Fighting on the undercard of a grudge match between Hector Camacho and Vinny Pazienza, WBC and IBF Lightweight Champion Pernell Whitaker defends his titles against number one contender Freddie Pendleton. Despite having almost as many losses as wins, Pendleton puts up a good fight, hitting Whitaker more than any previous opponent and edging several rounds from the champion. Whitaker stuns Pendleton in the fifth round and brawls with him down the stretch en route to a close but clear unanimous decision win.
