Comments

• Arguello suffered a cut over his left eye in round six.
• The infamous "black bottle" fight, in which, Pryor's trainer, Panama Lewis, was recorded after the 13th round asking for a bottle of liquid, "the one I mixed", to be given to Pryor before the 14th round. Adding to the controversy, the Miami Boxing Commission failed to administer a post-fight urine test.
• Ranked #8 in The 100 Greatest Title Fights of All-Time by Ring Magazine in 1996.
