Foster, one of the best of the tall lanky guys who fought out of a conventional stance but dynamite punch was the left hook. Very hard to do, when you think about it (challenging for your Cooneys and Ruddocks… who else?).

Foster could do it all and could really punch! If Patterson could have won the title in the modern era, that would have been some matchup(Foster wanting the title)! Who'd KO the other?! And, he and Hearns and Monzon were all similar and these would be great fights to see who was the best among them!

Unfortunately there was no super middleweight division for Tiger at this point Later Foster suffered because there was no cruiserweight division.

RIP, Dick Tiger, at least, you were introduced in the United of America as Dick Tiger of Biafra, That Biafra's recognition was only what we wanted from Americans that night. We don't care about win or lose. Thank you, Major Dick Tiger of Biafra. May your Soul rest in peace.

Two all-time greats. Foster was one of the greatest of all light-heavy champs. Tiger was competitive in this fight right up to the end. He beat a very good Jose Torres to win the title and had also been middleweight champ before. This at a time when there was just one recognised titleholder at each weight. To win it, you really had to be the best.

Slightly, but not really. Tiger didn't land a solid punch until the KO. Foster was hiding behind his jab and trying to catch Tiger coming in, which is what he did. Tiger was too short and his style was tailor made for Foster. He reached and it was over.

I agree. We had a light Heavy from around here in Anaconda, Montana "Roger Rouse" that fought him. Roger was robbed in Vegas due to a cut over his mouth in the last seconds when He was ahead of Dick Tiger. Jim Roger's brother was at ringside and swore the referee stopped the fight when Tiger caught Roger. The "Raz" jumped up just a few seconds after Tiger dropped Roger with a "hail mary" in the last few seconds of the 15th round for the championship, in the late '60s. Roger went back to work at the cooper smelter (that's boxing)
