"Most boxing purists shudder when they see a fighter whose best punch is a right hand lead. But Bobby 'Boogaloo' Watts of Philadelphia is a believer after the featured bout with David 'Sugar' Love of San Diego yesterday in the quarter-finals of promoter Don King's US boxing championships. Watts was knocked to the canvas twice by Love's right hand in the 3rd round of their scheduled eight rounder. Referee Arthur Mercante stopped the fight at 1:41 of the 4th round after another right found Watts' chin." -Associated Press

• "Now a fighter isn't supposed to lead with the right all the time like David does. But he's so darn fast, he can get away with it. He has the fastest right hand for a middleweight I've ever seen." -Angelo Dundee, Love's manager

• "I knew Watts knew I was coming with my right, but there was nothing he could do. I can just get away with it." -David Love
