Latest Boxing News – Foreman Decisions Moore
By Chris Williams: Undefeated light middleweight contender Yuri Foreman (27-0, 8 KOs) defeated Irish prospect James Moore (16-2, 10 KOs) by a dull 10-round unanimous decision on Saturday night to defend his little known NABF light middleweight title at the Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The final judges’ scores were 99-91, 100-90 and 99-90. Foreman, ranked #4 in the World Boxing Association, #6 in the IBF and #8 in the WBC, ran throughout the fight, playing a game of tag and you’re it with Moore, 30, and making the fight as dull as you imagine.
Foreman Decisions Roman
By Erik Schmidt: Unbeaten NABF light middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (25-0, 8 KOs) successfully defended his title on Thursday night with a lopsided 10-round unanimous decision over contender Saul Roman at the Aviator Sports Arena , in Brooklyn, New York. The fight was never remotely close as Foreman easily was in control over every round of the fight. The final judges’ scores were 97-93, 98-92, and 98-92. The only round I could possibly see giving to Roman, 27, was the 7th in which he matched Foreman for punches landed. However, Roman’s shots were considerably weaker and he was outfoxed in the round, hence I couldn’t even give him that round.
Foreman dominated the first and second rounds, using his lateral movement, fast hands and superior boxing skills to confuse the much slower Roman. Foreman could do pretty much whatever he wanted to do without worry of being hit in return by Roman, who was always a step slow in his attempts to land. In the 2nd and third rounds, Roman was cut over both his left and right eyes, the left one being a particularly nasty cut that would give him problems for the remainder of the bout.
