Notes

  • Attendance: 13,000.
  • The winner of the Eric Lucas vs. Glenn Catley fight for the vacant title had been ordered by the WBC to defend against Thobela first.
  • Thobela was penalized 1 point in the 6th round for a headbutt.
  • In the eighth round, Lucas landed a hard left on Thobela's chin that momentarily stunned Thobela. Sensing victory, Lucas unleashed a flurry of punches to Thobela's head before the referee stepped in and called a halt to the fight.
  • After 7 rounds, Guy Jutras's unofficial scorecard had Lucas up 70-62. [1]
