    I felt sorry for Reid. I was watching the fight at home, and saw him taking the shots to the body early. He wasn't really even trying to block them. I said to myself he would regret that. Later when he knocked Tito down, I yelled at the TV "Finish Him", but he didn't go all out at all. Later in the fight after Tito took over and kept knocking David down, I yelled "Stop the fight, ref!" and "Stay down!" Reid took one of the worst beating I've ever seen. You could see it on his face, but the ref and Reid's corner wouldn't stop the fight. Even Tito went easy on him and let him survive till the final bell. I felt so bad for Reid.

    Alfonso Zamora......loser of the "Z-boys" fight with Carlos Zarate.

    Zamora's popularity was not diminished after losing to Zarate, but his self-esteem was. Zamora lost his WBA world Bantamweight title in his very next fight, being knocked out in ten rounds by Panamanian Jorge Lujan on November 19 in Los Angeles. He only won four of his last eight bouts, retiring before the 1970s were over. A proposed "super-fight" (a "super-fight" in boxing is usually defined as a fight where two superstars are battling each other) against Wilfredo Gómez was mentioned early in 1983, but Zamora did not accept, as he had permanently retired from boxing.
