Both fighters were guaranteed $1.85 million.

Hearns was a 2 to 1 favorite.
There was a crowd of 14,824 at Caesars Palace.
Hearns dropped Duran twice in the first round. At the end of the round, a confused Duran went to a neutral corner and one of his handlers had to go get him. After nailing Duran with a devastating right to the jaw in the second round, Hearns stepped back and Duran fell face first to the canvas. The fight was over.
