OVERSEAS ACTION
A round-up of all the overseas
fights, featuring heavyweight
prospect Hasim Rahman and
featherweight puncher Angel
Vazquez

FIGHTS TO REMEMBER: Reld-Pretorlus,
above right, and Prince-Gale, right,
were breathtaking battles and have
earned our recognition. Our look
back at 1997 starts on page 10.

A BRmSH LEGEND
Daniel Herbert pays tribute to

Bruce Woodcocl(, who died
recently at the age of 76

ADRIAN DODSON, his swoUen left eye suffered
during his WHO Ught-middleweight title
bid agiunst Ronald Wright at London Arena on

IIKE QUARTEY, the WBA welterweight champion, may be on collision
course with PERNELL WHITAKER, the former WBC champion who is
appealing against a six-month ban for a positive drug test following his
last bout in October. Their match is tentatively scheduled for April 25.

KENSINGTON OLYMPIA - JULY 12
ORAHAM turning in a vintage display at the age of 38 was a wonderful
occasion. Johnson was a hot favourite and a good puncher,
while Herol had appeared poor in his two comeback appearances,
both points wins. But Oraham made him miss, countered to perfection
and finally broke the Canadian's spirit for a fabulous victor

BELFAST-JUNE 2
A RUTHLESS display before his home crowd earned Corbett the
Commonwealth cruiserweight crown against an undefeated champion
who so desperately needed to find his best form. With Okoh
fighting for his future, Corbett walked through him in determined
fashion, recording tluree knockdowns before it was over.

Two former 'world'
champions were in
action in California as
CARLOS PALOMINO and
LONNIE SMITH scored victories.
Carlos struggled
before iialting ERIC VAZQUEZ
in eight rounds in Bakersfield
on October 26 and, at 48,
should think again before he
gets hurt.

ATLANTIC CITY - MAY 31
ON the same bill as Phillips-Tszyu, 40-year-old Ferguson, beaten in
one round by Frank Bruno in 1994, stopped the massive 18 l / 8 st
Tongan by knocking him down three times in the third and once in
the eighth. Ferguson was considered washed-up against a 84-yearold
in fine form, but proved - not for the first time - that when the
mood takes him, Jesse can still be dangerous.
