- "Those guys try to psych you out with their talk. But after they put the mouthpiece in they can't say anything, they've got to fight." -Ron Lyle
"Buster Mathis did a lot of talking before Friday night. But then it was heavyweight Ron Lyle's turn to prove a point. Lyle used a left-right-left combination to knock out Mathis at 2:59 of the 2nd round of their scheduled 10 round fight Friday. Lyle, in typical fashion, didn't attempt to hit Mathis in the 1st round. His 2nd round action was slowed when Mathis apparently tried to tire Lyle by tying him up eight times." -United Press International
