THE DECISION of the BBBC to join the WBO may have
raised a few eyebrows, but it is a logical step. It is the
board's duty to look after the interests of its licence
holders, and with two of our top promoters putting on
WBO title fights, and many boxers involved, the Board
had to put itself in a position where it could have a say in
decisions which would affect boxing and boxers here.
Whether the WBO is good for world boxing in the long
term is another matter. Despite their bumbling incompetence
and their infinitely adjustable ratings, they have
been good for boxing here, and will not simply fade away,
so the Board have accepted the inevitable.

THE "Life begins at 30" bandwagon gathered new momentum as
31-year-old Don Lalonde scored his second comeback fight,
stopping Bert Gravley in the seventh of ten (three minute) rounds
on Phil Alessi's promotion at the Sundome.
As in many of his previous fights, Lalonde's favoured right hand
was instrumental in the win: a sizzling cross swept perfectly over
Gravley's jab, opened a cut over his eye and a follow-up left hook
to the midrif sunk him for six.

ANY residual credibility left in Larry Holmes' latest
comeback was shattered as he laboured inelegantly
against the limited Art Card at the Marriott World
Center.
Holmes, 41, won a wide decision, but suffered the
indignity of taking repeated clubbing rights to his head
and was wheezing hard at the end of the ten rounds.

A BIG-HITTING match-up between Area champions
Michael Ayers and Walsall's Peter Till provided
plenty of thrills before the Midlands lightweight
titleholder was led back to his corner by referee Dave
Parris after 55 seconds of the fifth round with blood
dripping from a cut over his left eye in the chief
support.

IN FEBRUARY 1942 three of the famous O'Sullivan boxing brothers from
Finsbury Park, London, travelled to Alperton, together with their trainer Jim
Pettengell, to box on an amateur tournament organised by the Glacier BC.
They were fully expected to come away with a hat-trick of victories. Indeed
Danny and Dickie won their bouts, but Tommy lost on points to Ken Diston of
West Hendon BC, who obviously hadn't read the script.
