Foreman Knocks Out Peralta in Oakland Showdown
George Foreman stopped Gregorio Peralta in the 10th round at the Oakland Coliseum Arena to stay on track for a title shot. Foreman said his manager will decide opponents, while Saddler emphasized the victory over Peralta rather than rushing a fight with Joe Frazier. Peralta, 36, landed some rights but could not halt Foreman’s momentum as fans booed at times over the stoppage.
