REFEREE Sid Nathan needed a police escort from
ringside after deciding that Dave Needham had outpointed
local challenger Pat Cowdell to retain the British
featherweight title at the Civic Hall. When Nathan
raised Needham's arm at the end of 15 bitter rounds, the
sellout crowd went crazy.

VICTOR GALINDEZ of Argentina has been stripped of
the WBA light-heavyweight title for failing to go
through with a defence against MARVIN JOHNSON.
Johnson, former WBC champion, and MIKE ROSSMAN,
former WBA champion, meet on the December 1 Ray Leonard v
Wilfredo Benitez title bill for the vacant crown.
Rossman was completely manhandled by Galindez in losing
the WBA title and Johnson hammered by Matthew Franklin for
the WBC crown.

AS EXPECTED, the unveiling of the Freddie Mills Memorial at Bournemouth
attracted a large number of former boxers and other interested people. It was
estimated that 300 were present, so many in fact that latecomers stood no
chance of getting near the ceremony, and had to wait until it had finished
before being able to look at the memorial and the four seats surrounding it in
the form of a ring.

ANGEL MILIAN, Teofilo Stevenson's arch-rival in the
Cuban heavy stakes, buys dolls wherever he goes. Two
every time because he has t w o daughters. One is t w o and
a half and the other a year old. Perhaps he would like the
Cuban selectors to practise the same spirit of equality
when deciding nominations to big-trophy meets.
Milian is still hoping he'll get the Moscow Olympic ticket and
is training twice a day religiously, which is more than single
man about town Teofilo does. But the odds are firmly in
Stevenson's favour, of course.
