WHAT I find incredible about the WBO's action in shafting Juan Carlos
Gimenez and Michele Mastrodonato is that no one has sued them. It
can be argued that these two fighters could have earned around a
million dollars out of the title, and the WBO's action robbed them of that
opportunity. Both fighters must be paying a manager to look after their
interests, and if those guys don't sue they are taking money under false
pretences.

I CAN never quite get used to picking up the phone, and hearing a voice
at the other end say: "So-and-so has passed away." This time there were
two calls within 48 hours. The first was from LEBA chairman Micky
O'Sullivan reporting the death of former British lightweight champion
Joe Lucy. The other was from Betty Faux, secretary of the Left Hook
Club, Liverpool, with the sad news that former world flyweight champion
Peter Kane had passed away. Joe was 61. Peter was 73.

TURNING in perhaps the best performance of his
professional career, Alfred "Ice" Cole retained the
USBA cruiserweight title with an 11th round stoppage
over Nashville, Tennessee's Frankie Swindell at the
Trump Taj Mahal.

WHEN I was serving my apprenticeship as a ring
reporter on the staff of "Boxing" ( Boxing News) in the
early part of 1922, I was sent for by the Editor. John
Murray had conjured up the idea of a weekly paper
devoted solely to the sport a few months prior to the
celebrated battle for the world heavyweight title
between Tommy Burns and Jack Johnson at Sydney in
Australia, and had persuaded the Berry Brothers (an
adventurous family of Welsh publishers) to launch the
project. That was in September 1909 and Murray, an
assertive and well-versed writer, had ruled the new
paper from its first issue.

AS YOU can imagine, I have received several tributes to the late Peter
Kane and Joe Lucy. I have selected a couple which to me are
appropriate. The first is from Betty Faux, secretary of the Left Hook
Club, Liverpool, who writes: "I had the honour and privilege of
entertaining that fine gentleman Peter Kane in my home for three
hours in 1988, a feat in itself, as Peter normally kept very much to
himself. We struck up a very nice friendship, and 1 was very sad to
learn of his death.

A COMBINED England/Wales schoolboy team came out
ahead 8-7 over an American Junior Olympic squad at
the North Michigan State University, but with the
Americans claiming a walk-over the match ended
all-square. Welsh boxers scored five wins, with their
England counterparts successful in three bouts. The
match, held over two days, was screened on local
television.
