ARADICAL set of proposals put forward by neurosurgeon
Peter Hamlyn whereby championship fights could be
staggered over several hours and extended intervals take
place between rounds are totally impractical.
Hamlyn, who operated on Michael Watson almost exactly a
decade ago following his ill-fated rematch with Chris Eubank at
White Hart Lane, believes such tragedies as Watson's brain injury
are caused principally by fatigue.
To combat that, Hamlyn has put forward an idea in which
intervals between rounds could be increased to as long as three
minutes.

AS is his style in the ring, Northampton light-welter ALAN BOSWORTH speaks
from the heart but doesn't always get anywhere.
Thus, his continued campaign for a shot at the vacant British title has proved fruitless.
Bosworth does make a good point, however, in he is probably the only fighter (of those put
forward by the Board for eliminators) willing to face Junior Witter.
And another significant factor is the Board's decision to propose eliminators between the
leading available contenders to find a suitable opponent for Witter is not exactly fair on the
Bradford man.

STEPHEN SMITH is looking for a meaningful
fight (see pages 2-3) against a leading
American and, after knocking out inadequate
South African MELIKHAYA AUGUST in the
fourth of a scheduled 12 on the Audley bill, one
can hardly blame him.
The visitor had been approved as challenger for
the IBC light-welterweight belt Smith won in April
despite having lost his previous fight (on July 21
for the African Boxing Union lightweight title) by
knockout in the first.

THERE can be no way back for HERBIE HIDE after the
former two-time WBO heavyweight king was destroyed in
two rounds by Zambian JOSEPH CHINGANGU.
It was Hide's second comeback bout - scheduled for eight - since losing his
WBO title for the second time, against Vitali Klitschko at London Arena in June
1999.
In July he had stopped Russian Alexei Osokin in three and, at 16st 6lbs (one
pound lighter than two months ago), was in impressive shape.
Chingangu, beaten on points on his previous visit to these shores in a challenge
to Julius Francis for the Commonwealth title, had an ace up his sleeve in that he
had been training - sparring South Africans Come Sanders and Sebastiaan
Rothmann - when offered the fight.
