BRITISH and Commonwealth lightweight champion
Carl Crook, has what on paper should be a fairly
routine defence against Southern Area titleholder,
I a n Honeywood at Preston Guildhall on
Wednesday.
But the 26-year-old challenger won't be taking any
notice of suggestions like that!
Honeywood, for four years a value-for-money all
action performer with a relatively unspectacular
record, has probably the only chance he's going to
get to break into the big time.

A NAME from the bad old days surfaced again recently
when Tim Witherspoon was told that Blinky Palermo
wanted to have a talk with him about his law suit against
Don King. Back in the 1940's and 50's Palermo and Frankie
Carbo of Murder Inc. controlled a number of world titles
until their mob rule was broken up.
Tim's former trainer Slim Robinson said Palermo's
only concern was to get the former champion's career
back on the road, but it could be that King is worried about
the outcome of Tim's suit

ARRON DAVIS defends his WBA welterweight title against
former IBF light-welterweight champion Meldrick Taylor
at the Trump Plaza, Atlantic City on January 19.
The show will be co-promoted by Madison Square
Garden and Main Events/Monitor with live viewing on
HBO.

FORMER IBF lightweight champion Greg Haugen
returned to action after his upset loss to Vinnie Pazienza
and captured a 10-round unanimous verdict over veteran
journeyman Irish Tommy Hanks.

MASTERFUL Julio Cesar Chavez (9st 13lb) marched on
to his 73rd consecutive victory when he dismantled
Korean Kyung-Duk Ahn (9st 13lbs) in the third round to
retain his WBC and IBF light-welterweight titles.
The challenger almost pulled out on the afternoon of the
fight over a dispute regarding his purse money — the way
Chavez worked him over to the body must have made him
wish he'd stayed away.

A POWERFUL Welsh schoolboy team, seemingly drawn mainly from top
South Wales club Pontypool and Panteg ABC, beat their English
counterparts by the runaway margin of eight bouts to three at the
prestigious Moat House Hotel, thus staking their claim to be the best in the
British Isles.
Prizes were presented to the competitors by reigning British superfeatherweight
champion Kevin Pritchard, who gave his services for the
evening entirely free of charge.
