THREE former world champions creaking with rust, appeared on a show at
the Mahi Shrine Temple in Miami on June 27. The oldest was Colombian
Prudencio Cardona. Now 40 years old, the ex-WBC flyweight champion
returned after four years and was halted in four rounds by the former
NABF super-bantamweight title-holder Darryl Pinckney.
Next in the age stakes was Bill Costello, at 36. Out of the ring for over
six years, Bill had an easier job and stopped Marvin Ladson in three
rounds. Bill was WBC light-welterweight title holder.
Youngest of the three was Carlos DeLeon. The 33-year-old former
WBC cruiserweight champion, inactive since July 1990, halted Bruce
Johnson in four rounds.

FORMER British welterweight champion Jack Hood died last weekend
at the age of 89.

1926-33, won a Lonsdale Belt outright and boxed in front of the Prince
Of Wales on a fanjous night at the Blackfriars Ring.
He also challenged Len Harvey for the British middleweight crown
three times, losing a couple of decisions and also holding him to a draw
at London's Olympia in December 1929.

IRISH heroes Michael Carruth and Wayne McCullough put their country back on
the medal map after 12 long years when they won their quarter-final contests last
Monday, assuring of themselves of at least a bronze.
And Carruth will receive at least a silver medal following the reported withdrawal
of his scheduled semi-final opponent, Arkom Chenglai of Thailand. Chenglai was
ruled out after picking-up a cut right cheek in his 9-6 quarter-final win over Vitalius
Karpaciauskas of Lithuania.

THE 17-6 defeat of light-flyweight Rowan Williams by
Roel Velasco of the Phillippines in the quarter-finals
left Ian Irwin fuming about the wideness of the margin
on the new computer scoring system.
"I could have accepted a difference of two or three
points, but not this," said chief coach Irwin.
"Giving Rowan nothing at all in the second round was
ridiculous. They're making things look silly. The judges
are terrified to press their scoring buttons if they don't
see a boxer's head jolted back.
