"Ken Buchanan took only four minutes and 43 seconds to dispose of Chang Kil Lee, the Oriental junior welterweight champion from Seoul, South Korea, and further establish himself as the No. 1 contender for the title he surrendered to Panama's Roberto Duran five months ago. Buchanan, 135 1/2, was at his sharpest Monday night at MSG, pinpointing his shots like the days of old as he scored a TKO over Lee, 136, at 1:43 of the 2nd round when referee Johnny LoBianco stepped in to halt the bout." -United Press International
