World boxing history challenge week 17 - Dick Tiger

[davie]

Probably the greatest name in the history of boxing
I was hoping to find some footage of his glory days as an adopted scouser, but there is a general shortage of good footage of Tiger, so I'll just show what I have

Here's one of the Jose Torres fights, think it's the first fight as Tiger is announced as challenger
The comments below the video describe it as a robbery, although the scoring appears to be a clear UD. I'd be interested to see the re-match that had a close split decision
