WBC HW CHAMPIONSHIP
Ernie Terrell 15-2-2 (1) UD12 George Foreman 14-4-0 (10)
Ernie Terrell put his name as one of the best Heavyweights in the world with a convincing unanimous decision win against hard-hitter George Foreman. Terrell had won this title last May against Larry Holmes on a very big upset and it was his first title defense.
Terrel did the neccesary to win the first two rounds using his hand speed and ring movement against an static George Foreman.
“Big” George starting to find the target on the third round and rocked Terrell with a big combination but Terrel still landed more punches to made the round and even one.
On the fourth round Foreman bombs continued doing some damage, Terrell connected some good counters but this tieme it wasn’t enough to win the round.
On the fifth round Foreman launched his total attack and hurt Terrell several times with his uppercuts and with a straight right near the end of the round but Terrell stayed on his feet.
The sixth round was an action-packed one with Terrell landing more punches but with Foreman connecting the strongest ones.
Terrell outboxed Foreman on the seventh round to easily win the stanza but Foreman answered clearly winning the eighth round and again hurting Terrell with his violent uppercuts form the inside.
Terrell edged rounds nine and ten being the more active man on the ring, Foreman wanted to finish the fight with only one punch and he almost did it at the end of the tenth round when a strong right hook to the head made Terrell stumble.
On the last two rounds Foreman looked tired and Terrell easily outlanded him to win both stanzas and the fight.
My scorecard was 117-112 for Terrell, the official scorecards were 117-112 (x2) and 116-113 for the champion Terrell.
