  • Hard hitting southpaw challenger Wangek decked Gonzalez, pound for pound the best fighter in the world, in the first round, a strong start.
  • Referee Steve Willis declared accidental head butt by both combatants caused a cut to right eye of Gonzalez in round three. Bout continued.
  • Fourth round completed, eliminating the possibility of a technical draw. Gonzalez complained of butting at the end of round four.
