Tsurkan (152 ¼) came out throwing heavy punches in the opening round and periodically Foreman (153 ½) elected to trade with the Ukrainian rather than box and move. As a result, Tsurkan, 5’8″, landed several hard hooks to the head when Foreman quit moving and decided to trade leather rather than let his quicker hands control the tempo and the pace of the bout.
It was the same story in the 2nd, with both men standing in the center of the ring and Tsurkan’s scoring with the heavier shots, as the two former amateur stars from the old Soviet regime once again exchanged punches. Tsurkan caught Foreman, 5’11″, along the ropes in the 4th and rocked the undefeated boxer with a volley of blows including a slashing left hook to the face that opened up a deep cut underneath Foreman’s right eyelid. With the New York fight fans on their feet and cheering the heated exchanges Tsurkan jolted Foreman several times after scoring with arcing left hooks to the head.
