Notes
- The fight was billed as "Put Up or Shut Up."
- Camacho landed 133 of 442 (30%), and Pazienza connected on 118 of 451 (26%).
- The Associated Press reported: "At one point in the twelfth round, the blood-covered Pazienza threw a wild flurry of punches, backed away from Camacho, pounded his own face with his gloves and screamed like Tarzan. But Camacho was content to pick off most of Pazienza's blows, then land quick counters, right jabs from his left-handed stance and straight lefts. He bloodied Pazienza's right eye in the third, although the challenger claimed it was a butt. Camacho also opened a blood-spurting gash around Pazienza's left eye in the ninth."
- The New York Times reported: "When Pazienza resorted to the rough stuff, Camacho coolly awaited the intervention of Referee Tony Perez, who repeatedly warned the challenger for his tactics and eventually penalized him a point for butting."
