In a bout which can be seen on YouTube, Foster chased clever 35-0 counter puncher Quarry for three rounds, who counter-jabbed and moved left and right and tied Foster up wherever possible. By the fourth round, though, the fast pace had Quarry with his mouth open and visibly tired. This left him up for Foster's left, which began to land more frequently. Foster landed a right cross followed by a left hook which dropped Quarry just before the bell sounded ending the fourth round at 3:00. Quarry was down on his back and out-and got counted out. Tense moment for Foster, who had great concern for the life of his unconscious opponent after this bout ended.

The valiant Foster picks himself up off the canvas twice more in the seventh before Ali puts him down for good when Referee Mills Lane counts him out in round eight.
