Mike Tyson TKO4 Alex Garcia
· Garcia had claimed the NABF title earlier in the month with a decision over Jerry Jones, after it had been vacated by Tony Tucker. · Tyson took Garcia apart from the bell to begin round 1 until it was mercifully stopped in round 4 after Garcia had been drilled into the canvas for the third time in the fight. |

Frank Bruno vs. Francesco Damiani
Frank Bruno KO3 Francesco Damiani
It was an impressive display of offensive destruction put on display by Frank Bruno. The beloved Englishman destroyed Italy’s Francesco Damiani and picked up the vacant European title in the process. Damiani was hardly in the fight before going down for the full count in round 3.

Heavyweight *world championship* 12-19-92
Saturday, December 19th, 1992
Wembley Stadium; London, England Lennox Lewis 25-1 (18) England WORLD CHAMPION WBC IBF WBA WBO vs. 1# Riddick Bowe 31-0 (25) New York · Lewis a 3-2 favorite. · Riddick Bowe was looking forward to the opportunity to avenge his 1988 Olympic defeat to Lennox Lewis. A crowd of over 90,000+ had filled Wembley Stadium and almost all of them were in attendance to cheer for Lennox Lewis. · The referee was Chuck Hassett of Nevada. The 3 judges were from Netherlands, Japan, and Mexico. ROUND 1: A feeling out, cautiously fought opening round by both fighters. (Lewis 16-6, Ringside Expert Rocco Del Sesto 10-9 Lewis) ROUND 2: A battle of stiff heavy jabs broke out and the left hand of Bowe had a slight edge over the left of Lewis. (Bowe 18-12, Ringside Expert Rocco Del Sesto 10-9 Bowe; 19-19 EVEN) ROUND 3: Showing a willingness to rumble, Riddick Bowe got the better of Lewis in exchanges. The crowd sang and cheered for Lewis just the same. (Bowe 19-12, Ringside Expert Rocco Del Sesto 10-9 Bowe; 29-28 Bowe) ROUND 4: Lewis opened up more with his punches and got the better of Bowe for most of the round. (Lewis 31-14, Ringside Expert Rocco Del Sesto 10-10 EVEN; 39-38 Bowe) ROUND 5: There were reports of arguments between Bowe and his manager Rock Newman in the days leading up to the fight and had many concerned that it was having an adverse affect on his training. Bowe became very aggressive in round 5, but was met with swift counter punches from Lewis in his attempts to pin the Englishman against the ropes. So far, this was easily Lewis’ best round of the fight. (Lewis 24-0, Ringside Expert Rocco Del Sesto 10-9 Lewis; 48-48 EVEN) ROUND 6: Bowe was off his stool early to start round 6 after some inspiring words from his cutman, Ralph Citro. Bowe started the round well with a well placed hook to Lewis’ side. However, by the end of the round Lewis had regained control and whipping in shots of his own to Bowe’s ribs. (Lewis 20-7, Ringside Expert Rocco Del Sesto 10-9 Lewis; 58-57 Lewis) ROUND 7: After being hit by significantly low blow, which drew a stern warning from referee Chuck Hassett, Bowe rallied to have his best round since the third. (Lewis 19-13, Ringside Expert Rocco Del Sesto 10-9 Bowe; 67-67 EVEN) ROUND 8: Bowe came out for round 8 looking tired, while Lewis still appeared fresh. Bowe was now loading up on his punches and looking to end it with one big one. He scored a big right hand and left hook early. Lewis soon replied with scoring shots of his own. The exchanges continued throughout the round and didn’t stop when the bell rang! (Lewis 24-18; Ringside Expert Rocco Del Sesto 10-9 Lewis; 77-76 Lewis) ROUND 9: Bowe and Lewis both fought a defensive battle in round 9, with a slight edge going to Lewis. (Lewis 18-10; Ringside Expert Rocco Del Sesto 10-9 Bowe; 86-86 EVEN) ROUND 10: Lewis continued to effectively work over the body of Bowe, with the New Yorker having little in response. (Lewis 24-5; Ringside Expert Rocco Del Sesto 10-9 Lewis; 96-95 Lewis) ROUND 11: Another good round for Lewis. An exhausted Bowe was reduced to throwing one big punch at a time and rarely landing. (Lewis 17-10; Ringside Expert Rocco Del Sesto 10-9 Lewis; 106-104 Lewis) ROUND 12: Little action as Bowe was now at the point of being too exhausted to throw any and Lewis was content with boxing cautiously from the outside. (Lewis 17-00; Ringside Expert Rocco Del Sesto 10-9 Lewis; 116-113 Lewis) ROUND 13: Bowe was slow to rise from his stool at the bell, but did come out and throw punches with bad intentions once he did. When Bowe did manage to land, he was met by an attack of equal or greater ferocity. (Lewis 20-6; Ringside Expert Rocco Del Sesto 10-9 Lewis; 126-122 Lewis) ROUND 14: The faces of both fighters remained unmarked at the start of round 14. Few punches landed by either. (Bowe 10-7; Ringside Expert Rocco Del Sesto 10-9 Bowe; 135-132 Lewis) ROUND 15: Lewis listened to his trainer, John Davenport’s instructions to take no chances because he had the fight won and that Bowe could only win by landing something desperate. Bowe came out showing some aggression, but not foolishly. The last punch of the fight was landed by Bowe, but it did not appear to be nearly enough of what was needed to swing the score cards in his favor. (Lewis 12-5; Ringside Expert Rocco Del Sesto 10-9 Lewis; 145-142 Lewis) DECISION: The decision was announced as ….Mexico judge 145-140, Japan judge 146-139, and Netherlands judge 149-136 all for the winner by unanimous decision and …..STILL Heavyweight World Champion LENNOX LEWIS! Lennox Lewis Wu15 Riddick Bowe POST-FIGHT: Punches landed favored Lewis 273-141. After the fight it was announced that Lennox Lewis would next defend his World Championship against Tony Tucker in May of 1993. He will grant the new 1# Mandatory Contender Mike Tyson a shot at the World Championship sometime in the summer of 1993.

