Note

Newscopy: HARD-PUNCHING Dick Tiger shoots a right cross over Gene Fullmer's left hook in 10th round of their 15 round title bout. The Nigerian won the fight-and the middleweight crown from Fullmer-in a donnybrook at Candlestick Park. Fullmer, a gamester until the final bell, dropped a unanimous decision.
