• "This southpaw business is confusing. He was always coming at me from the wrong side. Someone said he couldn't punch. Whoever said it hasn't ever been in the ring with him, that's for sure." -Toothpick Brown

• "I'm the world's dumbest fight manager - and you can quote me. Here's my kid, 24 years old and only 30 fights under his belt. Never fought a southpaw before in his life. But what do I do - I'll tell you. I put him in there against the top-ranked lightweight in the country, figuring that if we beat him it'll be great for the kid's confidence. So, look what happens." -George Katz, manager of Toothpick Brown
