The Associated Press scored it > {6-4} in Rounds for Hal Carroll

Mike Quarry >
"I kind of felt sluggish in there, and a lot of my punches had no snap. But I felt strong."

"On the low-blow. I should have kept punching until the Referee said stop. I made the
mistake of backing off."

Gil Clancy {Manager for Mike Quarry} >
"When Mike hit him low, he should have kept punching. The Referee didn't say or do
anything for 5-Seconds."

"I know it sounds like bad sportsmanship, but you're supposed to keep hitting your
opponent until the Referee says 'time' or stop."
