UNBEATEN lightweight contender Tony Willis
looked cool and methodical in stopping Chilean
import Carlos Amaya in the seventh of their
scheduled 10-rounder.
Southpaw Willis gave a good London showing
and would be a welcome sight on promoter Frank
Warren's shows. He was always collected, even
under attack, and placed classy blows with both
hands from his portsider stance.

SOUTHERN Area light-middleweight champion Jimmy
Cable (Orpington, list 31bs), who challenges the winner of
the Jimmy Batten-Prince Rodney British title fight on December
6, successfully warmed up by beating Austrian Ferdinand
Pachler at the Alan Minter Sporting Club, Europa
Hotel, Pachler retiring in the fifth of a scheduled eight.
But the fight ended dramatically. Cable, towering over his
opponent, used his height and speed to notch up a comfortable
lead.

A FASCINATING showdown unfolds at Alexandra
Pavilion on Wednesday when Roy Gumbs defends
his British and Commonwealth middleweight titles
against unbeaten Mark Kaylor on Frank Warren's
promotion.
It is a genuinely even fight and it would be a brave
or rash man who would predict the outcome with any
certainty. Deep down, neither the men around
Gumbs nor Kaylor can be wholly confident about
their fighter's chances. Such is the nature of the game,
however, that the last thing either camp would admit
is any degree of apprehension about the result.

JAMES KINCHEN seems to be a world class fighter - at least, the WBA
and the WBC think so as they list him at No 5 and No 6 in their respective
middleweight ratings. However, judging by the quality of his recent opposition,
his management is not so sure.
On July 16 in Dallas, Kinchen was matched with Jose Mireles and scored
a knockout in just 44 seconds. That may sound impressive, but to put it into
context, Mireles was stopped in two rounds over here by Nick Wilshire.
On the same Dallas show, a Juan Diaz was knocked out in the fifth round
of a middleweight bout by Norris McKinney, and took such a bad beating
that he was given a 90 day suspension.

MAYBE it's a mismatch, but no blame attaches to Larry Holmes as he makes the 16th
defence of his World Boxing Council heavyweight title against Scott Frank at Atlantic City
tomorrow (Saturday, September 10).
Holmes, who will be 34 in November, is picking up a million dollar purse in the first of a
three-fight schedule.
He meets Marvis Frazier on November 25 and then defends against the official No. 1
challenger, Greg Page, early next year (assuming he doesn't get upset by Marvis).
Holmes will thus end his career knowing he has given all-comers a crack at the title.
He's a fighting champ on the lines of Louis and Ali.
Frank, a 25-year-old, unbeaten white bruiser, is world-ranked by the WBC. Some have
expressed outrage over the scheduled 12-rounder, which takes place at Harrah's casino hotel
and will be televised live by the NBC network.
