The bout was held at the Grand Olympic Auditorium, Los Angeles, on 19 September 1980. The arena had a capacity of 10,000 but estimates have put the crowd at well beyond that. The crowd was predominantly Mexican, with Pintor receiving fervent support. While some Welsh fans had travelled to support Owen they were said to be "outnumbered 100 to 1 at least". Owen was considered the underdog with odds on his victory being offered at 6–1 before the fight, but he surprised many in the opening round by actively pursuing Pintor around the ring, seeking to engage with the champion. His pressure was rewarded in the third and fourth rounds, both of which he won on most observers' scorecards, although Pintor responded with some strong right hands. Pintor began to realise that Owen was a considerable threat, perhaps more than he had anticipated, and responded in the fourth by landing a strong shot to Owen, although the Welshman quickly shook it off. In the fifth round, Owen suffered a large cut to the inside of his bottom lip that began to bleed profusely, leaving him swallowing blood for the remainder of the fight. The ringside doctor and the referee inspected the cut but deemed Owen was fit to continue.
Catchweights allow for an agreement to be made between both boxers to fight at a non-official division limit. This can happen when one fighter is reluctant to move too low in weight to a certain division and another can’t get to a heavier weight, therefore meeting in the middle.
One of the longest-standing boxing weight classes in history is lightweight. With a different weight limit, it was initially brought about in 1738 by Broughton’s Rules and the current 135 pounds limit was made official later in 1909.
Left-handed or southpaw fighters use a mirror image of the orthodox stance, which can create problems for orthodox fighters unaccustomed to receiving jabs, hooks, or crosses from the opposite side. The southpaw stance, conversely, is vulnerable to a straight right hand.

Most boxers refer to "drowning an opponent" as taking an opponent into the later rounds (the "deep water") and beating him with endurance and experience. But I’m actually talking about something else…
But it is not what it once was. Today, few people can name the heavyweight champion. Fights have retreated to pay-per-view. And the ones that generate the most hype usually involve aging titans necromanced out of retirement or B-list celebrities clamoring for attention—sometimes both. These are not so much fights as circus acts.
"When you look at Josh Taylor's body of work, you have to include him in the pound-for-pound conversation," Baby said. "It is not just the fact that he's now the undisputed champion at junior welterweight, but the way he got there. He beat everybody that was in his path, won titles and then convincingly beat Jose Ramirez.
In 2007, The Ring was acquired by the owners of fight promoter Golden Boy Promotions, which has publicized The Ring's world championships when they are at stake in fights it promotes (such as Joe Calzaghe vs. Roy Jones Jr. in 2008). Since 2012, to reduce the number of vacant titles, The Ring allows fights between a number one or two boxers are in a boxing match riddle contender; or alternatively a number three, four, or five contender to fill a vacant title. This has prompted further doubts about its credibility. Some boxing journalists have been extremely critical of the new championship policy and state that if this new policy is followed, the Ring title may lose the credibility it once held.
In the past, many Boxers had their ears cropped, but this trend has grown less popular in recent years and you will often see Boxers with floppy ears. The American Veterinary Medical Association (AMVA) opposes the procedure, as it’s done for cosmetic reasons and doesn’t have any proven health benefits.
He had purchased a transport café in Leamington prior to being made bankrupt which was in his wife's name. The building was under threat of compulsory purchase by the council when he bought it. However, he still went ahead, despite people telling him not to do so. For the first year, the cafe was partly managed by Arthur Adams who had previously worked for six years as a barman at Turpin and Salts' Great Orme's Summit Hotel complex until he returned to Llandudno. Randolph put up a plaque behind the counter which said "That which seldom comes back to him who waits is the money he lends to his friends." He worked at a scrapyard owned by his manager and then started to make a living as a wrestler.
