	*''Sports Illustrated'' reported: "The fact is that he [Buchanan] was never in this fight, and he dropped his title as if it were a stick of dynamite. Generously, he won two rounds and drew another. Beyond that, it was all Duran as he bared the white of his mouthpiece, not to suck in breath but out of disdain, and chased the Scot into the ropes, a part of the ring's geography that is evil country for a boxer beset by a puncher."		*''Sports Illustrated'' reported: "The fact is that he [Buchanan] was never in this fight, and he dropped his title as if it were a stick of dynamite.

			Post-fight comments

			* "No, no, I always fight clean, never with the knee. But he hit me a couple of times with his elbow." -Roberto Duran, in response to observers saying he kneed Buchanan during the final exchange.

			* "I'll tell you one thing, when we fight again, I'll have to be assured I'll have a ref who will protect me. It was ridiculous the way Duran was getting away with head butts all night." -Ken Buchanan
