		"Ralph Hollett, the former Canadian middleweight champion, got back some of his dented pride Thursday night when he won a clear 10-round decision over David Love. Hollett, who was lucky to salvage a draw the last time the two met, fought 10 hard rounds to defeat Love. After a cautious first round, Hollett, who has never mastered the jab, fell prey to Love's effective left but fought back every time Love beat him to the punch. Hollett was in top shape and shrugged off Love's hardest shots. He worked the body through the early rounds and managed to loop some hard outside rights to the head. There were no knockdowns and neither fighter was in serious trouble." -Canadian Press

		*Hollett was the former Canadian champion because he was stripped of his title in his last fight when he failed to make weight in his defense against Wayne Caplette.

		Scorecards

		*53-47 Hollett
		*46-44 Hollett
		*46-46 Even

		Post-fight comments

		* "I don't know what the key-factor was, but God bless David Love. We'll do it some other time." -Angelo Dundee, Love's manager

		* "David Love can't beat ralph Hollett and Angelo Dundee can't outsmart me." -Tom McCluskey, Hollett's trainer

	"Canadian champion Ralph Hollett and David Love of San Diego, Calif., battled to a hard-fought 10-round draw in a middleweight bout at the Metro Centre Tuesday. Hollett, who was nursing cuts to his mouth and above and below his left eye, said it was a close fight. Neither fighter had a good chance to take control until the 6th when Hollett caught Love with a hard left hook that sent the American to the canvas for an eight-count. And as the app. 5,300 fans in attendance yelled 'Turn on the Hollett Heat' in reference to Hollett's ring nickname, the Halifax native tried but was unable to put Love away. In the 7th, Love caught Hollett with a hard right that sent Ralph to the canvas and which also cut his mouth. But after the eight-count Love was unable to finish the Canadian champion. Love opened up a cut above Hollett's left eye in the 8th and in the 9th caught him against the ropes but again was unable to finish him. Both fighters were tired and sluggish in the 10th and neither was able to mount an offensive." -Canadian Press

	* "This is Ralph Hollett's town, so what do you expect? About the 3rd round I knew what I had to do to win. I wanted to make him work to tire him out." -David Love

	* "He caught me with a couple of good punches but I'm strong and came back with a couple of my own." -Ralph Hollett
