Fairest of Them All. For Weight Watchers, the rewards are touchingly simple. Says Walter Jenson, 23, a Queens office clerk who went from 425 Ibs. to 191 lbs. and from size 60 pants to size 36 in one year: "I can get on my knees and pray better." Brooklyn Bookkeeper Alex Galietti, 29, finds that after losing 106 lbs., "I'm doing things I could never do as a teen-ager-skating and bike riding...
...judges' decision was unanimous and lopsided. Dressed in pajamalike native costumes, half a dozen Nigerians swarmed through the ropes to congratulate New Champion Tiger, while Manager Marv Jenson led the battered ex-champ sadly out of the ring.

Out of high school, he had a job as an apprentice welder, in the repair shop at Kennecott Copper's great open-pit mine, but he still had the energy to get up at five o'clock...
Just getting a crack at Sugar Ray was the toughest scrap of all. Jenson had to settle for 12½% of the gate, or $20.915. Robinson pocketed $78,190 of the gate receipts, plus $60,000 of the TV and radio income, of which Fullmer got none...
