FOR MOST of us, our wedding day passes in a blur of
assorted panics about mislaid rings, forgotten relatives,
disorganised seating arrangements and the
like. Not so for Belfast bantamweight Wayne McCullough:
he was so composed on the morning of his
matrimonials that he met me for breakfast, gave me
a two-hour interview, and then calmly informed me
that he would have to be going as he was getting
married that afternoon and still had one or two
things to arrange.

 

AMATEUR medals do not always translate Into big money. Timing
is one element in the equation. Jorge Luis Gonzalez left it too
late. The huge Cuban beat Teofilo Stevenson, Riddick Bowe and
Lennox Lewis, but when he turned professional at 26 he was
steeped in the three-pound theory and has not improved or
learned anything since. As a result, after 13 wins Bob Arum has
decided to drop Gonzalez as he will never make it as a pro.
German Rainer Gies was also a top amateur, but he has more
chance of adapting. On April 2, In Kaiserslautern, Gies kept his
wining run going with a pionts verdict over Russian southpaw
Oleg Chalejev to retain his German International welterweight
title.
