* "I did the best I could. I know I was in good shape but the guy was too awkward for me and I just couldn't get started. Everytime I'd move in on him, he'd hit me in the forehead with his left. Besides, I hurt my right hand. I make no excuses. I lost." -Johnny Brooks, at his hearing.</div>Flatnose
