  • Summary

  • Long before he was selling millions of grills, a hamburger loving George Foreman surprised many in April of 1991. Proving that age is just a number, the 42 year-old Foreman sought to reclaim the Heavyweight title after being retired for 10 years against the 28 year-old champion, Evander Holyfield.

    We discuss the careers of both boxers leading up to the fight, including their Olympic Medals, the most infamous call in boxing history, and the fight in Zaire with Muhammad Ali that transcended sports.

    This highly anticipated match had many celebrities making their predictions for the fight, including one notable athlete who predicted a biscuit would win the bout. The sporting world underestimated the older Foreman, but as you'll hear this fight was just a precursor of what was to come from George Foreman in the 90's. 

    We also give our hot takes on Steven Seagal movies, LeBron James’ importance to the NBA, and our bold predictions for Super Bowl LVII.
