TWO days after the 16th anniversary of his professional
debut, the astonishing Roy Skeldon pulled off one of the
best wins of his career when he stopped former ABA
champion Denys Cronin in three rounds at the Civic Hall.
Skeldon, still fit and hard at 35 years of age, climbed up
from two knockdowns to turn the fight around with one
perfect right hand in the third.

PATIENCE is rewarded when unsung,
almost unknown though European champion,

Bohol of the Philippines for the 1BF
flyweight title at Wembley
Grand hall (the former Conference
Centre) on Wednesday.
The fight goes on over 12
rounds.

INITIAL reaction to Roberto Duran' s middleweight title
challenge against Iran Barkley might be, t o say t h e least,

GLASGOW'S Gary Jacobs surprised the Americans
with his tenth round hammering of JAVIER SUAZO
over ESPN TV from Las Vegas. They'd expected a
stand-up boxer of the jab and move type. Instead, Jacobs
got stuck in and fought like one of their own with lots of
body punching and Roberto Duran-type rough stuff.
Indeed, ESPN analyst Al Bernstein was concerned that ref
Toby Gibson might be too lenient by not taking a point away
from the southpaw Scot, who got plenty of cautions for boring in
with the head and also low blows.

FORMER British heavyweight champion Trevor
Hughroy Currie gets the chance to take a
