Alfonso 'Peppermint Frazer >
"You saw me tonight. I destroyed another top Argentinian. If Nicolino Locche was in there, he
would have suffered the same fate."

"I am a much better fighter now than I was when I beat Nicolino 6-Months ago {March 10th}.
I am fighting with much more confidence now. Before, I was still unsure of my skills."

"If Nicolino does not agree to fight me within 2-Weeks, I will move on and defend my Title against
'Kid Pambele' {Antonio Cervantes}. I can fight Nicolino in 2-Weeks {September 30th} in Panama.
I'm fine and ready to fight again quickly."

"Look, Nicolino has pulled out 'twice' already. To be honest, he's is too old and too slow to challenge
me. He can't beat me."

Nicolino Locche >
"My Physician has told me to rest my right-hand for 3-Weeks. My spear {finger} is still 'cracked', and the
only way it will get better is for rest."

"I want to fight, but in 2-Weeks I still won't be 100%."

"If 'Peppermint' Frazer does not offer me the 'courtesy-rematch', I will probably resign {retire}. I don't
feel that I have to go thru several Contenders to get a rematch for the Championship.
