Augie Sanchez leaves former champ
Luisito Espinosa a helpless figure on
the ropes last weekend, winning in
style on the Joel Casamayor-Roberto
Garcia bill to prove he had got over his
brutal defeat by Naseem Hamed

MIKE TYSON resumed training on January 3 in West
Palm Beach, Miami and, one can presume, intends
to fight again after declaring before his last contest
against Andrew Golota in October he would retire.
"Everything's all right, but we're heading back to
ttie Golden Gloves Gym in Las Vegas," his trainer
Tommy Brooks told Thierry Chambefort.
Asked about Mike's next fight, Brooks said, "I'm
not too sure of the date, but February 24 and March

Malaysia against Hasim Rahman."

MIDLANDS boxing is mourning the passing of
CORDWELL HYLTON, who hanged himself on
Monday morning, and NEVILLE WILSON, who
died in his sleep of natural causes just before Christmas.
Hylton, twice Midlands cruiserweight champion, was 42. Wilson,
brother of former British light-heavyweight champion Tony, was 40.
Cordwell was the better known of the two. He fought from 1980
until 1995, boxing 73 times, winning 27, losing 43, drawing two
with one No Contest.

August as he hammered former 'world' champion
LUISITO ESPINOSA into submission at 1-36 of the fourth of
the 10-round chief support to Casamayor-Garcia.
Espinosa, a former WBA bantam king and WBC champ at feather (who
made seven defences), was still rated third by the WBC even though he looked
slow and jerky from the off.
Sanchez (9st 11b) advanced steadily with gloves high, showing surprising
upper body movement to avoid the Filipino's ragged jabs and crosses.
As Espinosa, 45-10 (24), kept pushing his left, he was bringing it back
dangerously low, but the 33-year-old was a bit of a "cutie". When he lashed
his left hooks, however, they did not look powerful
