Chacon, 133 3/4, San Fernando, smashed Contreras, 133 1/2, with a right in the 1st round, knocking him to the mat, but he bounced back up. The rest of the fight was even with each fighter staggering the other. There were no cuts and no more knockdowns until the 8th when Chacon, with 1:16 left to go, backed Contreras against the ropes and began pounding him." -United Press International
- Chacon was originally scheduled for a rematch at the Olympic with Modesto Concepcion on April 21st but withdrew due to a shoulder injury suffered in sparring. Contreras subbed for Chacon and knocked out Concepcion, which is how Chacon and Contreras were then matched.
