April 5th, 2008 All Ringside Boxing

Final Forum in association with Top Rank headlined an exciting night of boxing entitled “Fists a Flying at the Aviator” a sports and recreation center in Brooklyn , New York this past Thursday.

In the main event, NABF Super Welterweight Champion Yuri Foreman improved to 25-0 (8), out-boxing Saul Roman, 24-5 (20), over ten rounds with scores of 97-93 and 98-92 twice.

Foreman came out from the opening bell boxing and moving well which continued throughout the entire fight. During the third round, Roman was cut by an accidental head-butt over the left eye. The cut streamed with blood in the fourth round and was examined by the ringside physician who allowed the bout to continue.

Foreman continued his boxing exhibition and exercised lightning fast punches in the sixth round that caught Roman flush. Feeling the urgency that he was well behind on the scorecards, Roman came out in the seventh trying to chase Foreman down but could not cut off the ring effectively.

The unanimous decision victory brings Foreman another step closer to getting a major title fight later this year.
