IF t h e r e ' s any justice — and in boxing that is o f t e n a big if— British
lightweight champion George Feeney will not have to wait long for a
second chance to win the E u r o p e a n title.
His first attempt ended in unanimous points defeat by German
holder Rene Weller in a midnight challenge at F r a n k f u r t ' 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.
He let t h e pretty-boxing German dance his way to a sizeable points
lead, but as t h e spring left 31-year-old Weller's legs, so Feeney started
to go to work.

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.
