OF ALL the millions of words genferated by this magnificent championship
fight, the truest and most heart-felt were surely those uttered by Eusebio
Pedroza immediately after the final bell. The veteran Panamanian threw his
arms around Barry McGuigan, the man who had just ended his seven-year
title tenure, and told him "You will be a, great champion".
It was a measure of Pedroza's own worth as a champion that it took a
challenger as gifted as McGuigan to end his reign. The Irishman's victory was
overwhelming, by margins of 10 points on two cards and seven on the third,
but Pedroza's skill, spirit and dignity in defeat helped make this one of the
most memorable nights in British boxing history.

BRAVE Dave McAuley of Belfast dug deep into
ample reserves of courage and determination to
recover from two knockdowns and a drubbing in the
early and middle rounds to stop Bobby McDermott
in the 10th and last round of their British flyweight
title eliminator on the McGuigan-Pedroza bill,

BRISTOL'S battling Nick Wilshire finally became a champion
as he took the Commonwealth light-middleweight
title from holder Ken Salisbury in two violent rounds at
the Albert Hall.
Referee Larry O'Connell stopped the fight in the
interval between the second and third rounds because
Salisbury's right eyelid was too badly cut for him to
continue.

THERE'S another name to add to the list of brothers who
have won British titles. Croydon's Duke McKenzie,
watched from ringside by his brother Clinton, the former
light-welterweight champion, took the vacant British
flyweight title with an easy fourth-round stoppage of
Edinburgh's Danny Flynn at the Albert Hall
