- ESPN Classic: Heavyweight fight between George Foreman (213 lbs; 27-0-0) and Gregorio Peralta (197 lbs; 77-5-8). Full fight in one part.
1970-02-16; Madison Square Garden, New York, New York, United States - Sport
What a great fight! Not many can say they went 10 rounds with Foreman, Peralta had amazing instincts and a great style he did really well
he's 35 so experience definitely helped him
Would have been a draw in Argentina. Also Bonavena would have been given the win over Frazier in their first fight.
Old George will always be my hero, boxing or not, but Peralta was a classy guy and a classy and gentlemanly boxer.
Peralta was highly underrated.
George Foreman Peralta had some talent, if only he had two hands, highly experienced Argentine, which boxing is deep there.
This was the first real test for George Foreman. Gregorio Peralta was a stylish boxer and much underrated. I was surprised that he didn't win the light heavy weight crown from Willie Pastrano.
Peralta tested him again in their rematch. He made it to the 10th round again (which very few did against Foreman, especially before his first retirement) before getting knocked out.
It's interesting watching such a young, light, limber, athletic George Foreman. He didn't have the bulk or the intimidation thing going for him yet. And kudos to Gregorio Peralta--a tough, crafty, veteran fighting a very smart fight. It's too bad the older, smarter, patient, disciplined 40-something Foreman's brain couldn't have been imported into his younger body. That would've been a helluva fighter.
He always was feared and hadpower when he came back he was actually less feared still had the power tho came back smarter as u said
@@odj5732 Yeah I don't know what this guy said he was probably the most feared man in boxing then and was already huge.
Foreman was frightening. Ham fists. That look on his face was intimidating. The sound that his punches made when they landed was chilling. Mike Tyson was a bad man, but young Foreman was scarier IMO. That height, those shoulders. So strong.
thats like how a young pre prime TYSON couldnt KO James Tillis & Mitch Green , at the Time TYSON was still extrememly young & didnt fully get to the Powerful Prime yet . The TYSON of late 1987 & 1988 wouldve destroyed TILLIS & GREEN, & he wouldve also destroyed RIBALTA in the early rds as well
And yet he had more stamina when he was old and heavier.
Foreman's inexperience shows a little more in the early part of his career then many other fighters at this stage probably because George didn't really have a amatuer career. Lack of experience is the reason that he lost to Ali. If I remember correctly George had a total of 17 amatuer fights which included his 1968 gold medal match. I believe that Sugar Ray Leonard had something like 150 amatuer fights by the time he won his gold medal. A lot of credit should go to Peralta for going the distance with Foreman, It took a tough and wise fighter to do that.
How about forman going for gold in his 17th fight
Whoa, wait he was a Olympian Medalist with only a couple amateur fights.
You full of shit. You contradicted your own statement. You said Foreman is inexperienced then give props for Peralta going the distance with a inexperience fighter 😂😂
@@bunnyman6321 What you say? I'm just askin. ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
Cuando bona vena le ganó a peralta mal la gente en la Argentina se apuro en calificar a bona vena que finalmente mostró su incapacidad y mostró hilacha en todos los los lados que fue viva gozo peralta carajo
Adam,
Thanks a lot for providing us with this absorbing fight-young enthusiastic Foreman vs canny and not to be underestimated Peralta!
Grande Peralta! Le diste una buena pelea y lo cortaste al big george. Q orgullo de q seas argentino! 🇦🇷
Not even Ali dared to fight Foreman like this. My hat off.
He did. And taught foreman a lesson the world can never forget
@@funvid9136 I have great admiration for Ali. That being said, he won over Foreman by fighting shrewdly (and deserves credit for winning). Peralta, on the other hand, fought with pure heart. This is why I admire him even more.
Ali studied this fight to learn that Foreman would tire in the later rounds. .
But put him out in the eighth round
But how many fights did Foreman have that went longer than?
La primera vez que veo esta pelea, me sorprendió Peralta, el aguante del público y el abucheo a Foreman. Lamentable el localismo de los jueces, pero eso ocurrió en todos lados y en toda la historia del boxeo, desde las peleas de club de barrio hasta las mas grandes arenas internacionales. Felicitaciones por el archivo!!!
