Hesitant Moore has no answer

CHANCE BATTLES ON TOWARDS TITLE TILT

Spinks has to settle for a draw

McLean hits peak form

IT'S A TREBLE FOR THE CHRISTLES!

DISAPPOINTMENTS and sheer bad luck litter Alan Minter's career
but on Sunday (March 16) in Las Vegas he has the chance to make it
all come good by hammering the world middleweight championship
from the, perhaps, uncertain grasp of New York-Italian Vito
Antuofermo.
The afternoon 15-rounder, to be televised live in the United States
by ABC-TV and in Britain on Sunday night (due to the time
difference) by ITV is one that Minter looks well-placed to win.
The 28-year-old southpaw from Crawley has been stopped six
times on cuts but the world title fight comes at j u s t the right time for
him.

BRIGHTON'S lanky southpaw Tommy Kiely is one win
away from a British heavyweight title challenge after his
clear if at times monotonous points win over Tony
Moore in their semi-final eliminator at Merton Civic
Hall.

STEPNEY'S Young England international Tony Connolly
(St. George's) sprung a major surprise when he
crushed Repton's fancied Richard Burwood in little
more than a round to win theTeatherweight title in the
North East London Divisional championships staged
before a capacity crowd at York Hall.

THE come-back ABA title challenge of former England
captain Paul Kelly came to an ignominious end at Leeds
Town Hall when he was disqualified for persistent holding in
the semi-final of the North East Counties Championships.
Full report next week.
