Boxing News Magazine 1990 Memorabilia

FORMER British middleweight champion Dick Turpin
died in Heathcote Hospital near Warwick last Saturday. He
was 69.
Turpin was a fine technician and although he didn't have
the natural punch which took younger brother Randolph
to the top, he proved himself the best middleweight in the
country in the late 1940s.
But for the war years and the reprehensible prejudices
of the time, Turpin would undoubtedly have been even
more successful than he was.

BLEEDING from the mouth, with his right eye almost swollen shut, and on the verge of
being stopped himself, Aaron Davis nailed Mark Breland with a desperation right hand
— and now is the new WBA welterweight champion of the world.
The skinny 6ft 2in Breland lurched into Davis, spun, then crashed to the deck landing
on the back of his head. He twitched slightly, but never even looked like he'd beat referee
Mills Lane's count. The time was 2:56 of the ninth round.
The 27-year old so-called Golden Boy was down about five minutes. As a precautionary
measure, a ringside physician, Dr Jim McGlennan, ordered Breland to be taken to St.
Mary's Hospital where he'd be checked for a "possible concussion". Though there'll
undoubtedly be excuses, Breland is finished. He was knocked out so completely, with his
legs lurching crazily even from Davis' first-round jabs, he could get seriously hurt if he
continues.

BIDDING to become to the first kick boxing champion ever
to win a world boxing title, Troy Dorsey's efforts fell just
short, as Jorge Paez staged a second-rally to salvage his
IBF featherweight championship with a 12-round draw.
At the finish Dorsey's eyes were purplish slits. He had
cuts on three different parts of his face and was spitting
blood.

ENGLAND'S success story in multi-nations tournaments continued
when they won an excellent three silver and two bronze medals in
the Acropolis Cup. .
In sweltering heat with temperatures topping 35 degrees centigrade
(over 100 decree fahrenheit) Peter Richardson, Paul Burns
and Richie Woodhall all made it into the final, while John Lyon
and Monty Wright reached the last four.
Lightweight Richardson (Phil Thomas School of Boxing) opened
up with a points victory over Hungarian champion Laszlo Szucs in
the quarter-finals.
