01:05 ...seven and a half years in Colorado State prison.

01:09 ...Alice got an 11th round TKO.

01:12 ...ropes and Lyle all over him.

01:16 ...staggering George, who comes wobbling really...

01:20 Okay, here he goes with a very good right hand. Very good right...

01:23 ...Lyle's left. As I said at the very...

01:26 I don't see any of the old Foreman confidence.

01:29 ...this round and Lyle will get very confident and run away.

01:31 Lyle right...

01:33 ...as you can see, Lyle is giving Foreman no respect and he's pressing...

01:36 [crowd cheering]

01:39 ...left and Lyle's in trouble. He's against the ropes trying to cover.

01:43 ...on Foreman. Foreman in the red trunks, Lyle in the white.

01:47 The leg's just a little rubbery. Foreman is a tremendous...

01:51 [crowd cheering]

01:55 ...well, everything happens in fights. We'll find out about it.

01:59 No saving by the bell.

02:02 ...is working very well on Foreman's left hand.

02:05 His left hand is down and Ron's going right over.

02:08 I tell you, Kenny...

02:10 ...get off. He's got to be more aggressive and kind of force the action.

02:14 [crowd cheering]

02:18 ...right hand, Kenny.

02:21 Gil Clancy...

02:23 [crowd cheering]

02:27 ...George just tried to hook to the body in response to...

02:30 [crowd cheering]

02:34 ...approaching the end of the round.

02:49 Lyle putting on a tremendous demonstration.

02:52 Now trying the... in the second round.

02:55 What's happened to him?

02:57 Well, Lyle caught him with a good left.

02:59 Now George... now George...

03:01 ...try a fight. Lyle is now... Lyle is now ready to go.

03:05 ...ahead. Lyle is now wide open.

03:08 He is... Lyle left.

03:11 Foreman goes down.

03:14 What a fight, Kenny.

03:16 ...the slug from his dreams. He was hurt.

03:18 He comes back and he staggers Lyle.

03:21 As Kenny said, both fighters leave themselves...

03:24 ...remembering George's absence of stamina with how it goes down.

03:29 [crowd cheering]

03:31 ...I think it's gonna be a match of power and a match of stamina.

03:34 ...they've been punching him with the damage they've each been rendered.

03:38 ...bad trouble now. Lyle trying to execute with...

03:41 ...falling forward over Lyle, trying to hit back.

03:45 Good right uppercut by Lyle.

03:48 [crowd cheering]

03:51 Now it's Lyle... ...skills, just punching away.

03:55 Each fighter in turn...

03:57 Lyle's gotta come back with...

03:58 Now it's Lyle down to the canvas.

04:00 ...almost unbelievable.

04:02 First one by George Foreman when it seemed Lyle had command of this...

04:07 ...but I feel I'm a champion at heart. I can always get up and win fights.

04:11 It's all over. You thought it was over for your own fighter...

04:14 ...but you never like to say it. Just keep moving to the right.

04:17 So you don't want to hear none of this stuff.

04:20 That was the final blow.
