Description: "Rafael 'Bazooka' Limon of Mexico, trailing on all three judges' scorecards, landed 13 unanswered punches to knock out Rolando Navarrete at 3:10 of the 12th round Saturday and regain his WBC junior lightweight championship. Limon started his barrage in the waning seconds of the 12th round. A left by the southpaw from Mexico City backed Navarrete, who now lives in Honolulu, into a neutral corner. Two right-left combinations kept Navarrete penned in and from there Limon landed four rights and three lefts to the head. The last left sent Navarrete to the canvas as the bell rung and referee Joey Curtis then counted him out."
Description: On April 23, 1988, two elite 147-pound contenders met at the Palais des Sports in Berck-sur-Mer, France, to decide the vacant IBF Welterweight Championship. Representing Detroit, Tyrone "The Butterfly" Trice brought a 28–1 record with 23 knockouts, while Washington, D.C.'s Simon "Mantequilla" Brown entered at 24–1 with 18 stoppages. Broadcast live in the United States on CBS Sports, the scheduled 15-round contest was created after Lloyd Honeyghan relinquished the title. With both fighters possessing devastating power and entering their physical prime, the matchup offered each man his first career opportunity to capture a world championship belt.
