PICKING the overseas fighter of the year was trickier
than usual as we got down to assessing the performances
of 1983.
None of the champions had what you would call a
perfect year. Some of the top fighters struggled or
won debatably.
Robetto Duran might have been the hero of the
year to many, but he was licked by Marvin Hagler -
and licked well, despite the closeness of the judges'
scores.

BRITISH middleweight champion Mark Kaylor
continues to learn his craft with an acceptable and
educative match against US veteran Ralph Moncrief
in the 10-round main event at the Albert Hall on
Tuesday.
The match is a chance for Kaylor to learn a few
tricks from Moncrief who has been in with class
names in his 11-year career - and is also an opportunity
for Mark to put out of his own and the fans'
minds the memory of the foul he committed on Tony
Cerda in his last fight.

THE new year gets off to what looks certain to be an
explosive start tomorrow (Saturday, January 14) when
Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini defends his World Boxing
Association lightweight title against colourful
veteran Bobby Chacon at Reno, Nevada.
It's the richest lightweight battle in history, with
Mancini guaranteed to make $2 million. And this first
big fight of 1984 could rank among the most vivid of
the next 12 months.

OUTSIDE of competing in the Olympic Games, the highlight of any British amateur's
career must be to win an ABA senior crown. Terry Barker sampled the joy of winning at
Wembley, and then disappeared into obscurity soon after.
Barker lifted the ABA light-flyweight title in 1980, beating that determined little battler
John Lyon. The pair both went on to box for Young England later that year against Young
East Germany, but it was the last the boxing public were to see of Barker, while Lyon's
dominance on the domestic scene is well chronicled.

POWERFUL Repton ABC, Bethnal Green, resume
their globe-trotting this month. They are taking a team
of eight boxers to Denmark, where they take part in a
two-match tour.
They open next Friday, January 20, at Gladsaxe,
just outside Copenhagen, with a second match in the
capital, Copenhagen, on January 22.
The Repton squad will consist of John McBride,
Tony Bowden, Steve Riley, Harry Lawson, Terry
Barker, Frank Edwards, Paul Lawson and Bobby
Parkes, all of whom have won titles at various levels
and most worn representative vests.
