POPULAR heavyweight FUN SO BANJO
had little trouble scoring his third straight
pro win, taking only two rounds to
knockout podgy DAVE FRY in the chief
support at Walthamstow.

BARRY McGUIGAN tidied up his pro record with a hardearned,
inside distance revenge over Peter Eubanks at a
packed Ulster Hall.
Clones featherweight McGuigan ended it in the eighth
and final round, referee Bob McMillan calling a halt at two
minutes 40 seconds.
Eubanks, from Brighton, protested but had nothing to
offer in the closing seconds and was taking heavy
punishment without reply.

THE final chapter of Muhammad Ali's long career was written under a full
moon in the outdoor Queen Elizabeth Sports Centre as the former three time
heavyweight champion lost a unanimous 10 rounds decision to the muscled,
awkward Trevor Berbick, Canadian and Commonwealth champion.
"This is the end," Ali said afterwards in a tired voice that was barely
audible "I really thought I could win, but you can't beat Father Time."

A NEW and memorable chapter in British boxing's history of heroic world
title failures was written in the spacious setting of Houston Astrodome on
Saturday.
Pat Cowdell, fragile-framed British featherweight champion, stands
proudly as the latest hero, following his couragous challenge to WBC super
champ Salvador Sanchez.
Pat, the 6-1 against no-hoper, made a mockery of the betting odds, producing
a display surpassing anything he'd shown before in forcing the Mexican
to a split decision victory.
The big-hearted Black Country favourite fought through a mist of blood,
his elegant boxing never wavering.
Pat's steely determination earned the ultimate accolade from 22-years-old
Sanchez: "The man's a credit to boxing, and a credit to himself."
Only in the last seconds of the 15 th did Sanchez look close to stopping an
unheralded opponent, a thunderous, chopping right sending Pat crashing to
the canvas.
