Light Title Shot Eliminator Round
Sunday, May 31st, 1992
Four Seasons Arena; Great Falls, MT
Todd Foster 22-1 (19) Montana
vs.
Rafael Ruelas 31-4-1 (25) California
- Todd Foster was a slight 3-2 favorite.
- Foster blitzed Ruelas in round 1, almost putting him down for the full count. To the pro-Foster crowd’s disappointment Ruelas staggered to his feet at 9 just before the bell rang. Foster surprisingly took his foot of the gas in round 2 and allowed Ruelas back into the fight.
- Foster reapplied himself in round 4 and after 2 knockdowns of Ruelas the referee mercifully stopped the fight.
- Next up for the 1988 USA Olympian, after his most impressive performance so far in his career as a professional, is a challenge of Italy’s Giovanni Parisi for the WBO belt.
