CLINTON McKENZIE isn't the
luckiest fighter in the country but
his ability could be rewarded on
Tuesday when he challenges Spaniard
Antonio Guinaldo for the
EBU light-welterweight title at the
Albert Hall.

EUROPEAN and British flyweight champion
Charlie Magri keeps himself in fighting trim while
he awaits a shot at the world tide with a match
against Mexican puncher Juan Diaz.
The 10-rounder is the main event while the
European light-welterweight championship challenge
of Clinton McKenzie v. Antonio Guinaldo is
chief support. So flyweights can sell tickets in 1981
after all. This is a tribute to the little tailor's
punching power and fighting spirit.

THE fight was great and no argument, but controversy over
the scoring lingers. Was Sugar Ray Leonard really too far
behind on points to win by decision against Thomas
Hearns?
Three judges at Las Vegas, seated on raised chairs on
three different sides of the ring, had Hearns in front by four,
three and two points respectively. This meant that Hearns
had only to keep out of serious trouble in the last two rounds
and the undisputed world welterweight tide would have
been his.

ALEXIS ARGUELLO overcame a tremendous challenge from
Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini to retain his WBC lightweight
title with a crushing 14th round victory at the jam-packed
Bally's Park Place casino hotel.
Mancini, who got off to an impressive start and seemed to be
outpunching Arguello over the first five or six rounds, was slowed
down by thudding right and left hooks before a combination of blows
sent him reeling in the 14th.
