HEAVYWEIGHT champions have won their titles in
various ways.
Most times the title changes hands with the champion
knocked out or beaten into helplessness.
Cassius Clay, as he was then called, won it when Sonny
Liston quit on his stool claiming he'd hurt his shoulder so
badly he couldn't continue.

BRITISH light-welterweight champion Colin Powers hit tip-top form to pound
European title-holder Jean Baptiste Piedvache into 11th round defeat and
retirement in front of the Frenchman's own highly partisan crowd at the Palais
des Sports.

AFRICAN light-middleweight champion
Loucif Hamani turned on the style to outpoint
dangerous San Diego puncher David
Love in a 10-rounds middleweight contest
at the Palais des Sports.

SAN JUAN — June 3: Alexis
Arguello, of Nicaragua,
gave yet another display of
sensational punching power
as he r e t a i n e d his WBC
super-featherweight title by
kayoing Panama's Diego
Alcala in one minute 56
seconds of round one at the
Roberto Clemente Coliseum.

ONLY a disgraceful melee,
during which London ABA
secretary Chester Hawkes
was s t r u c k in the face
immediately following Londoner
Tony Connolly's victory
over Liverpool's Tony
Brown in the Class "B" 54
kilos category, marred a
t r e m e n d o u s J u n i o r ABA
f i n a l s night at London's
Bloomsbury Centre Hotel.
At the time of this writing,
an official enquiry is being
held into the incident.
