TWO British fighters established themselves in world class last week. Keith
Wallace (above) stopped Steve Muchoki for the Commonwealth flyweight
title and now eyes the WBA crown, while British lightweight champ George
Feeney (inset), took the WBA champ Ray Mancini to a tough points decision
that enhances his standing.

ONE PUNCH, a magnificent right uppercut thrown midway through the eighth
round of his Commonwealth flyweight title challenge against Steve Muchoki, made
21-year-old Keith Wallace a champion and propelled him firmly into world class.
The punch shattered the classy little Kenyan: he managed to stay on his feet and
survive the round, but all the bounce, snap and skill seemed to have been drained
from him and Wallace completed the job just 42 seconds into the ninth of their
scheduled 15 rounds. .
Muchoki protested when referee Mike Jacobs moved in to rescue him as Wallace
landed five or six head shots without reply, with Muchoki lolling against the ropes
above me. But the protest was more instinctive than realistic, and Mogens Palle, the
Dane who guided Muchoki to a world tide bid last year, nodded his approval of
Jacob's perfecdy-timed stoppage.

THE third stage of the Joe Bugner comeback rolls on
at the Alexandra Palace on Wednesday (February 16)
when he meets American veteran John (Dino) Dennis
over 10 rounds, writes MARTIN CREASY.
Since joining the Frank Warren stable to pick up
the threads of his often controversial career, Bugner
has beaten Winston Allen and Eddie Neilson, and
there have been the familiar threats and boasts to
accompany the fistic action.

BILLY AIRD continues his heavyweight crusade for
recognition with an eight-rounder against relatively inexperienced
Frenchman Maurice Gomis at Lewisham Town
Hall on Monday.
Gomis has a moderate record during his pro career which
commenced in disastrous fashion in October 1980.
He lost in three rounds to Ali Lukusa known to British
fans for being the first "away" victim of Frank Bruno.
Bruno saw him off in two rounds in Germany last year.
