"Mike Rossman squared accounts with Mike Quarry Saturday by scoring a majority decision victory in a 10 round light heavyweight fight. Rossman scored with sharper punches late in the fight after the two battled head to head most of the way at the Aladdin Hotel's Theater for the Performing Arts. The match was close all the way with Quarry pounding lefts and rights to the mid-section and drawing the same in return. More frequently, however, Rossman caught his foe with right crosses as the two broke away from the close-in action." -Associated Press
