OLYMPIC QUALIFYING TOURNAMENT SPECIAL
THERE was only one winner in Melbourne last weekend when African
AZUMAH NELSON cemented his place in history as one of the greats
with a flawless eighth round stoppage of undefeated JEFF FENECH, the
Thunder from Down Under. Their first match, last June, ended in a
controversial draw but Nelson produced a sensational performance to
floor his opponent three times. Full report on pages 16-17.

FIDEL CASTRO, unlike his famous namesake,
fought without much public support at the
National Sports Centre to hang on to his
British super-middleweight title with a deserved
but highly unpopular points decision
over Streatham's Lou Gent

LIVERPOOL'S Andy Holligan reached a new peak
when he hammered Tony McKenzie, Leicester, to a
quick defeat in their championship clash at Everton
Park Sports Centre.
Holligan (24), defending his British and Commonwealth
light-welter titles, put a second notch on his
Lonsdale Belt by forcing referee Dave Parris to halt a
contest that had become totally one-sided after two
minutes 44 seconds of t h e third round.

Till, is a far from happy man. Despite
possessing the recently acquired WBC International
belt, challenges for the more lucrative championships
are proving elusive. In fact, Till believes that the only
way a shot at either Wally Swift's British crown or Chris
Pyatt's Commonwealth title will be forthcoming is if it is
ordered by their respective organisations.

AZUMAH NELSON left no room for argument this time as he battered Australia's
Jeff Fenech to an eighth-round defeat to retain the WBC super-featherweight title
and, in the process, confirm his right to be counted with the great champions of
his generation.
When they last met at the Las Vegas Mirage in June 1991, the majority view was
that the 33-year-old Ghanaian veteran was flattered by the draw which saved his
title and kept alive a career which looked to be winding towards its end. But
second time around, with 38,000 Australians howling their hostility in a rain-swept
open-air stadium, Nelson gave probably the finest performance of his life to
outclass, demoralise and finally subdue an unbeaten opponent who was a
three-weights world champion in his own right.
