ICBA Title Fight - Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne, VIC, Australia

[Champion] Larry Foley, Australia, 16-0-1 (9) vs Mustafa "Killer" Couzee, South Africa, 25-5-0 (25)

Foley looks to defend his title for the 5th time and Couzee looks to get back on track after suffering a couple of setbacks in a once-promising career. Both fighters come out shooting in the first two rounds as both land some fierce shots to the head of the other. The first two rounds are very close, I would say 1-1. An unexpected uppercut puts the champion down for the first time in this fight here in the 3rd round. Both men are hurt in the 4th, but the challenger definitely got the best of the round, 28-16. Foley doesnt look like he has recovered from the last two rounds and is continuing to take on a vast amount of punishment without a response. The referee is looking closely and finally steps in to stop the fight at the 2:40 mark of the 5th round. Foley suffers his first loss and Mustafa "Killer" Couzee wins the ICBA title.
