Ford landed a right hand towards the start of the second, and after they twice exchanged punches a right to the body. Another counter-right from Foster, followed by a left-right and a left-right-left and Foster dancing around him then followed in the third. Ford, 27, in turn succeeded with a left-right when Foster was threatening to build momentum; the champion appeared at risk towards the ropes but again danced away from danger, aware of the danger Ford could pose.
