ON THE ABA CHAMPIONSHIP TRAIL
 
Six out of ten for Battersea
THE career of that great little flyweight Santos Laciar may
be close to its end. On December 21 in Catamarca Santos
lost a split decision to local boy Hugo Soto. It was his first
defeat by a fellow Argentinian since 1979. The lost cost
Santos his slot in the world top ten and any chance of
another worid title fight. At 32 and with 101 bouts behind
MEXICALI — January 6: IBF featherweight champion JORGE PAEZ drew
a crowd of almost 10,000 in his hometown as he destroyed former Mexican
titleholder JAVIER MARQUEZ in three rounds of a scheduled ten.
Paez, who used to be employed as a sparring partner by Marquez
received a cut on his left eyebrow in the third round, but pounded away
until referee Fernando Sorroza stopped the fight after two minutes four
seconds of the session.
Paez's extra strength and power was the key. Marquez's nose bled in the
first and he took a hammering most of the way through the second as well
as in the third.
him, Santos has been one of the best. He will keep going
but the good days look to be over.
Soto must be in line for a shot at either the flyweight or
super-flyweight titles and has 21 wins and a draw.
The other big upset saw Osvaldo Corro win the
Argentinian lightweight title by stopping Fabian Tejeda in
12 rounds in Cordosa on December 13. The battle of
southpaws was officially ended by a cut, but Tejeda had
taken two compulsory eight counts and was well beaten.
Corro has lost only one of his 27 fights. It was Tejeda's first
loss in 25 bouts.
 
THE DEATH of former British and Empire flyweight champion
Frankie Jones came as a great shock to those who knew him,
although he had been ill for some time. He would have been 58
on February 12. His professional career was comparatively short,
just 25 bouts in five years, of which he won 17 and lost eight.
Frankie was born at Larkhall, Lanarkshire, about 15 miles
south east of Glasgow. Like his father Jackie Jones, Frankie
became a coal miner at Plean Colliery in Stirlingshire. He
reckoned to have had close on 300 bouts as an amateur, starting
at the age of nine. He became Scottish ABA champion, also ABA
semi-finalist, and after winning the National Coal Board title in
1955 turned pro with Joe Gans, father of Walter McGowan, who
had trained him for the majority of his bouts with Larkhall BC.
Walter McGowan, former World flyweight champion, knew him
better than most, and told me: "We first me when I was about 14
years old, and established an immediate rapport, which
continued throughout his career and throughout mine. We must
have sparred hundreds of rounds together.
 
NEWCASTLE'S John Davison has pulled out of his British
featherweight title fight with Sean Murphy at the London
Arena on Februay 13 writes GRAHAM ROBINSON.
A freak sparring accident with stablemate Paul Charters
saw Davison rushed to hospital after he took a blow to the
eye.
