			* "They say you learn something every fight, and I had never been in with a talker. I just didn't listen to him. My right hand was the key to the fight. Those body shots count just as much as the head punches he threw. I would like to fight him again, but only for the title." -Oscar Muniz

			* "They out and out robbed me. I beat him all over the ring, but he ran like a thief - like he was taking something." -Jeff Chandler

Jeff Chandler, the [[World Boxing Association]] bantamweight champion, suffered the first defeat of his career, losing to unranked Oscar Muniz on a split decision in a 10-round non-title, super-bantamweight bout at the Sands Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Chandler (31-1-2), of Philadelphia, led with his left jab and allowed Muniz (35-3-3) of Pico Rivero, Calif., to land hard right shots to the body and head from close range.

Muniz, bleeding from two cuts around the left eye for eight rounds, won 5-4-1 on the scorecards of Judges Tom Kaczmarek and Phil Newman. Judge Frank Brunette scored it 5-4-1 for Chandler. Each fighter weighed 121 3/4 pounds.

Chandler, who is not ranked as a super bantamweight, said he will continue to pursue the 122-pound title because he has trouble making the 118-pound bantamweight limit. Chandler took the fight on one-week's notice and was paid $100,000.