Yo la vi en directo gáno peralta
@@ricardoacevedo8913 vivo, vivo? Osea en NY?
Peralta was impressive especially because he was almost exclusively a left handed puncher with nothing much going on with his right hand. It also does show the inexperience of Foreman because I don't feel he made much adjustments, instead he just kept at the pressure and over-powering game which worked out fine for Foreman here.
In context, this was a great fight between a 21yr old and a crafty veteran.
They fought again the following year and Peralta made it to the 10th round before being knocked out. Against prime Foreman, that's about as impressive of an 0-2 as it gets.
@@Rodanguirus
Well said, definitely impressive.
Impressive. Impressively so.
Goes to show you, even the hardest punchers in history couldnt KO everybody ....... TYSON, MORRISON, TUA, SHAVERS, RUDDOCK, BONECRUSHER & LISTON had to go the distance a few times as well
Agree but Tyson's opponents could only survived.
Good work from Peralta, gave George all he could handle, would love to have seen them fight another 5 rounds.
¡Qué grande el Goyo...!!!! Uno de los pocos que pudo aguantarle en pie toda la pelea a Foreman, le peleó de igual a igual y estuvo a punto de tirarlo un par de veces.
Really, really enjoyed watching this. It was interesting that Cosell in his commentary said half the press thought picking Peralta as an opponent was maybe overmatching Foreman for this stage of his career development, and they may have been right. Peralta came to win, he had tons of heart, skill and fight - incredible really for someone under 200lbs and taking some of Big George's best body shots with, what I'm assuming, were 8oz gloves. Could have gone either way. Great fight.
Professor "Goyo" Peralta !!!
En 12.25 tras el terrible golpe de Peralta, Foreman buscaba las cuerdas y esperaba la campana
no sabia que un argentino le había dado duro a Foreman, es algo que no se dice demasiado
y bonavena tambien los unicos 2 grandes del peso pesado argentino
@@beatbsaiko4045 antes que elos 2 Luis Ángel Firpo Nockeo al campeón del mundo Jack Dempsey y lo robaron...en una de las peleas más escándalosas..de la historia del boxeo mundial.
Peralta's does much better than I expected in this bout, I think Forman forgot the lessons he learned in this bout by the time of the Rumble in the Jungle. This is another experienced fighter he had to go the distance with, Ali's experience is what took him down, and Peralta only used one hand, Ali used both and Ali had the fastest one-two on the planet by a heavyweight. Good fight in this bout all the way. 👍
Peralta was a damn good fighter
Wow I didn't know Peralta
I wonder just how many of Big George’s fights actually went the distance?
The Young one had 4.
One was only 8 but went to the judges, the others are full.
I had the fight scored 96-95 for George Foreman. With the 1st and 9th rounds being the rounds that won the fight for Foreman. Had Foreman lost either round he would've lost the entire fight.
This is the 1st fight Foreman was 15-0 (not the 2nd fight when he was 27-0)
un asalto más y foreman kodicen que Ali estuvo analizando esta pelea durante muchas horas para preparar la pelea de Kinsasa en en 74grande Goyito !!!!
Me saco el sombrero por Peralta un caballero del boxeo antítesis del fanfarrón de Bonavena. Valentía y buena técnica ante un jovencísimo Foreman. Vendió cara su derrota ante ese portento físico. Foreman recibió sus buenos
Golpes que le hicieron tambalear. Un tiempo después le daría una paliza a Frazier
George had a really crisp jab, he should have made it a greater strategic part of his arsenal.
I remember this fight---was on the undercard of the Frazier-Ellis fight which was to unify the heavyweight crown. Although Foreman had trouble, people were saying he would beat Frazier in 2-3 yrs, and he did just that
I guess the last referee who scored it 9 to 1 was the only sober one judging that night? lol
Jesus... Peralta was tough... 26:33 is a left not many survive [if you pause it at 26:35, it's almost a Linda Blair moment]
it landed pretty good I don't know if foreman put much power in it
Has anyone seen films anywhere of Foreman-Peralta two?
