Quotes

  • "Styles make fights. I was the aggressor. I used my jab," Michael Moorer said.
  • "I'm finished. I watched Cus D'Amato [Atlas's late mentor] at the end. I saw him give in and allow himself to be treated badly just to be with a fighter. I saw that and I vowed it would never happen to me. I have no guilt. I did my job [Saturday] night," Teddy Atlas said.
  • Bean's promoter, Butch Lewis, complained that the judges had been influenced by negative media coverage leading up to the bout and said he might press the IBF to mandate a rematch.
