 as far as he could, dug holes, chopped wood and ran to the point of exhaustion.

He made his professional debut stopping Clyde Weaver at 1:16 of the first round. He floored Weaver twice: first with a left to the chin, then with a left to the body, before the referee called a halt to the match. He won his third pro fight on September 26, 2009 at the Coushatta Casino in Kinder, Louisiana against Marvin Ray Jones by TKO in the first round. At November 2011, his professional record is 14-0. His last bout on October 27, 2011 in Tyler, Texas. Some say George III possesses some of his Father's in ring skills; like his stamina, and power, you can also say Foreman III has a great combination of Strength, Speed, and Agility. Power is also shown as you can see from Foremans boxing records below that he is 14-0 and 13 of them have been KO or TKO, one being a unanimous decision.
