ONE OF the most touching
stories in boxing history is
of Jim Driscoll, who turned
down the offer of a worid
featherweight title fight in New
York in 1911 because he had
given his word to box a fundraising
exhibition for Nazareth
House, a Catholic orphanage in
Cardiff.

IN another heavyweight match,
former world-class amateur OLEG
MASKAEV (16st 8lbs), from Brooklyn,
New York (who boxed out of the Soviet
Union), found there is a huge difference
in the pros as he struggled before
finally flooring savvy MIKE "TRUCK"
ROBINSON {I7st 71bs), from Saratoga
Springs, New York, three times in the
seventh for an automatic stoppage.

AZUMAH NELSON'S next
defence of the WBC superfeatfierweigfit
title could be
against former WBA champion
Genaro Hernandez.
The veteran Ghanaian was
expected to defend against another
former title-holder in Gabriel
Ruelas. whom he beat on points
in 1993 and stopped in five rounds
in December, but Nelson's promoter
Bob Arum wants to match
Ruelas with Tracy Harris
Patterson.
The problem, however, is that
Patterson is scheduled to meet
popular Arturo GattI in a
rematch for the IBF title, which
would spoil Arum's plans for a
Nelson-Gatti unification match.
