Hearns won the first four rounds on all three scorecards, then Weston rallied to win the next two. However, Weston's left eye was badly swollen and he was having trouble seeing out of his right eye, which he said was thumbed in the fourth round. The fight was stopped after the sixth. Weston was diagnosed with a detached retina in his right eye and never fought again.
