Yuri Foreman showed why he is 25-0 and a rising prospect as he dominated and busted up Mexican Saul Roman for a 10-round decision win. Foreman showed his class as he moved, ducked and fired in combinations with bad intentions. BodogLife.com had Yuri Foreman as a -200 boxing betting favorite in the Yuri Foreman vs Saul Roman fight.
Much has been made of Foreman wanting to become a rabbbi and thus not wanting to knock people out but merely to outpoint opponents in the ring. While you have to take Foreman for his word, some of the right hands that he cranked off Roman’s face tonight were thrown to render his man senseless, and on a few occasions he almost did. The OVER\Under was 9.5 rounds with the OVER at -360 at BodogLife.com.
Roman could not catch the darting Israeli as Yuri peppered his man with jabs and then followed up with lightning flurries to the head and body. The only weakness that I can see in Foreman is that he appeared in the ring tonight wearing a knee brace which could act up in the future but to date it has not affected him. Foreman is a smart boxer with a superb sense of distance and tonight he put on a boxing clinic in front of his Brooklyn fans.
