THE RULES regarding qualification for a WBC International title
fight must have changed. Originally no-one rated in the top ten in
any division was eligible. However, Lou Cafaro. rated No. 4
super-middleweight and Crisanto Espana, rated No. 8 welterweight,
have been accepted as challengers for vacant titles.
The old manipulation of the ratings also comes in to it with Kid
Milo and Luis Santana slipped into the top 30 in January despite
losing their previous fights. In fact, Santana had been inactive since
February 1990. The same thing happened with Hyungjae Hwang
who was slipped into the WBC top 30 at a time when he could not
even get into the Korean top 10.

So take the road to Stockport which hosted two shows last
week.

IN boxing, nostalagia is always what it
used to be. The photo taken by my Brownie
at Southampton in 1947 lines up the leading
boxing writers of the time, myself
excluded, who could make-or-break to
prove the pen is mightier than the sword.
We gathered with promoter Jack Solomos
(the best of all) to welcome
heavyweight Joe Baksi arriving on the
Queen Mary to fight Bruce Woodcock.
