e history in the sport. Many sports historians consider Chacon-Limón to be among boxing's fiercest rivalries, alongside Ali-Frazier, Ali-Norton, Barrera-Morales, Vázquez-Márquez, Gatti-Ward, Louis-Schmeling, Durán-De Jesus, Leonard-Durán and Leonard-Hearns, to name a few. #BobyChacon #BazookaLimon #MosleyBoxing Chacon-Limón IV. The last fight in the Chacon-Limón rivalry was perhaps the most compelling one. Limón had already become WBC world Jr. Lightweight champion twice. He defeated Idelfonso Bethelmy of Venezuela by knockout in fifteen on December 11, 1980, to claim the title vacated by Arguello. After losing the title to Cornelius Boza Edwards by a fifteen-round decision on March 8, 1981, he recovered the title by knocking out Edwards' conqueror, Rolando Navarrete, in twelve rounds on May 29, 1982. Chacon, meanwhile, had insisted on boxing, dreaming that he would someday become world champion again. His decision to go on with boxing had reportedly caused his first wife, Valerie Chacon, to commit suicide months before Chacon-Limón IV. Valorie Chacon's suicide provided Bobby Chacon with a perhaps unlikely source of inspiration; he dedicated the fight to his late wife. Chacon-Limón IV was the only bout between the two fighters where a world title was involved. The fight was held on December 11, 1982, at the Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento, California. The Ring heralded this fight as their "fight of the year". Keith Jackson was commentating at ringside and the fight was televised live on ABC's Wide World of Sports. Limón began the fight quick, combining bolo punches and uppercuts to the body to dominate the first few rounds. With 20 seconds remaining in the third round, Limón scored a knockdown via a stiff straight left counter which caught Chacon, who was knocked off balance and touched both gloves to the canvas. Chacon received an eight-count but got up quickly and seemed to be not badly hurt. After this round, however, Chacon began a comeback. Trading punches toe to toe with the champion, Chacon also started to dig to his foe's body and the pace began to tell on Limón. Limón, however, kept fighting at a furious pace, and, in round ten, he sent Chacon to the floor for a second time. Chacon, however, got up again. Chacon then proceeded to mount a rally during the last five rounds. His body punches had made an effect on Limón, who began to backpedal for the rest of the fight. While Limón kept throwing from every angle he could, Chacon spent the latter rounds on top of him, outmaneuvering Limón as the two fighters engaged in furious trading. By the end of round fourteen, the fight was seemingly headed to be another draw (tie). The key moment in the fight came with ten seconds to go in the last round, when Chacon struck suddenly, connecting with a right to Limón's chin and sending Limón to the floor. While Limón got up, a mandatory standing count was carried by the referee, and by the time the fight was allowed to go on, there were only two seconds left in the bout. As it turns out, the knockdown made Chacon a world champion for the second time, just as he had promised his wife and family he would be, when judges Angel L. Guzman and Tamotsu Tomihara gave him the fight by a single point, 142-141 and 141-140 respectively (in boxing, a knockdown usually gives a fighter two extra points in a judge's scorecard, without the knockdown, Chacon would not have won). The third judge, Carlos Padilla, scored the bout 143-141, also for Chacon.
