FRANK BRUNO barely had to exert himself in a one-sided rout of the
amazingly brave but outclassed Eddie Neilson of Swindon whom he
halted in the third of their scheduled 10-rounder, officially on cuts,
writes TIM MO.
The cut above Eddie's right eye was the worst injury I have seen in
eight years at ringside. In fact cut is hardly adequate to describe the awful
wound which seemed to burst open, the flesh falling away in a terrible
gash.

IN HIS first fight under the management of former world
champion Maurice Hope, Manchester middleweight Eddie
Smith showed excellent resilience and durability in winning
the top of the bill bout at Belle Vue, Manchester.
Smith, fighting for the second time since his career was
threatened following a car accident two years ago, had the
boost of a partisan, packed house at the Windermere Suite.

WELSH light-heavyweight champion Bonny McKenzie has been
forced to retire because of failing vision in his left eye. Bonny has
been a pro since June 1976, and has fought in France, Italy
(where he won a rare points verdict), Denmark, Holland, Germany
(another win), Switzerland and Luxembourg.
He won 15 and drew one of his 55 fights, but don't be misled by
the 36 losses - they were to quality opponents like Tony Sibson
(three times), Roy Gumbs (four times), David Pearce (twice) and
Gordon Ferris.

BRITISH light-welterweight champion Clinton
McKenzie defends his tide for the fifth time against
official challenger, Alan Lamb, in the 12-round main
event at Liverpool Stadium, tonight (Friday), writes
ANTHONY CONNOLLY.
Southpaw McKenzie, already the owner of a
Lonsdale Belt following his stoppage of Des Morrison
in January 1981, could, under the old Board of
Control rule, have gained ownership of a second Belt
tonight if he defeated Lamb.

IF world ratings were compiled on the basis of statistics
alone, Lorenzo Garcia would be No. 1. The Argentinian
lightweight champion outpointed Ricardo Espinosa on
February 18 in San Pedro to take his unbeaten run to 47
fights. That means he has the longest current unbeaten run,
but it proves very little.
Judging by his draw with Forrest Winchester, Lorenzo is
just a fair club fighter, and will eventually burn himself out
on the tough local circuit.

IT'S taken me a long time to thaw out from the wilds of
Massachusetts where even the brass monkeys required lagging
the night Marvin Hagler looked his best against Tony
Sibson. Hence the missing column here. Mind you, it's been
back on the treadmill since then. Wembley, and the magic
atmosphere for Charlie Magri, and then the pick-up of a
shocked little world champion at Bethnal Green for 'This is
Your Life'.