THE END
: ) Well, (I think) that’s the end of this Universe. When I started it back in April my intentions had been for it to just be a “quick and dirty” Universe, where I could get my feet wet. Kind of like a practice swing. 7 months and many hours of fun later it’s done. ![]() It kind of can be divided up into 2 halves, the first being the “Team Championship” matches (took about 2 months), with the second being the tournament to unify all the titles and have one Undisputed World Champion (took about 5 months). The second part of the Universe I ended up finding much more interesting and I put a lot more time into it. I had a lot of fun doing it, although at times it became a bit addicting to the neglect of other life areas! It was cool to see that others have visited the site, with 3,965 being the current count! Although, I’m estimating 2-3,000 of those visits might be my own!! Still, it’s cool to see people checking it out and posting comments. Thanks to all who took the time to do so. I’m tempted to keep this Universe going because I’d kind of like to see what happens to it in 1993. Will Mike Tyson defeat Lennox Lewis? What kind of an impact will the recently turned pro Oscar De La Hoya have? Will the undisputed World Champions manage to keep all 4 title belts unified? Does it matter if they don’t at this point? What does 1993 have in store for some of the unexpected 1992 World Champions: Sergei Artemiev, Yun-Un Chin, Jermal Hinton, and Akinobu Hiranaka? How will the World Championship matches involving Mandatory 1# Contenders turn out? Problem is there are 5 other Universes that I’ve been really looking forward to digging into (still have to decide which one though!) Maybe, in another few years I'll pick this Universe back up. |

I've been spending time lately preparing for a universe that's takes place at an earlier period in time. Possibly it will catch up with this "World Championship" universe in 1991 and then this one will resume where it left off in 1993.Or....if the new universe ends up sucking I'll just jump back into this one. I've been having a lot of fun with the prep stuff for the new universe and am hopeful that others will find it entertaining. Another idea is if someone was interested in doing so, they could continue this universe where I left off. There really are some interesting fights to look forward to in 1993 and storylines that can be developed. I found myself having unexpected favorites, based on how they did and am curious with how they will do in 1993. For example, Sergie Artemiev whose career in real life was tragically cut short in 1993 after he fought Carl Griffith. Another fighter who caught my interest was the Korean who unexpectedly won the Flyweight World Championship. (forget his name at the moment. )Thank you for the generous compliments! |

I'm really glad you enjoyed 1992. When it really was 1992 I didn't appreciate how good so many of those fighters truly were. During this universe I gained a new appreciation for that time period. When I think of the good old days of "Tuesday Night Fights", and some of the fun fights they put on it makes me a bit sad. It felt like Sean O'Grady and Al Albert were 2 friends who came over to watch the fight over pizza and beers. ![]() It was a week night party!
