SCOTLAND'S Ken Buchanan defends his European
lightweight title against Italian Giancarlo Usai in Cagliari
on July 25, in what could be Ken's last appearance in the
ring, writes SIMON EUAN-SMITH
T O M M Y DUNN, still Southern Area lightweight champion after seven bloody
and frequently exciting rounds against Noel Mclvor at the World Sporting Club,
wants revenge over Jarrow's George McGurk before planning anything more
ambitious.
TENERIFE: Pat McCormack, the former British
light-welterweight champion, meets Spanish champion Jesus
Rodriguez dela Rosa over eight rounds on August 2.
Dela Rosa has a reputation as a banger. He has stopped six
of his last seven opponents, and has not been beaten since
October 1973, when he was knocked out in two rounds by
Fernando Sanchez.
It will be Pat's fourth contest since dropping his British title
to Joey Singleton last November. McCormack bitterly
disputed that points loss, and is determined to keep in action
until he gets the chance for revenge over Singleton.
This year Pat lost on a cut eye to Tony Petronelli in Boston,
in a fight described by local reporters as the best seen in
Boston for over 20 years, and dropped a points verdict to
South African Gert Craemer, who has been campaigning at
light-middleweight.
However, last month McCormack turned in his best
performance for a long time when he impressively knocked
out Gielie Buitendag, the former South African welterweight
champion, in four rounds.
Pat has been a fine ambassador for British boxing, and his
exciting brand of aggression has earned him a host of fans in
many countries.
For years he was forced to fight abroad because there was
no 10-stone division in Britain. Now there is,and McCormack
aims to be champion again.
