OUT OF TOUCH -BUTCOWDELL IS CHAMPION

Easy night for Bruno

Allen jabs to victory

RINGSIDE AT THE LONDON ABA FINALS

THE youthful aggression and manic desire for victory
of European light-middleweight champion Luigi
Minchillo was too powerful a combination for Maurice
Hope, whose career ended with a split decision
defeat by the Italian in their bruising 12-round title
fight at Wembley Arena.

WORLD class featherweight Pat Cowdell annexed
the European crown to his British title when he halted
title-holder Salvatore Melluzzo of Italy on cuts at the
end of the 10th of the scheduled 12-rounder.
For Cowdell, it was a less than sparkling performance.
He was very off-form, yet it perhaps serves to
emphasise his class rather than detract from his abilities,
since it was enough to beat the best in Europe.

IT'S back to reality for Gordie Racette, the Western Canadian
heavyweight and his manager Tony Dowling, an Irish ex-pro who
boxed out of Northampton before emigrating to Canada.
Racette, though game, was exposed as just a strong novice in world
class terms as he was thumped to defeat in the 11th round by muscled
Trevor Berbick, of Nova Scotia by way of Jamaica, in their scheduled
12-rounder at Nanaimo, a boxing backwater on Vancouver Island in
British Columbia.

UNEMPLOYED 18-year-old Coventry
superstar Errol Christie made a shock exit
from the ABAs when he failed to make the
weight for his quarter final against Boyd
Barnes of Rayleigh Mills at Willenhall
Social Club.
