[1] After defeating James Toney to capture the IBF super middleweight title, Roy Jones would successfully defend the title against Antoine Byrd before being matched up against former WBA light middleweight champion Vinny Pazienza.

Pazienza had won that title on October 1, 1991 but just over a month later on November 12, he was involved in a near-fatal car crash that fractured his neck and nearly cost him his boxing career.

Pazienza shrugged off his underdog status, however, stating "It makes me all the more determined to prove him wrong.

Though Pazienza was clearly shaken from the exchange, he was allowed to continue, but Jones quickly put him down again with a right hand with 25 seconds left in the round.

The referee then called the fight with two seconds left in the round, giving Jones the victory by technical knockout.
