Comments
- Koshimoto lost the title in his first defense when the Mexican challenger landed a flurry of punches in the seventh round, forcing Lewis to stop the bout.
- As Lewis stepped in to wave the fight off, Koshimoto fell forward into Lewis's arms, and then sank to his knees. Medical personnel quickly moved into the ring, placed Koshimoto on a stretcher and carried him out of the arena.
- Koshimoto announced his retirement from boxing soon after the fight.
