Knock Out Ko Pins and Buttons
Main Tag:
Description: Julio César Chávez had an undefeated record of 68–0 with 55 wins by knockout and had won world championships in three weight classes: super featherweight, lightweight and, the previous year against Roger Mayweather, the WBC light welterweight title. Meldrick Taylor had won, at only 17 years, a gold medal at the 1984 Summer Olympics. He also had an undefeated professional record and had won the IBF light welterweight title in 1988 from Buddy McGirt. This fight was the third title defense for both boxers and a unification fight of the WBC and IBF title. The fight took place only one month after Mike Tyson's upset loss to James "Buster" Douglas.
