== Comment(s): ==
- All ringside HBO television commentators, including [[Lennox Lewis]], felt that Referee Nady's continual cautions to Maskaev not to hold were unwarranted and one-sided. 
- Rahman was knocked down early in the final round, stumbled to the mat a minute later, and was holding on to the rope to stay on his feet. Maskaev landed a flurry of blows with Rahman unable to defend himself. The referee stopped the bout to save Rahman from further punishment. 
- Originally broadcast as an HBO-TV Pay-Per-View special. Official PPV sales were 60,000, with an estimated 100,000 needed to break even. 
- Arum was predicting sales of 250,000, and thus lost an estimated one million dollars on this program.

The 18 year-old Jiles clearly outclassed the 34 year-old Vestry. This bout was hastily scheduled as part of an undercard for ESPN's Friday Night Fights, with Vestry reportedly taking the fight on three days notice after a three and a half year layoff.
