  • Referee: Charley Daggert

"Promoters had built this one up as a grudge match, from ill feeling accumulated since last August's short and sweet scramble, and it turned out to be exactly as advertised. The two went at it as if they were going to knock each other's head off. Wesley took the first three rounds on his speed and jabs. Bob slowed Mouzon down with body blows, softened him up with rights, and finally caved the roof in with a long left hook at 2:18 of the eighth." -Associated Press
