Mac Foster >

"I was supposed to fight Joe back in mid-1970, but he pulled out because he
broke his ankle doing his Musical Revue in Las Vegas."

"This is my last opportunity, and I don't want to waste it. I lost a couple of
fights that I should have won. This could be a good fight, because we both
have the same styles."
