{{main|George Foreman vs. Jimmy Young}}
Foreman had a life-changing year in 1977. After knocking out Pedro Agosto in four rounds at [[Pensacola, Florida]], Foreman flew to [[Puerto Rico]] a day before his next fight without giving himself time to acclimatize. His opponent was the skilled boxer [[Jimmy Young (boxer)|Jimmy Young]], who had beaten Ron Lyle and lost a very controversial decision to Muhammad Ali the previous year. Foreman fought cautiously early on, allowing Young to settle into the fight. Young constantly complained about Foreman pushing him, for which Foreman eventually had a point deducted by the referee, although Young was never warned for his persistent holding. Foreman badly hurt Young in round seven, but was unable to land a finishing blow. Foreman tired during the second half of the fight and suffered a knockdown in round twelve before losing by unanimous decision. Referee Waldemar Schmidt had it 118–111, judge Cesar Ramos scored it 116–112, and judge Ismael Wiso Fernandez scored it 115–114, all to Young.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-news/jimmy-young-george-foreman/71978 |title=40 Years Ago Today: Jimmy Young-George Foreman – "He Beat the Devil Out of Me!" — Boxing News |date=March 17, 2017 |access-date=November 25, 2021 |archive-date=November 25, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211125074421/https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-news/jimmy-young-george-foreman/71978 |url-status=live }}</ref>
