Stanley Longstreet stopped Yuri Filippov in the second round of their 132-pound bout, but only two other Americans were victorious on a nine-bout amateur boxing card against a strong Soviet Union squad in the Armenian capital of Yerevan.

In the 147-pound class, Arthur Martinez outpointed Alexander Ostrovsky, while in the 165-pound class, Darin Allen won on points over Veniamin Egoyan.

This was the third round of the series between the two nations. They split eight bouts in Leningrad, but the Soviet Union won all 12 bouts contested in Moscow.
