- "I don't care if I lose 10 fights in a row. I'm not retiring. I've never done anything else but fight and I've always preserved my body so I can continue fighting." -Bobby Boyd
- "I couldn't get unraveled in the early rounds. He won the first half of the fight, I won the second half." -Jimmy Beecham
- "They should have called it a draw. But that's the way it goes. We win in Miami, they win in Chicago. Next time we ought to fight in a neutral city like somewhere in China." -Angelo Dundee, Beecham's manager
"Bobby Boyd, who intends to remain fighting as long as his body holds up, got back into the winners circle Friday night by defeating Jimmy Beecham of Miami. Boyd, of Chicago, won a unanimous 10-round decision over Beecham who had beaten Boyd in a previous meeting in Miami. Boyd scored well in the early rounds against Beecham who thought the fight should have been a draw." -Associated Press
