ALEXIS ARGUELLO vs. BILLY COSTELLO (Site) 

Description : Here we have a mega rare original onsite poster from the Lawlor Events Center Reno Nevada. After a 2 year lay off after his defeat to Aaron Pryor in the Caesars Palace rematch, Arguello started back on the comback trail. He KO'd Pat Jefferson in 5 rounds, then took on Former World Junior welterweight champion Billy Costello. Billy hit Alexis Arguello at will for three rounds with left and right jabs, body shots and counter-punching. Still, the more experienced Arguello appeared dangerous when Costello was on the ropes, scoring with some flurries and loading up with the right hand. In the fourth, with Costello on the ropes and appearing to tire, Arguello landed a picture perfect right hand that sent Costello to the canvas. Costello beat the count, but appeared to be out of gas holding the ring rope as referee Mills Lane allowed the bout to continue. Arguello then finished Costello with powerful combinations on the ropes, forcing the referee to stop the bout. It was a good stoppage, as Costello was not moving on the ropes, on unsteady legs and was not defending himself.
