IT was interesting to s e e that Terry Norris weighed
only lOst 9lbs for his WBC light-middleweight title
defence against Meldrick Taylor. Presumably it was a
private agreement that Norris should reduce that low.
but it leaves unanswered the question of what would
have happened if Norris c a m e in at 11st. He would have
been inside the division limit which would set a nice
legal dilemma. It also raised the question of whether
Taylor would have been able to insist his challengers
weighed a c e r t a in amount if he had won the title. If he
could do it as a challenger, he could do it as a
champion.

ONE of the perks of working for the World Boxing Council was the opportunity it
gave me to visit Mexico City. I enjoyed the three trips I made there and found tin-
Mexicans to be great hosts. The people were warm, friendly and colourful, and like
any tourist I took in the sights and bought my souvenirs.
Because I was careful where I ventured I never felt threatened there, but visitors
can get mugged if they are not vigilant.

Jacobsen had his first fight for almost 16 months when
he knocked out American William Betts in the first of a

Jacobsen, now 30, had not fought since he was
stopped on cuts in the ninth by Manning Galloway in a
WBO welterweight title challenge back in February
1991.