I like how peralta held up his arm to touch gloves with big george at the end of every round, possibly in hopes to stay on georges good side but george never acknowledged it 😂
This is a wonderful display of extreme body punching by George Foreman, as well as a badass fight. The way George stalked the opponent and picked him off with left jabs, scoring a punch at a time was brilliant; He couldn't miss a punch in the 1st round and those thudding right hooks to the body were very nicely done-- George put everything he had into ferocious body shots. Greg Peralta however, was sharpshooting with left hook counters throughout the fight and nailed Foreman square on the jaw at the end of the 4th round, which surprised me that George didn't even go down from it-- that was a huge cracking shot from a sneaky fighter with a lot of power. But Foreman stayed consistent and tore up the midsection with brutal combinations, landing clean effective punches that took everything out of Greg Peralta by the tenth round; This guy was a real body snatcher and what a terrific fight. I really enjoyed it.
How do you think a young Ali or Sonny liston would have done against this Foreman?
@@jeffreykaufmann4625
Liston is always a difficult match for Foreman, espacially this unexperienced one.
Alo takes him, pretty shure about that, he lacks some of the skills that made him dangerous in this bout.
Que choreoooo!!! Esta pelea la gano Peralta....
Nooo que viste vos !! Foreman un pibe inexperto lo calzo varias veces
@@maximilianogabriel9982 forman boxeo así todo su carrera lo que lo hacia bueno era su pegada
Wow...a good fight and Foreman was so exhausted in round 10 he couldn't control his body. Surprising he didn't have his come to Jesus transformation after this fight as he did after Young in San Juan. Cosell missed or dismissed several big punches by Peralta in the last couple of rounds as Gregorio got braver when Foremen's punches started to lose steam. Shades of Zaire on full display.
Good fight
Goyo robbed
AGUANTE PERALTA!!!
Great fight!. In my view, as an aside, back in that day, I was in my mid teens, and it didn't seem like a really big time event, unless Howard Cosell was giving the play by play, or in this case the blow by blow.
Peralta un maestro boxeador
I was 7 years old
We all were at one time.
i wonder would would win a fight if this version of george foreman fought 1964 cassius clay :D
Aladdin Aldilawi He would have knocked Clay out!
***** Ali was bigger and stronger better defensively in 74...the skinny 60's Ali would never had taking Foremans punches or pressure.
+Will Marini
Ali by 66'67 was physically nearing what would have been his peak. Ali in '74 had one good fight left in him, and of course in '75 he fought in conditions with Frazier that hardly any other fighter would have survived. After '75 Ali should have retired, his physical issues were far too much.
+Aladdin Aldilawi
Foreman would have lost to Clay as would most boxers. In Zaire, the ring didn't allow for "dancing" cause of the heat, and the ring was quite small. It was insane fighting the likes of Foreman in those conditions. Foreman knocked out Peralta in the rematch, as Foreman's timing was getting better, and I believe he broke Peralta's arms. Foreman's brother reminded him of this before his match with Ali and they thought he could either knock Ali out or break his arms. What most people don't realize was that Ali was an incredibley strong man physically.
***** why is it that im always finding your ugly ass in the comments on some boxing video bashing Ali like usual?!
Why do they have the Red & Yellow Shit at the bottom of the screen. I'm trying to watch a fight!
Why do you have brown shit on your teeth?
💩💩💩😬💩💩💩
Que excelente ese ultimo round. Que buena tecnica le dio su entrenador. Que lastima que por seguirle a Peron dejo todo.
Tostadas enchiladas frittatas chalupas.
Its like a slow white mayweather vs diego corrales with a jab, peralta may have won this one though.
Lol
I bet Ali watched this fight over n over, especially round 9
Para pelear con un grande como Foreman no lo hiso nada mal dió buena pelea grande goyo
Habia que aguantarle 10 rounds a ese foreman, era una bestia con una potencia que intimidaba a cualquiera. Peralta no solo lo aguanto, sino que conecto algunos golpes terribles como en 12:25
Gregorio peralta 100 . George foreman 97 . Champion . Gregorio Peralta
10 rounds with him both fights
Its easy to see why Ali was confident given that Foreman hadnt gone more than 3 rounds since fighting Peralta 3 years prior to the Rumble
Ali never fought Peralta. Before this his fight is mostly in Argentina
@@redemissarium eh?
