	* "I always thought Blake was a good referee until Friday night. He permitted Galento to use back alley stuff. Nova wasn't cut by any blows. His gashes came from butts from Galento's head. The doctors who took 5 stitches above Lou's right eye and 5 below it said no gloved fist could have caused such damage. We'd like to fight Galento again - in NY state, where you have to fight clean." -Ray Carlen, Nova's manager		* "I always thought Blake was a good referee until Friday night.
