vs.

Carlos Elliott {United States}
19-2-0 {18 KO's} ~ {Age; 26 years, 7 months} ~ 5' 9 1/2" ~ 154 lbs.

A rematch of their earlier controversial bout in Indonesia on July 2, 1988.

This time, Carlos paced himself much better, and did not over-punch with
wild left-hooks.

Francisco Lisboa fought with his typical jab-and-move style, with late Round
counter-punching attacks.

By Round 6, Carlos had a slight lead {3-2-1} in the bout, but was controlling
the tempo with a more aggressive-style than the defensive-minded Champion.

The Champion {like in their 1st bout} became more aggressive in the second-half
of the bout, and Francisco fought faster in Rounds 7 and 8 - by leading rather than
countering. After 8-Rounds, the Champion had a 1-Point lead.

But Francisco started to fade in Round 9 after getting tagged by several solid-punches
over the last 40-Seconds.

Sensing that he had the Indonesian in trouble, Carlos pounded away in Round 10,
and had Francisco in deep-trouble at the end of the Round when he caught him with
a tremendous left-hook to the head.

In Round 11, Carlos was 'relentless' with his attack, and slammed away with left-hooks
and overhand rights. Francisco was getting battered, and did everything he could to
stay away from the Challenger.

Then Carlos caught Francisco with a booming left hook to the jaw and dropped him
at the {1:44 Mark}. Francisco got to his feet at the '6-Count' and wanted to continue.

The action resumed at the {1:55 Mark}.

Moments later Carlos attacked with a barrage, and then slammed in '2' left-hooks
to the head, and Francisco went down again at the {2:06 Mark}.

The Referee counted out Francisco Lisboa at {2:16} of Round 11.
