In four previous meetings, Moore and King went the ten round distance, Moore winning by decision three times and the fourth time being a draw. In this, the fifth and final meeting, Moore, who saw that King, his longtime nemesis, had nothing left, battered the fading King senseless in the first round and finished matters quickly, ending the rivalry for good.
