Ayala gets 10 years
• TONY AYALA JNR, the outstanding teenage Texan
puncher of the 1980s who was groomed for stardom
before being jailed for 17 years for rape, is back behind
bars.
Ayala Jnr, now 41, made a remarkable, high-profile
comeback after his release in 1999 but two years
later was in trouble again when shot in the arm after
breaking and entering a young woman's home in the
early hours.
The boxer was convicted of burglary with intent to
commit aggravated assault and placed on probation.
He was lucky, because his initial imprisonment for
rape had also seen him first breaking and entering a
woman's home.
Early last month, his luck run out.
Ayala Jnr, once so aptly dubbed the "Little Bull",
violated the terms of his probation when stopped in
his native San Antonio simply for speeding.
Police found drug paraphernalia in his vehicle as
well as pornographic material - both no-nos, too, as
part of his probation deal.
When Ayala Jnr went before Texas State District
Judge Maria Teresa Herr late last month, he was
shown no mercy.
She sentenced him to 10 years in jail.

Takaloo cornered
• TAKALOO couldn't work friend and stablemate Steve
Murray's corner last Friday (see pages 4-5) because he
wasn't licensed to do so.
Murray wanted him to be part of the team as they
had trained together with Danny Williams in New York
and Takaloo's good humour kept the Harlow challenger
relaxed.
Takaloo was ringside during Murray's fight with
Graham Earl but taking over from Jim McDonnell in
the corner was Terry Stewart, who, given the extent
of Murray's injuries, did an excellent job.

Mbaye eliminator
• TALENTED French light-welterweight Souleymane
Mbaye takes on Ukrainian Andreas Kotelnik in a
WBA title eliminator at Levallois in the Parisian
suburbs on October 14.
The same show will feature young, unbeaten
Jackson Chanet against Rachid Kanfouah for
the EU super-middleweight title.
Chanet, son of former European heavyweight champ
Jean-Maurice, boxed as a heavyweight in the Sydney
Olympics four years ago.
