"Bobby Chacon racked up his 14th knockout and 15th consecutive victory when he halted former California featherweight champion Ray Echavarria at the 2:06 mark of the 1st round. Chacon zeroed in with an overhand right before the fight was one minute old, flooring the veteran Echavarria for an 8-count. Before referee Chuck Hassett mercifully called a halt, the hitherto unfloored Echavarria had made two more trips to the canvas." -INTERNATIONAL BOXING, March 1973 issue
- Chacon was already signed for the featherweight showdown with Tury Pineda before this bout.
