Ted Thrash His Nemesis.
Ted Thrash Of Louisiana State
was the only college ringman to
beat Quattrocchi consistently. He
did it three times although at least
one decision was tainted. That
was their bout for the NCAA
135-pound title last year when
they bumped heads in the first
round and Thrash suffered a cut
eye.
"One judge voted for me, the
other for Thrash" Andy recalled.
"The referee called it even, with
plus for Ted. so he got the title
on a plus"
Quattrocchi would box Thrash
differently II he had the chance
again. The LSU TIGER could take
it-he took everything Andy had
and still kept coming. Andy
thinks he'd pace himself more
judiciously. box more carefully
and be content to win on points
instead of by knockout. But
it's hard to restrain yourself when
you see a good target and Quat-
trocchi likes to get the business
done with as quickly as possible.
You should have a plumber who
works SO fast.

Both West Point and the Naval
