    Bob gets befuddled in this one. He liked to have opponents at the end of his punches. Once you offered him movement, it was difficult for him to let those explosive punches go. He stalked inferior opponents with success but he would have to worry about Tunney coming back with his own, faster punches while trying to walk him down.

    Foster would get beaten soundly in this match-up, but his jab would bust Tunney up.

    Tunney gets the longest count of his career.

    Bob finds him on the end of a long left hook and it's lights out.
