HIGHGATE-based Ugandan Cornelius Bora-
Edwards faces a stiff test when he moves up a
weight to tackle the highly competent Roberto
Elizondo on an ABC-TV show in Hawaii tomor-
| row (Saturday), writes MARTIN CREASY.
It is an opportunity for Boza to impress in a 10
I rounds fight that is due to receive wide coverage
on the American network, but he will have to
stick to his boxing and be careful not to be
drawn into the sort of ungainly brawls that cost
him so much last year.

GERRY COONEY and Howard Davis Jnr. Two totally
different fighters with one thing in common. They are both
capable of winning a world title, but have both suffered
from the Dennis Rappaport and Mike Jones idea of how to
manage fighters.
Cooney went into the most important fight of his life
suffering from the drawback of 13 months of inactivity and
poor opposition. Who knows what a more experienced and
sharper Cooney might have achieved against Larry Holmes.
Davis had only 13 fights against modest opposition before
facing Jim Watt, and lacked1 the experience to win in front of
a hostile Glasgow crowd.

THEY called it the longest contest on record. The June
bulletin of the Sports Writers' Association, dealing with the
rights of competitors being defended by high-principled
administrators, highlights the case of Ingemar Johansson,
who was refused die runner-up medal after being disqualified
in the second round of the 1952 Olympic final against
America's Ed Sanders.
