THE Winter Circus in Paris on a cold night in October is not the most glamorous of
venues, especially when one has squared off with the likes of Duran and Cervantes
in the course of a globe-trotting career.
But when one is 44-years-old and in need of another payday, there are worse
places to be. Like the Bronx. Like Vietnam. Both of which have figured in the
curriculum vitae of Saoul Mamby, the former WBC light-welterweight champion of a
decade ago whose talents never received their just financial reward.
Mamby is better at 44 than some boxers are at 24. He's just gone the distance with

FRANK BRUNO allows Steve Davis and Bill
Beaumont to take liberties when they appeared on
A Question of Sport in 1986. All three had jetted to
Manchester from various parts of the world, Davis
from a snooker tournament in Hong Kong, Bruno
from Las Vegas, where he watched the Hagler-
Mugabi fight, and Beaumont from Paris, where he
commentated on the France-England rugby international.

THE 1991 European championships in Gothenburg,
Sweden brought on some major changes in international
amateur boxing. The Soviet Union had to be
content with three gold medals and with East Germany
no longer on the map Eastern European
dominance has ceased.
The old system has more or less vanished, leaving East
and West to compete on equal conditions. Countries as
Ireland and Sweden who hadn't won a single gold medal in
42 and 40 years respectively once again reached the top.
Roberto Welin won Sweden's gold medal at welterweight,
outpointing Soviet Vladimir Ereschenko in the final. Not long
ago a Swedish victory against Soviet in a major boxing
tournament would have been regarded as most unlikely. In
the opening round of the championships Welin stopped
England's Paul Burns in one round.
