COMMONWEALTH lightmiddleweight
champion
M i c h a e l J o n e s
defends his crown and
also challenges for the vacant British
title when he takes on Manchester's
J a m i e iVioore on home turf at
the Everton Park Sports Centre
tomorrow (Saturday, April 19).
Muscular Moore had been set to feature on
the underoard until early this week, when
original Jones foe Paul Samuels pulled out.
With two titles on the line, we doubt Jamie
took long to consider jumping up.
Jones probably wasn't too happy, seeing
as Moore is a southpaw and Samuels not, but
that's the fight game.

MARCO ANTONIO BARRERA
boxed with almost regal
disdain before seeing off
the latest pretender to his
1 throne, KEVIN KELLEY, at
1-32 of the fourth to retain the
featherweight championship of the
world at the MGM-Grand Garden.
Kelley, the former WBC featherweight
king, was so woefully outclassed he was
lucky he wasn't knocked out in the first of
this scheduled 12-rounder.
Barerra, who fought with such precision
he hardly seemed to sweat, sent Kevin
crashing with a right lead-left hook just 90
seconds in.

CONGRATULATIONS to Kevin
and Vinny Mitchell, the
prodigious brothers from
the famous West Ham
ABC, on winning national ABA and
Schoolboy titles respectively within a
week of each other
I had the privilege of working with these
lads, having spent four years at West Ham as
assistant coach to both Micky "The IVIotivator"
May (trainer of 86 national champions) and
Terry "The Technician" Abbot, a former highclass
bantamweight who boxed for the defunct
Tate & Lyie club just up the road.
Terry Is the quiet, genuine Mr Nice Guy
whose boxing knowledge, padwork and
general all-round training are second to none.
Micky, meanwhile, needs no intoduction in
our neck of the woods. He can turn an
average boxer into a brilliant boxer - you have
only to look at the names on West Ham's roll
of honour for proof.
