In one of the most shocking upsets for years, Bronx
underdog Iran Barkley stopped Thomas Hearns in three
rounds to win the WBC middleweight title at the Hilton
Hotel's indoor arena.
Hearns, the only man ever to win world titles at four
different weights, was a 4-1 favourite to retain the title he
had won in the Hilton car park last October with a fourth
round stoppage of Juan Domingo Roldan, but one single
right hand from Barkley made a mockery of those odds.

THE Las Vegas fans had something
to cheer about when locallybased
Roger Mayweather retained
his WBC light-welterweight title
with a split 12-round decision over
official number one contender
Harold Brazier of South Bend,
Indiana.

the opponents Foreman has faced in his comeback.
In his last fight, in June of last year, Hernandez was
