	Tiger traditionally considered a slow-starter, lost the first round to the aggressive Carter. In the 2nd, Tiger knocked Carter down with left hook, which put Carter on his back, with his head hanging out the ropes. Carter was on his feet at the count of three. As referee [[Zack Clayton]] signalled for the fight to continue, Tiger hit Carter with another barrage of punches, highlight by another left hook that floored Carter. Carter wobbled up at the count of six, and Clayton made a signal to stop the fight. However the bell had rang at the count of two, so the round was officially over.

	~~In the 3rd~~, ~~Tiger attacked Carter~~, ~~who took a pounding to the body and the head~~. Tiger ~~would catch~~ Carter ~~again~~ in the ~~4th~~, ~~flooring him~~ with a ~~right-~~left ~~combo for a nine count. Following his third trip to~~ the ~~canvas~~, ~~Carter altered~~ his ~~strategy~~ and ~~chose~~ to ~~box Tiger. Tiger still controlled~~ the ~~bout in the 6th. In the 7th~~, ~~Carter landed a solid right hand, which briefly stunned Tiger~~. ~~Tiger recovered though, and had Carter hurt and retreating by the end~~ of the ~~7th round~~.		'''From Sports Illustrated, May 31, 1965:'''
			[[file:Tiger_Vs_Carter.jpg\|thumb\|right\|250px\|Tiger stands over Carter in round four]]
			The first round was uneventful as far as the fans were concerned, but Tiger, throwing a right—his right is decidedly inadequate—and then following with a left hook at the end of the round, found his pattern. The harmless right and the seemingly sweeping left hook added up to something lethal because at the tail end of all that motion was another left hook, short and quite explosive. It was to produce one of the more forgettable evenings in Carter's career.

	~~Odds:~~ Tiger ~~12-~~to~~-5 favorite <br>~~		Tiger caught Carter early in the second round. The left hook—Tiger leaps when he throws it, a habit that led to his adoption of the pseudonym Tiger—smashed into Carter's jaw, and Rubin drooped to the floor, his head hanging outside the bottom ropes. Carter was up at the count of three and, though unsteady on his feet and obviously weakened, refused to hold and was soon at Tiger again. Tiger, his left hand sawing away at Carter's head, dropped Rubin a second time. Carter wobbled to his feet at the count of six, four counts after the bell signaling the end of the round. Referee Zack Clayton made an ambiguous motion with his right hand. To him it meant the fight would go on for at least another round, but to almost everybody else in Madison Square Garden the gesture indicated that he was stopping it. Tiger, obviously siding with the majority, smiled, did a slow pirouette in one corner of the ring and acknowledged the roar of the crowd with a wave of his hand. He was eight rounds premature.

	*Unofficial AP scorecard - 9-1 Tiger		After a wary third round Carter went down again in the fourth. Apparently convinced—Carter takes a lot of convincing—that he was being a trifle foolish, charging into Tiger's best guns, Carter decided to box. The idea was good, but the execution was not, for Carter is no boxer. He jabbed his way through the remaining rounds—much to the annoyance of the crowd of 9,785—and carefully, if not picturesquely, circled away from Tiger's left hand. Once he did catch Tiger with a straight right hand, but Tiger seemed more surprised than stunned. The fight was no challenge for the judges, who gave most of the rounds to Tiger.
