RAY CATTOUSE faces a daunting first defence of hts British
lightweight title when he meets official challenger Dave McCabe at
St. Andrew's Sporting Club, Glasgow on Monday.
It's an intriguing, evenly balanced return, following Ray's cuts
victory over the slick Scottish southpaw in a battle for the vacant
crown.

IT WAS the blow after the blow, as it were, that finished off
Ronnie Rathbone, the Yorkshire welterweight the other
day. It was at a show in Pudsey, a place I always linked with
Len Hutton.
A left hook to the body wrecked Rathbone's chances after
one and a half minutes of the first round.
It was delivered by debutant Alan Mann, the kiltie clouter from
Lochabar.

DAVE SMITH, Southern
Area bantamweight champion,
is the odd one out in
his family. He was born in
the south of England and is
the only Smith who doesn't
speak with a Glasgow accent.

MATTHEW SAAD MUHAMMAD, World Boxing Council
light-heavy champ, say he's ready to retire in the next
year.
The target that keeps him going, he says, is the lure of a
fight for really big money against Eddie Mustafa Muhammad,
his Islamic rival, to unify the championship.
Mustafa, of course, holds the World Boxing Association title.

PANAMA already has two good world champions in Hilario
Zapata and Eusebio Pedroza, and my friend Luis Spada
believes that he has their next world champion in Jorge
Alvarado.
Spada's plans almost came unstuck when Julio Cesar
Pinillo had Jorge down and nearly out in the second round.
However, the hard punching junior-lightweight floored
Pinillo with a vicious right in round three and forced referee
Carlos Berrocal to stop the fight.

THE Royal Navy's boxing squad added the most glorious
chapter to their four-year success story by walking away
with an astonishing nine-title haul at t h e Combined Services
Individual Championships at the Nelson Barracks Gymnasium,
