BOBBY WELLS, former ABA champion and
Olympic bronze medallist at superheavyweight,
had plenty of problems in his pro
debut before outscoring Chesterfield's brave
Chris Devine over six exciting rounds at
Merton Civic Hall.

IT'S truly a crossroads fight for modern great Alexis Arguello and former
WBC champ Bill Costello when they clash in a big light-welter 10-rounder at
Reno, Nevada on Sunday.
Arguello, 34 in April, can go on to a world lOst title fight if he wins and
the chance to be the first-ever champ in four weight divisions.
Costello is coming back from a shocking defeat last August at Madison
Square Garden when he was
Lightnin' Lonnie Smith to lose
his world title in his fourth defence.

WHEN Barry McGuigan ducks between the ropes at Dublin's RDS
showgrounds on February 15 to defend his WBA featherweight title it
will be the first world championship fight in the Irish capital for 63 years.
There are still quite a few old-timers in Ireland today who vividly
recall the happenings inside and outside La Scala theatre just off
O'Connell Street on March 17, 1923.
The fistic rivals that memorable night were Battling Siki, a
heavily-muscled black fighter from Senegal in West Africa, and Co
Clare's darling boy Mike McTigue, somewhat past his best but still
capable of outfoxing any of the world's best fighting men.

US AMATEUR boxing is still a pale shadow of its
pre-Olympic self. Its standards are way below those
customary by this stage in the inter-Olympic cycle, as
evidenced by the lack of even a solitary US gold at last
November's World Cup III in Seoul and, last week, by the
crushing 12-0 defeat of the touring US selection at the hands
of their Russian hosts.
