Lalonde acknowledged "I knew I was going to be rusty," but added "I needed the rounds." After some early exchanges, two things were evident--Lalonde was employing a nice accurate punishing jab, and the 29 year-old Menefee, wasn't going to lay down and play dead.
In the fifth, Lalonde rocked Menefee with a good right to the head that made "Tuff" Tony stick his tongue out at Lalonde--something he did several times during the contest when he tasted some of the "Golden Boy's" leather.
Donny rocked Tony with solid rights in each of the last three rounds, and much to the delight of the fans, he dropped him for the second time in the fight, with less than ten seconds to go.

After Hamsho tried to play rough in the early going, Hagler ended things early this time by flooring Hamsho twice in the third round (the second knockdown produced by a Floyd Patterson-like hook), thus forcing Hamsho's trainer to jump in and stop the fight.
Hamsho would continue to fight, with the biggest name on his list being Donny Lalonde, who decisioned Hamsho in the spring of 1987 and would then go on to become light heavyweight champion later that year.
Hamsho's career would then peter out over the next few years.
