"The Ellis Park Tennis Stadium was filled to capacity with a crowd of 10,000, as Pierre Fourie outboxed Fraser Scott from the U.S., over 10 rounds. Scott may have won the 8th round, but it was Fourie all the way. Fourie stalked his man but Scott kept out of range and was reluctant to attack. Fourie's speed enabled him to land blows from all angles. Fourie won a clear decision." -Ring Magazine, November 1971 issue
Post fight comment
- "The time is right for a crack at the world title. I can't build Pierre up anymore. We have worked for six years preparing for this and nothing can be gained by putting it off. Pierre is prepared to fight Monzon or Griffith anytime." -Alan Toweel, Fourie's trainer
