"Bobby Chacon of San Fernando and Rafael 'Bazooka' Limon of Mexico City fought to a tech. draw Monday night when their scheduled 12 round NABF junior lightweight championship bout was stopped in the 7th round. The bout at the L.A. Sports Arena was halted after the pair bumped heads unintentionally. A bad cut over the right eye of Limon was examined by Dr. Bernhart Schwartz, who recommended to referee Lou Fillipo that the fight be stopped. Chacon had a substantial lead on the cards when the bout ended. There were no knockdowns. The first three rounds were fought at a fast pace with Chacon slightly ahead. In the 4th, Chacon started battering his opponent with combinations and in the 5th, Limon started bleeding from over the right eye. In the 6th, Limon was warned for thumbing Chacon in the eye. And the 7th round started quickly with Chacon getting the better of it." -Associated Press
