Seeing the old Italian pummel the man bun was hilarious

[gringo]

I actually witnessed this, an elderly couple about 70 years old, came into a Jack in the Box for a late night snack. there was group of young punks there also, about 19-20 year old guys. One of the punks thought he would be tough and pick on the old folks and insulted them a couple of times, which they ignored. So the punk threw a cup at them. The old man told the kid to behave or suffer the consequences. The old couple got their order and were headed for the exit when the punk kid blocked their path and spit a huge wad of snot on the old ladies shoe. Right on top of her shoe! It was over in an instant. The old man hit that punk so hard the kid went right though the plate glass window of Jack in the Box and landed outside the store. Amazingly the punk only had a few small cuts from the glass. Cops came and took the kid to jail, Ha Ha. Cops asked the old guy how he could hit so hard as to lift someone off the ground and send them flying through a plate glass window. Old man just said, "I'm a retired iron worker."

Standing next to George Foreman is legendary trainer Angelo Dundee (Ali) & Foreman's style in this fight is such that you can almost see him setting up for the bomb he was going to throw that Moorer didn't see coming.

My Uncle was a fighter and always warned me that in a pro fight most older fighters may not have the endurance for 12 rounds but if they catch you early it could be lights out. Strength doesn't necessarily leave you when you get older if you stay in relatively good shape. That "old man strength" is something to witness. He also said never underestimate anyone.

For an 86 year old being able enough to move and throw punches like that is truly remarkable, whether he is an ex-boxing pro or not. Astonishing.

[mikefabbi]

I love the way the old Italian guy decided to wear his old man sweater and old man pants before creaming the young guy.

[anthonykeller]

When I first started full contact karate my master would hit me and I never saw from where the punches came. Three years later I could see the punches coming, but still couldn’t do anything about it. Speed, power, technique were just too much to overcome. Truly an awesome experience. Too bad my job changed and I had to give it up.

[MikeHarrison]

Every time I see Charlie Zelenoff taking a beating it makes my life a happy place.

[crashandburngaming]

Foreman was not overweight, nor out of shape lol. He was right where he needed to be foe a guy his size and height.
He trained harder for this fight than any most others.

[altamontdarby]

Foreman wasnt overweight nor out of shape. And he was 45 years old when beat Moorer!👏🏾👍🏾💪🏾👌🏾❤️

[mikhellen]

I saw an interview with Hulk Hogan one time, where he said that he sparred with George Forman at his camp, one time, and that he had never been hit so hard in his life!😊

[commonsensecritic]

I want to see that thumbnail video again!!! That was truly amazing.

[bch]

I knew the old dude was gonna mess him up when he started warming and his first couple of moments. 😮 I was like. Oh hell. That old dude can move ...

[BokamosoSereba]

Watching just before the tyson vs jake fight!!!🔥🔥🔥

[freaker]

also goes to show that experience and skills outsmart young people who thinks they already know everything. this is true even in other line of jobs not just boxing or martial arts.

My old man was a good amateur boxer in HS and College, and in the Navy in WWII — he was in a gym in Brooklyn, late ‘47 or early ‘48, and a trainer offered him $5.00 a round to box a young boxer. My old man stood 6’1” 210. The boxer was about 50 lbs lighter and a few inches shorter. Three rounds later my old man was wondering where he was. Later, he said, “I couldn’t see his hands move, couldn’t hit him, couldn’t stop him from hitting me and half the time I thought there was another guy in the ring and it was two-on-one. The other boxer? Kid Gavilan. Good work, Pop, at least he didn’t knock you out (of course, Gavilan was just getting a sweat up in a light work out, and probably did not want to kill the old man — I mean, maybe he was 31 or 32)….

[fizzgigmalmy]

George a lean....mean....grillin machine"....I'll never forget....went and bought one straight away 😅

[douglasspencer]

I played golf with a 75 year old, ex Para combat engineer and rugby league professional, even though he’d had a triple bypass and as said 75 years old. I wouldn’t of taken him. He was as hard as nails.

[Jamestele]

Zellenoff is a danger to society and himself. He needs to be committed, before he hurts someone who is not expecting him.

[myquestionaskingaccount]

"Delivering 2 swift jabs" when he doesnt even throw a single jab. I see you know your boxing sir..

[thodorissaritziotis]

You always know he's a bad ass boxer when he starts touching his nose with his glove 😂