I thought Peralta was amazing
Decent B LEVEL fighter, but never beat a Great fighter, beat a long list of BUMS, & lost a few times to low level opponents, is why hes not considered a GREAT FIGHTER.
I know this is a younger forman with only 16 fights under his belt, but this guy is not a big fella. Everybody says that forman beats smaller guys into oblivian because of the Frazier incedents. This just goes to show that every fighter is a law unto himself. As much as Im gonna get flack for saying this, I think this is a good case for saying Rocky Marciano gives young George trouble. I think it is much more competative than people think and I think it is not a streach to think Marciano could come out with a win or even a KO. Im not saying George doesnt do the same, even more so than not, but I think if this guy can make take George the distance, Marciano shows better.
I think a few of the big names avoided peralta..
Did you hear 9-1 "Foreman" ? What Horse crap! The fix was in! The Garden stood to make too much money off foreman. NO WAY it should have been more than 5-4 Foreman at best.
Peralta made a mistake by not throwing more rights. Foreman was susceptible to right hand leads!
Wasnt a mistake he was avoiding
Terrible zurdazo le metió Peralta en 12:25
Foreman should have been circling the other way
You should have minded your own fkg business.
21:03 途中から意地の張り合い、ヤケクソになってる。ペラルタというのもかなり強いんだな。フォアマンのパンチ喰らっても耐えてた。
George got the KO in the rematch.
Foreman's elbow strikes cut open Pires but Peralta was wise to it which is why at the final bell it was Foreman who was effectively KOd. Foreman's return success shows how much boxing talent had declined by the time Holyfield, Klitschkos and Lewis came around. The best athletes had been recruited early into other sports like football, basketball and baseball.
Very well said and the truth. Anyone who thinks fighters today are anything compared to great eras like Great Depression and Golden Age don't know boxing. They fight less, train less, spar less, and with worse trainers you can see so many techniques are extinct.
Creo que goyo tenia mejor quijada que frazier
Fix.
Con 18 kilos menos que foreman peralta lo cago a tronoadas
What fight was the ref watching? 9-1 Foreman???? Yes, Foreman won the fight but I think the 5-4-1 judge is a lot closer to reality than the referee.
ingenuitas The referee doesn't score the fight and no,Peralta won the 8th round ,maybe the last?thats about it.
+Will Marini Yes, the refree scores the fight during this time.
Anthony Freeman I guess??
***** Listen to when he reads the scores. He reads Mark Kram's score. I'm a former fighter. Mark ref'd one of my fights before
6-4 Foreman ...........Peralta fought gallently.............this fight needed 5 more rounds....Peralta takes him
Peralta mükemmel dövüştü.
Greg won
98-93 Foreman
Peralta won this fight
Grande goyo
I think foreman lost but i just skimmed it lol
Ganó peralta
De punta punta . Ganó peralta
Lunch meat
8-2 Foreman. Peralta, a guy with a lot of good wins and a real good career, fought like prime jimmy young but was smaller. To his credit,foreman popped that fence post jab out frequently and effectively enough to put rounds in the bank. Vs jimmy young George literally didn't do anything. Foreman's jab is five times harder than peralta's hardest shots...which are cuffing and pesky ....a pea shooter vs a cannon......the 5-4-1 card is ridiculous...but new york fight crowds love the under dog.
Stop trolling
"Foreman's jab is fivevtimes harder than peralta's hardest shot"
What did i just read...
Another Fix.
Pad those records for the big paydays.
(See Ali ).
Mr.Eggplant: Yeah.Sure.
@stop eating animals Well.... YEAHHH!! It was corrupt even before Ali OR Tyson!
What a robbery. Jesus
I THINK A DRAW WOULD HAVE BEEN APPROPRIATE!
Perolta was Robbed plain and simple
Yea he was he was ducking good
@@cmoneytheman No. Foreman won this. Peralta fought well, but George landed more significant power blows..finished strong. 9th Round sealed it.
@@buddhaparadox I said he was ducking good why u saying no for
PERALTA was a Decent B LEVEL fighter, but never beat a Great fighter, beat a long list of BUMS, & lost a few times to low level opponents, is why hes not considered a GREAT FIGHTER.
This man will not go down
