    I'd have to recommend watching it again, then. I have Hank/Armstrong on video and while a very good fight, it doesn't compare to this one in terms of action.

    I watched it again and it's a good workman-like performance from both fighters (esp. Tiger) but what it lacks is any drama. Neither guy was ever really hurt in the fight and Tiger had it pretty much in control from the outset.

    Hank v Armstrong is a much better fight in terms of action IMO.

    here's a list of other great fights from the same time period in welter & middle that are much better than tiger v hank.

    Benny 'Kid' Paret v Gaspar Ortega 1
    Florentino Fernandez v Gaspar Ortega 1 & 2
    Benny 'Kid' Paret v Federico Thompson 1 & 2
    Gaspar Ortega v Charley Scott 1
    Gene Fullmer v Wilf Greaves
    Emile Griffith v Jorge Jose Fernandez
    Eduardo Lausse v Marcel Pigou
    Gaspar Ortega v Federico Thompson
    Emile Griffith v Gaspar Ortega 1 & 2
    Charley Scott v Jorge Jose Fernandez
