The action really increased with this run of 6 fights. There hadn't been any real candidates for Fight of the Week until these fights were ran. There were a lot of great fights here.

Vazquez vs Kid Williams
Caballero vs Canizales
McGovern vs Coulon
Marquez vs Jimmy Carruthers
and Zarate vs Harada were all great fights.

A bit of controversy in the Coulon vs McGovern bout as Coulon was very near pulling off the upset when the Ringside Doctor made a controversial call to end the bout on a cut in the final round.
