WHY did Sheffield become a graveyard for professional boxing in the
fifties and sixties?
That is the question that often comes up in South Yorkshire circles
today as they live in the hope of seeing Herol "Bomber" Graham make
good in his new division of middleweight.
The base was still solid enough in the shape of thriving amateur clubs
that have always given the area cause for hope.
Today there is still hope in the success of the amateur developments as
well as the revival fronted by Graham.

FORMER world light-welterweight champion Perico Fernandez of Spain
gave a performance utterly devoid of commitment or competitiveness
against Hackney's Sylvester Mittee, and was led unprotesting to his corner
by referee Mike Jacobs after one minute 50 seconds of the fifth of their
scheduled 10-rounds main event at the Bloomsbury Crest.
The fight was seen live on ITV's World of Sport, but was not much of an
advertisement for the game.

PHIL SUTCLIFFE, the baby-faced Dubliner with
the punching power that belies his appearance,
made the Olympic team almost by chance. And he
can call 13 his lucky number.
His hopes of getting to Los Angeles rested on the
casting votes of the Irish selectors because they
could not agree on whether to nominate Sutcliffe or
the man he beat to win the Irish senior bantamweight
title in March, Derry's Roy Nash, a nephew
of former world professional contender Charlie
Nash.
