FUNSO B A N J O lost his unbeaten record and a chance to
make himself a name on the other side of the Atlantic
when he was outpointed by Marvis Frazier over 10
scrambling rounds at Alexandra Pavilion.
Referee Harry Gibbs scored 98'/2-97'/2. The veteran Mr
Gibbs did an excellent j o b of handling the fight. Banjo can
be a little negative but Mr Gibbs encouraged him to work
and handled his shows of temperament
with the right mixture
of firmness and discretion.
Banjo was warned for talking
to his opponent and for
delivering an amazing backhanded
foul blow in the sixth,
which did no damage.

TERRY MARSH cased
through his first appearance
as British lightw
e l t e r w e i g h t champion
with a second-round stoppage
of substitute ARTHUR
CLARKE, who was reported
to be the champion
of the Bahamas.
It was the quickest win of
Marsh's unbeaten career,
and while Clarke (9st
13'/2lbs) was obviously outclassed,
the quality and
variety of Marsh's punching
wks impressive.

BARRY McGUIGAN makes his first defence of the
British featherweight title after the long interval of 20
months when he meets official challenger Clyde Ruan over
12 rounds at the Ulster Hall. Belfast, on Wednesday,
writes TIM MO. McGuigan's European title is automatically
involved.
The respite is not a record for the division. Nel Tarleton
did not defend the British crown between 1940-1945, but
then there were other things going on then.

POUND-for-pound, Jones is the
hardest puncher around, though
there have been suspicions in his
recent fights that his ability to
put opponents away may be waning.
Billy Parks, for example,
surely would have been quickly
and cleanly despatched by the
Jones of three years ago. Still,
we'll assume that, when the
motivation returns, so will the
f o r m i d a b l e punch-power that
took Jones to within a fraction of
the world title.

BEST Boxer awards went
to two losers on the Park
F a r m t o u r n a m e n t at
A r n o l d Working Men's
Club.
Royal Oak's M. Warren
dropped the decision in a
g r e a t bout with Park
Farm's Mark Hind, but was
consoled with the first of
the trophies.
S e c o n d went to the
p r o m o t i n g c l u b ' s Pete
Launder, after he had been
outpointed by Sneinton's
more experienced welter
Chris Johnson in a fine
night's boxing.
