	"Joey Archer of New York, the world's 2nd ranked middleweight contender, used hit-and-run tactics Friday night to win an unpopular 10-round decision over former champion Dick Tiger of Nigeria at MSG. Archer was impressive in the first two rounds, and - although he has scored only 8 KOs in 42 victories - threatened to belt out the Tiger. He knocked Tiger back on his heels twice in the 1st round with long left-rights to the head. In the 2nd he buckled the ex-champ's knees twice with head hooks. But after that the somewhat angry Tiger kept chasing Archer about the ring and trying to force him to exchange. Despite the slugger-boxer angle it was a comparatively dull bout thereafter. There were no knockdowns although many thought there should have been one in the 5th round when a right to the chin drove Archer to one knee near the ropes. However, referee Zack Clayton ruled it a slip. The 9,098 fans at the Garden booed Archer loudly for his persistent circling, dancing to his own left - out of the way of Tiger's hooking attack."
