"The best fight of the day pitted world class middleweight Bobby 'Boogaloo' Watts, 161, of Philadelphia, against Reginald Ford, 160, of New York. Watts entertained the crowd with finesse in the first half of the fight and then turned on the power to win a unanimous 10 round decision. Watts sent Ford into a crouching position with a lightning combination to the head in the 7th round. But Ford stayed off the floor, something he was unable to do in the 8th round when Watts slammed home a left hook and a right to the head." -Associated Press
