			"The long reign of Gene Fullmer as king of the WBA middleweight division was over today, terminated by a mauler and brawler much in the same mold as the Utah strong boy. The new ruler is Dick Tiger of Nigeria, the British Empire champion of the 160 pounders, who won the title by unanimous decision Tuesday night in 15 rough, bruising rounds in Candlestick Park. There was blood, as is usual with a Fullmer fight, but no knockdowns. Fullmer fought the last 4 1/2 rounds in a familiar Fullmer pattern. He was cut and bleeding from gashes over both eyes, but he was still flailing away with both fists at the final bell." -Associated Press
