    "Nicolino Loche employed his typical defensive strategy in gaining a unanimous decision over Adolph Pruitt. Skillfully seeking the ropes and corners, Loche fended off solid rights and lefts from the aggressive Pruitt, who clearly sought a knockout." -Associated Press

    "Beginning right now, I'm thinking about Jose Napoles." -Nicolino Loche
    "I thought I won the fight. If it had been in the U.S. I would have won 14 rounds." -Adolph Pruitt
    "Loche's a good defensive fighter, but if Adolph hadn't carried the fight to him there wouldn't have been any fight. If this had happened in the U.S. they would have booed him out of the ring." -Dave Manookian, Pruitt's manager
