HONEST professionalism was rewarded as Jimmy
Cable, a fighter for whom nobody has done any
favours, trounced fancied southpaw Nick Wilshire
to become British light-middleweight champion.

ROCKY Kelly scored the best win of his
chequered career and, at last, lived up to expectations
when he outpointed veteran Chris
Sanigar over 10 rounds to win the vacant
Southern Area welterweight title.

A CUT over the left eye brought an end to Patsy
Quinn's interest in the third of a scheduled eight twos
against Wednesbury's Granville Allen at the Arden
Sporting Club.
For the first two rounds, Quinn (lOst 41bs), Belfast,
weaved forward and hooked effectively to head and
body.

EUROPEAN featherweight champion
BARRY McGUIGAN (left) faces the biggest
test of his glittering career at the
King's Hall, Belfast, on April 4, when he
takes on JOSE CABA of the Dominion
Republic over 12 rounds.

DOMINANT as ever, Errol Christie dismissed his 11th
victim, Dexter Bowman, in the second of a ten (three
minute) rounder at the Civic Hall. The fight was in no sense
a test for Christie: his opponent was a willing, but limited,
American, who was fighting four-rounders only a year ago
and has operated mainly on the States' club circuit, accumulating
a record of five wins against three defeats (one draw),
though some sources have claimed five additional, undocumented
wins.

MICHAEL SPINKS was given an unexpectedly tough time by underdog
Eddie Davis before retaining his undisputed world light-heavyweight
title on a unanimous 12 round decision at Resorts International Hotel.
Davis insisted that he had done enough to win, and indeed judge Carol
Castellano had Spinks in front by only one point at the finish with a score
of 115-114.

ENGLAND featherweights Kevin Taylor and Peter English
served up an East Lanes and East Cheshire divisional
final that must have left watching national coach Kevin
Hickey with plenty of food for thought.

THESE normally good-natured championships degenerated into
unruly scenes this year as the finals got under way and terminated
with a posse of policemen on standby at the regular Municipal Hall
venue.
A double disqualification in the lightweight final provided the
flashpoint.
Target of abuse was referee Joe Dawson, from the neighbouring
North East division, who gave reigning London champion Tony
Graham of St Pancras and Danny Whittington (All Stars) their
marching orders with 15 seconds remaining of the opening final of
the evening session.
