds me of the movie Undisputed

Awesome fight. If you loved this fight, check out the fight Lyle had with Shavers the previous year. One fight I always hoped to see was Foreman vs Shavers. The next best thing was Foreman vs Lyle.
