LIGHT-WELTERWEIGHT contender Charles Murray
held off a n obstinate Sammy Fuentes to win a
hard-fought unanimous decision at t h e Taj Mahal. It
was Murray's most demanding fight since his loss to
Terrance Alii and went a long way toward answering
questions concerning "The Natural's" determination
and durability.

HARD-PUNCHING MERQUI SOSA overwhelmed
usually sturdy LENZIE MORGAN for a fifth-round
s t o p p a g e in a scheduled 10-round supermiddleweight
bout, billed as the co-main event.
Morgan, w h o ' s l a s t ed the route with the likes of
Nigel Benn, Lamar Parks, Chris Tiozzo and Henry
Maske, just couldn't cope with Sosa's bruising
o f f e n c e . He did his best to s t em the tide of crude
swings coming in his direction, but Lenzie's punches
lacked the s t e am to discourage the rampaging
Sosa.

PERHAPS the most astonishing fact about Dundee's Dick McTag-
gart winning both the lightweight gold medal and the coveted Val
Barker trophy for best stylist in the 1956 Melbourne Olympics was
that Boxing News didn't even rate the crew-cut RAF corporal as
being good enough earlier that year to win a domestic ABA title,
let alone amateur boxing's ultimate prize!
Writing in BN on Friday 27th April 1956 the "Bible's" then
amateur editor "Broughton" opined "Although George Martin (of'
Fisher ABC) will not In- pleased to hear that one of his rivals Dick
McTaggart is a southpaw, he should not be unduly worried."
In fairness, "Broughton's" judgement was based on future pro
star Dave Charnley ol Deptford's destruction of the blond
Dundonian inside a round in the ABA featherweight finals of 1954.
Again, not having hindsight, "Broughton" could not have
anticipated that M.% was to be the launch-pad year for an
amateur career ol unparalelled brilliance.
