The December 18, 1975, edition of the San Mateo Times reported: "Ray Lunny III ... lost an inexplicably scored decision to speedy Tyrone Everett of South Philadelphia for the North American Boxing Federation's Jr. lightweight crown. It was inexplicable in that Tony Bosnieh ... scored the fight for young Ray, 6-4. Judge Jack Downey scored the bout 7-5 for Everett, while referee Larry Rozadilla tallied it 8-4 for the winner. The Times' card agreed with the ref. Everett is now 30-0, while Lunny slipped to a 23-2-3 record." Ray Lundy III "put up one of his finest fights to date. He jabbed, he was on his toes and he was the aggressor for the entire 12 rounds. However, he was unable to cope with Everett's speed, especially his right hook, which proved a constant source of frustration for Lunny."

"I honestly thought I won the fight. I thought that I deserved at least a draw. He ran like a thief. I got careless a couple of times and he has exceptional speed. But I was pleased with myself. It was an extreme disappointment to me, probably my biggest in boxing." - Ray Lunny III after the fight
"He said that he was going to come out and knock Ray's block off. Well, all he did was run. I agreed with Tony Bosnich. I don't see how you can win a fight running away. But losing a split decision to the number one contender is no disgrace." - Ray Lunny II, father of Ray Lunny III, after the fight
"I didn’t feel so hot about the loss at the time. It was a split decision and I thought I won. But I can look back now and say that Tyrone Everett was simply the fastest and the best fighter I ever fought. I gave it my all but he won that fight. I will say this though, I looked a helluva lot better than he did after the fight. His face was like a melon afterwards." Ray Lunny III in a 2014 interview [1]
