Tight Play, or Good Laydown?

We come upon a hand at the flop. The board showed {9-?} {4-?} {7-?}. A player on the button pushed all in for around 19,000. An early-position player folded and showed {4-?} {4-?} face up.

His opponent said, "Good laydown. OK, I'll show you this time." He then proceeded to turn over {7-?} {7-?}.

Whether it was a tight fold or a good read we will never know. In either event, the player with the set of fours dodged a bullet early.
