| Michael Spinks 19-0-0 (16) © | vs | Larry Donald 24-1-0 (16) NABF Title | |
| After being mauled in the 1st, Spinks took Donald to task over the next 3 rounds, tattoing him at will. With things well in hand, a hard right dropped Spinks in the 5th and the after a sluggish 6th, both men went at it with a purpose through the 12th, with things too close to call. The final 3 cantos went to Spinks however as Donald faded and he capped it with a knockdown in the 15th, retaining his belt 144-140 | |

| Sam McVey 24-2-0 (23) | vs | Oscar Bonavena 24-2-0 (21) | |
| A wildly anticipated brawl between the fearsome looking McVey and the rugged Bonevena never materialized as McVey shook Bonevena with a vicious right 40 seconds into the fight and the Argentinian never recovered. Though he was never off his feet, Bonavena absorbed a horrific beating, culminating in a one-sided 4th that saw the bout stopped at 2:30, with Bonavena defenseless in his own corner. | |

| June Feature Fights | | | | | |
| Len Harvey 18-2-2 (10) © | vs | Zeljko Mavrovic 31-1-2 (25) - EBU Title | |
| Embrell Davidson 25-0-0 (24) | vs | Bearcat Wright 18-2-1 (13) | |
The McVey beatdown was both shocking and brutal, as he out landed Bonavena 158 - 38 over 3+ rounds, and will surely make others take notice of the powerful McVey.
June's feature fights will determine if Davidson and Mavrovic are as spectacular as their glossy records indicate.
