GEORGE Foreman, who had a big waistline and even bigger punch, needed ' less' than-five minutes to dispatch Gerry Cooney on Monday night, then predicted he would ·get rid of heavyweight champion Mike Tyson even quicker. "I'm what you call a super-duper big-match heavyweight," said the 41- year-old, lIS-kilogram Foreman, who doesn' t worry much about what he eats. At the Convention Centre, he made a snatch of the 33-year-old Conney, smashing him to the floor twice, and knocking him out in the second round. presents Referee Joe Cortez didn' t bother to count after the second knockdown, but he could have counted way past ten. The end came at 1:57. Every Thursday Night, Local Talent Show Foreman, who held the heavyweight title in 1973-74, has been talking about challenging the unbeaten 23-year-old Tyson.

"I will probably knock him (Tyson) out a lot faster because he won't back or play an instrument. This is your up," Foreman said. While Foreman's come-back continues, Cooney said there would be no chance to polish that raw talent with more come-backs for him. "No more fighting," Cooney said. "There's not going to be any more Taxi (CC BEAT) come-backs for me." ------Admission R6 u.S.
