== Comments ==
*Hagler made $1.25 million, and Roldan received $100,000.
*Roldan was the #1 WBA middleweight contender.
*In the opening seconds of the first round, Hagler went down after Roldan caught him with a glancing left hook on the back of the head. Referee Tony Perez ruled it a knockdown. "That was no knockdown in the first round," Hagler said later. "I slipped and I told the ref." It was the only official knockdown of Hagler's career. 
*Hagler hurt Roldan in the third round with a left uppercut to the right eye, then sent the challenger sprawling into the ropes for a knockdown.
*Roldan, his right eye swollen shut, was knocked down in the tenth round. After getting up at the count of seven, Roldan informed the referee that he didn't want to continue.
