DURAN GIVES IT ONE LAST TRY

Lucas shines

Clever Chance pips aggressive Baker to take title

Repton prove too hot for Battersea

KEN BUCHANAN, arguably the greatest
British fighter of the post-war period, wipes
away a tear as he announces his retirement
after his eight-rounds points loss to George
Feeney at the National Sporting Club on
Monday.

KEN BUCHANAN was cheered from the National Sporting
Club ring after dropping an eight-round verdict to
leading British lightweight contender George Feeney in a
great batde - and then grabbing the ring microphone to
announce that this was, at last, the end.
Buchanan, who made his pro debut in this ring in 1965
paid tribute to conqueror Feeney (nearly 12 years his
junior), thanked the NSC patrons for their support, and
made a special mention of matchmaker Les Roberts: "He
was with me then for my first fight and with me now for my
last one".

EUSEBIO PEDROZA of Panama, penalised two points for infringements, retained
the WBA featherweight title for the fourteenth time with a unamimous,
hard-fought 15-round points victory over Juan Laporte, of N ew York and Puerto
Rico, in a CBS-TV fight at the Sands Casino Hotel.
Referee Guy Jutras, of Montreal, instructed the judges to take a point from
Pedroza for punching below the belt in the eighth, and for using his elbow in the 14th.
