ARMAND KRAJNC, shock conqueror of Jason
Matthews to win the WBO middleweight title
(November 1999) and last September badly hurt
when stopped in seven by Sergey Tatevosyan,
intends to carry on.
Krajnc was so badly beaten by Tatevosyan in a
one-sided match (floored twice), he was taken to
hospital with suspected minor bleeding on the
brain and it was expected he would retire.
But Krajnc has undergone a battery of tests
which have proven negative.
He returns in a six against Portuguese
trialhorse Eliseo Nogueira on the March 1
Wladimir Klitschko-Corrie Sanders bill.
The Swede believes he was affected by a
virus and the effects of making weight the night
Tatevosyan beat him, but most accounts said he
looked finished. We shall see

MARK HAYNES, a former solid amateur out of
Maidenhead, died while out running last
weekend. Aged just 40, he was believed to have
suffered a massive heart attack.
Haynes helped out in Jim Evans' gym and had
just gained his pro trainer's licence. All at the
Evans-Robert Waterman set-up are devastated,
said man about boxing, Clive Bernath.

MARCO ANTONIO BARRERA's next defence will
be, as suspected, against veteran New York
Kevin Kelley at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas on
April 12.
The match, to be shown on pay-per-view in
America, is part of a double-header featuring
WBA featherweight champ Derrick Gainer's
defence against Oscar Leon.
I can only presume the idea is to raise interest
in a possible Barrera-Gainer clash later in the
year (both Kelley and Gainer are southpaws).
That hardly makes a fight with Kelley (beaten
by Naseem Hamed five years ago) pay-per-view
material.
I'm not overly critical of the match, however,
simply because the general public has a choice
whether to watch it. If they don't, the promoters
will be left counting the cost.
Though Kelley, 35, has won his last three at
super-feather since making a comeback, it is
not clear (because Barrera doesn't hold a title) at
what weight the match is made. From 61 fights,
Kelley has lost five and drawn two.
