  • Referee: Mickey Vann

"Britan's Herold Graham stopped middleweight Lindell Holmes of Detroit in the fifth round of their scheduled 10-rounder with the referee halted the fight because of a cut over the American's left eye. The controversial ending angered Holmes' manager, Billy Gutz, who said a head-butt caused the cut. Both fighters were looking to a future crack at Marvin Hagler's world middleweight crown." - The Modesto Bee, 07/23/84
