    The light-heavyweight division doesn't get talked about enough on here. I love this performance by Foster. One of the earlier examples in the modern era of a orthodox right handed fighter fighting a left handed fighter.

    Foster decided to primarily rely on the southpaw killer - the straight right hand. He did throw some of his signature left hooks but also decided that he needed to throw as many straight rights as possible. The right hand that stopped Finnegan late in the video is about as good a right as i have ever seen.

    Even so, you can see how tough Finnegan was and Finnegan deserves to be commended for his efforts. This fight also highlights the general difficulties that right handers have vs lefties.
