	*The Associated Press reported: "Referee Ferd Hernandez stopped the nationally televised fight at 1:40 of the fifth round after a smashing right to the head buckled LoveLl's legs and caused him to turn his back on Norton. Lovell held his own in the first three rounds, scoring well with a left jab and sending home an occasional hard right. Then Norton, pushing his career record to 35-3, almost took Lovell out in the fourth round. He staggered his opponent with a left uppercut to the chin in a neutral corner, and then pushed Lovell to the center of the ring, continuing to land shots to the head. As the bell sounded to end the round, Lovell walked slowly back to his corner. In the fifth round, Lovell's speed seemed gone as Norton quickly resumed his relentless attack."		*The Associated Press reported: "Referee Ferd Hernandez stopped the nationally televised fight at 1:40 of the fifth round after a smashing right to the head buckled LoveLl's legs and caused him to turn his back on Norton.
