SUGAR RAY LEONARD captured the WBA lightmiddleweight
title and set up the richest fight in histoi-y
when he hammered Danish-domiciled Ayub Kalule of
Uganda in the ninth at the Astrodome.
Leonard will now meet WBA champion Thomas Hearns in a
financial blockbuster for the undisputed world welterweight title on
September 16, probably at Las Vegas. Purses haven't been officially
announced but the fight is on. Leonard's lawyer, Mike Trainer, said
the fight would be "huge dollars", with world-wide TV and closed
circuit coverage.

THREE big middlewight fights in eight days saw Marvin
Hagler prove himself to be the true king of the division,
Mustafa Hamsho qualify for a crack at the crown and
Philadelphia's Frank "The Animal" Fletcher emerge as a
genuine threat to the best.
All three are southpaws and a fourth left-hander, Britain's
Alan Minter, is still in the picture at 29 because his loss to
Hamsho (televised live in Britain via ITV) was disputed. So
hang in there, Alan, all is not lost.

RAMPAGING Aaron Pryor retained his WBA lightwelterweight
title and scored his 28th win in a row, 26
inside distance, by crushing Lennox Blackmoore of
Guyana after 58 seconds of the second at the Hacienda
Hotel.
Pryor, 25, came storming out of his corner at the bell for
the first and punched away with both hands in a whirlwind
assault that simply swamped the taller, 30-year-old
Blackmoore.
