SHOCK FOR LAZY LAING

Banjo rushes to his fourth victory

Champion Gumbs can swing it again

CHRISTIES AT THE DOUBLE

FORMER world junior-lightweight champion Cornelius
Boza-Edwards, Harrow (9st 6V2 lbs) tuned up for
his European title bid against Carlos Hernandez in
this ring next month (March 17) with a disappointing
injury win over old pro Arturo Leon of Tucson, who
retired after four rounds with a damaged right
shoulder,

IN ANOTHER world title bout tomorrow (Saturday),
Michael Spinks defends his World Boxing Association
light-heavyweight title against his official No. 1 contender,
Mustapaha Wassaja, of Uganda and Denmark, at Atlantic
City over the ABC-TV network.
Both are unbeaten, Spinks with 18 wins in a row, 12 
inside the distance, and Wassaja with 25 consecutive victories,
only five won inside schedule.

"I FEEL I can beat anyone now," Sean Mannion, the
Boston-Irishman originally from Galway, said after
outsmarting heavily favoured Nino Gonzalez over 10 rounds
at the Ice World Arena in Totowa, New Jersey.
Sean said he's thinking in terms of a world title fight,
which might sound as if he's getting a little carried away.
But Gonzalez had the offer of a fight with Wilfred Benitez
last year for the WBC light-middle title, turning it down to
take a 10-rounder, for more money, against Roberto Duran,
who licked him on points.

UNBEATEN Davey Moore of New York captured the
WBA light-middleweight title in his ninth pro fight as he
slammed holder Tadashi Mihara of Japan into defeat in the
sixth round at the Metropolitan Gymnasium.
Moore, 22, floored Mihara in the fifth and then battered
him to the floor three times in round six. Referee Carlos
Berrocal of Panama stopped
the bout on the threeknockdown
rule when Mihara
went down for the third
time after 53 seconds of the
sixth.

IRISH featherweight prospect Barry McGuigan had an easy run to his seventh win
in eight starts as he crushed Manchester's Ian Murray, who was stopped after 64
seconds of the third of their scheduled eight rounds main event at the World
Sporting Club
