Mamby is toppled by outsider Haley

HOW THE AMATEURS LINE UP

Storm over that Croombes verdict

HIS business with Gerry Cooney satisfactorily settled, heavyweight champion Larry Holmes sur- veys the wasteland he's created while he ponders the future.

IRISH LEROY HALEY, a 27-year-old black fighter from Las
Vegas, sprang one of the big upsets of the year when he battled his
way to a split 15 rounds points win over SAOUL MAMBY of New
York to capture the WBC light-welterweight title. The fight, at the
Front Road Theatre in the suburbs of Cleveland was part of a
weekend championship double-header promoted by Don King and
televised by CBS-TV.

MARVIN HAGLER's broken rib suffered
in sparring at Provincetown, Mass,
forces the postponement of his compulsory
defence against Fulgencio Obelmejias,
a bout that had just been arranged to
take place at San Remo, Italy, for later
this month.

ABA OFFICIALS appeared worried at the Cafe Royal,
Piccadilly, when Navy light-middleweight Nick Croombes
received a majority points verdict over Park Youth, Swindon's
Cameron Lithgow, for it was a trial bout for England's
Commonwealth Games team. And many of them
thought Croombes was lucky to get the verdict!

ON Guy Fawkes' Day,
1856, Jem Carney was born;
that tough and rough Birmingham
boy who used his
bare fists to climb from
obscurity to fighting fame.
Jem Carney, who won a
world's championship title in
America, but had to come home
without it. Jem Carney, who
was sentenced to six months
hard labour because the man he
had been fighting died 10 days
later as the result of a fall. Jem
Carney, who became bodyguard
to Squire Abingdon Baird, one
of the dashing young bloods of
the Naughty Nineties.
