Cable keeps his record in a thriller

Sanigar v Smith: a classic

It's easy, easy for the classy Bomber

THE MOST WIDELY-READ AMATEUR PAGES IN THE WORLD

COLIN JONES must have despaired when
he heard last weekend that Jorgen Hansen
had relinquished the European welterweight
title which he was due to defend
against the Welshman on February 18.
But promoter Mogens Palie has offered Jones
the same purse - £18,000 - to meet Hans
Henrik Palm for the vacant title.
Subject to EBU approval, the fight is set for
Copenhagen in late February. See page 24.

THERE wasn't much doubt about who our overseas fighter
of the year for 1981 would be. Sugar Ray Leonard, the
biggest attraction in the ring today, showed the qualities of
greatness when he rallied to stop Thomas Hearns in the fight
of the year.

ORPINGTON'S unbeaten Jimmy Cable made a fine start to
the New Year by well outpointing Ealing's George Walker
over eight splendid rounds at York Hall.
Walker (list 21bs) looked in a bad way in the last two
rounds, bleeding from the nose and from a cut by the left
eye. He was under constant pressure as Cable (list lib)
placed solid shots more or less as he liked.

NEVILLE MEADE'S hold on the British heavyweight crown
looks especially precarious.
At an admitted 34, the Swansea-based former Commonwealth
Games champion from Jamaica is decidedly short on time.
In the past he's also been short on stamina, but the bomb he
carries in his right fist eliminates that worry against most opponents
on the domestic scene.

NEW featherweight star Barry McGuigan has a
meaningful test in the main event on Barney
Eastwood's Ulster Hall show on January 26. He meets
newly-crowned Welsh champion Don George, who
took the title with an upset win over the previously unbeaten
Mervyn Bennett.
