- Although the vacant WBC Silver flyweight title was on the line, Kimweri weighed in at 104 1/2 and Petalcorin at 108.

- The bout was marred by terrible refereeing. Petalcorin scored four legitimate knockdowns, all of which ignored or waved off as slips by referee Malcolm Bulner. It should be noted that one of the judges was Bulner's wife who scored the bout in favor of the Deer Park, Victoria-based Kimweri.
.....11 points for picking Kimweri plus 2 points for picking him by decision.
