Description: In May of 1983 At Caesars Palace in May 1983, two men walked into the ring for a non-title super-featherweight contest shrouded in courtroom squabbles, promoter politics, and the uncertainty of whether it would even take place. What followed was a savage, sprawling battle that has since been etched into boxing folklore. Bobby Chacon, officially the WBC champion but unable to defend his crown due to legal wrangling with Don King, met his old rival Cornelius Boza Edwards, the Ugandan southpaw ranked the organisation’s leading contender. Three days before the fight, a Los Angeles judge attempted to halt proceedings with an injunction, only for a California appellate panel to overturn it hours later.

Description: "Frankie Crawford pulled off the upset of the evening by lasting the full 10 rounds with the 20 year old Bobby Chacon from Sylmar, Calif., who had knocked out 16 of his previous 17 opponents, but this time had to settle for a lopsided 10 round decision. If Crawford had any notions of standing and hitting with Chacon, they were quickly abandoned when Bobby's left to the belly and right to the jaw dropped Frankie late in the 1st round. Frankie got right up and onto his bicycle, peddling for the next five rounds until he suspected that Chacon might be getting tired from swinging and chasing him. In the 7th, he came at Chacon and started throwing a few punches although at that point he needed a knockout to win which didn't happen.
