IF there ' s any justice — and in boxing that is often a big if— British
lightweight champion George Feeney will not have to wait long for a
second chance to win the European title.
His first attempt ended in unanimous points defeat by German
holder Rene Weller in a midnight challenge at Frankfurt ' s Festhdle, but
Weller finished cut, battered, and exhausted. As with Clinton
McKenzie's British light-welterweight title loss recently against Terry
Marsh, Feeney was beaten not so much by the opponent as by the
reduction in championship distance f r om 15 rounds to 12.

BALHAM light-heavyweight Trevor
Cattouse never looked likely to complete
the scheduled eight rounds
against Berlin's Ralf Rocchigiani, who
beat him on a count-out in the third.
Cattouse had got up from his second
knockdown in the round, but the
referee counted him out on his feet.

DENIED a Central Area eliminating contest when his
originally scheduled opponent Ian Murray withdrew with
a chest infection, Leeds' Michael Marsden gave vent to
some of his f r u s t r a t i o n on substitute Jimmy Bott from
Liverpool.

HEFFIELD'S Herol "Bomber" Graham is quickly back
in the limelight following his good win over American
Irwin Hines at Wembley last month when he meets
dangerous Belgian Jose Seys over 10 rounds at the Albert
Hall on Tuesday.

IT IS truly amazing how the Japanese welterweight
champion Junya Kushikino has turned his career around.
A couple of years back he was a second-rate fighter with
13 wins and 13 losses, going nowhere and already a
veteran.

HAROLD PETTY, normally proficient, seemed utterly
perplexed by fast-stepping Greg Richardson.
The result was that Petty lost his NABF bantam title and
any hopes of a world title bout.
Richardson calls himself "The Flea" and he certainly
got the jump on Petty to win a unanimous and lopsided
decision over 12 rounds.

THE way Donald Curry cut down Nino La Rocca in Monte
Carlo confirms the soft-spoken young Texan as a special
type of fighter.
His coolness and ringcraft are like those of a veteran.
But he was having only his 20th fight, admittedly after a
long amateur career. Some feels we could be entering a
"Curry era."
