Pound For Pound: Buddy McGirt vs. Pernell Whitaker I

---

IBF Super Lightweight Champion Pernell Whitaker moves up to welterweight to attempt to claim a title in four different weight classes when he takes on WBC Champion Buddy McGirt. In a classic chess match, Whitaker pulls away from McGirt over the second half of the bout as a left shoulder injury limits the champion. A rally in the championship rounds is not enough for McGirt to overcome the deficit as Whitaker captures the title.
