Many thanks for posting this. Fullmer looked a weight division above the compact Tiger,like some sawn off Chuck Wepner. After watching what Tiger landed in the 2nd rd you have to wonder what was in Robinson's left glove the night he kod Gene ? Tiger was seriously laying the wood to Fullmer without any reaction from the Mormon. I love the way Tiger comes in, soon as he's in range he commences throwing ,and he is giving little shoulder rolls as he punches,when Fullmer tries to reply, Tiger gives a two step skip back ,then returns to the attack.
Fullmer certainly displayed a granite-like chin in this bout. Any more of that kind of a beating may have been potentially dangerous to his health however, a good decision by the corner to retire Fullmer and his boxing career.
Not Tiger's most scientific performance, but definitely his most intense. In their previous fight, he had made the mistake of "waiting" too much and trying to sucker Fullmer into him, and allowed Fullmer to steal a draw. This time, he just let the punches go and didn't give a damn what Fullmer threw back at him.
Great, great fight, thank you. Will watch again before tossing up my thoughts and maybe a score-card.
Really? You thought Fullmer might've won some rounds? I'm not sure he even won a minute of that fight.
Fullmer didnt steal a draw in the second fight the judges stole it for him. All he did was run the whole fight. Tiger was pissed about the decision and it showed in this fight. He kicked the living **** out of Fullmer which I love watching because Fullmer was such a dirty ***** who got so much help from friendly officials.
I think he may have landed a jab at one point. To be honest the only real success Fullmer had in this fight was landing a couple of wild right hands as the two were trading punches, and Tiger walked right through them. He also showed some decent foot movement at one point which seemingly amused Tiger who then proceeded to give Fullmer even more of a beating.
I should have stated this in the first post, this isn't actually an upload of mine. mhagler who also goes by various other names on youtube was the one who uploaded this (and many other good fights I might add), I'm simply "advertising" it here. No one had actually viewed it before I saw it. Here's a Bennie Briscoe highlight he put together: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6UEzA1JRMA
