INCONCLUSIVE WIN FOR TILLMAN
PROFILE ON ALL THE ABA FINALISTS
PAUL HODKINSON made a successful first defence of his WBC
featherweight title with a crushingly easy third-round stoppage
of former WBA title holder Steve Cruz at the compact
Maysfield Leisure Centre.
Cruz had been exhumed - the word is surely not too strong
for a man recently retired who has suffered alcohol problems
- for this challenge on the strength of that ever-flexible friend,
the WBC rulebook.

CRAWFORD ASHLEY of Leeds made a Lonsdale Belt his
own and avenged an early-career defeat when he
stopped Brockley's Glazz Campbell in eight rounds of
a British light-heavyweight title defence on the undercard.

THE smart move for new British super-featherweight
champion Michael Armstrong would be to relinquish
his title now, before he becomes the 14th victim of the
most astonishing jinx in modern boxing history. Armstrong's
seventh-round battering of Bradford's brave
John Doherty on the Eubank undercard meant that
Doherty's name now appears three times on the long
list of champions at this weight who have lost the title
in their first defence.

IT WOULD be harsh to criticise former world welterweight
champion Lloyd Honeyghan too heavily after
clearly outpointing Mexican Alfredo Ramirez on the
Bruno-Ribalta undercard. Three months ago, Ramirez
went the distance with IBF light-middleweight champion
Gianfranco Rosi.

HAMPERED by eye cuts and thwarted by clever boxing, Dublin-based
Irishman Steve Collins failed in his second attempt to capture a
"world" title, losing a 12-round majority decision to American
southpaw Reggie Johnson for the vacant WBA middleweight belt.
The title at stake was one of the more specious among the numerous
papier-mache crowns currently masquerading as "world" championships.
The belt became vacant when the WBA stripped Mike
McCallum for fighting James Toney instead of mandatory challenger
Collins, whom McCallum had already comprehensively decisioned in
1990. At the time,

THERE is a saying that bad things come in threes. In the
past few weeks, the Madison Square Garden Boxing
Department saw two of its biggest stars suffer shock
defeats. First there was Ricardo Cepeda getting knocked
out in three rounds by Jose Vidal. Then Regelio Tuur
was outpointed by Calvin Grove.

IT IS amateur boxing's night of the year when the George Wimpey
ABA finals are held at the Royal Albert Hall on Wednesday (May 6).
It will be championship event 104 since it all started in 1881, and
there will be the usual quota of red hot favourites — if there is such
a thing in boxing — and other contests where "you pays your
money and takes your choice".
