Fight is stopped when Camacho is not able to see out of his eye due to a cut caused by an accidental headbutt. Originally ruled as a Technical decision for Camacho.
On 7/26/01, following a protest by the Leija camp, the NY State Athletic Commission changed the result to a No Contest.
It ruled the bell to start the 6th round had not officially been rung, therefore the fight did not go the required distance in which to render a technical decision.
