Boxing News1972 Memorabilia

BLONDE Pam Von Hatten has found an ideal solution for spending evenings with hubby Tommy Von Hatten,
a Texas welterweight while he trains for fights. She acts as a corner helper. And she also seconds him in actual
contests. As you might imagine, pretty Pam and her hot pants cause quite a stir. Indeed, she sometimes distracts
from the action in the ring. But what a lovely distraction!

JACKIE TURPIN'S credibility gap widened still
further when the Leamington welter was soundly
outpointed by Spaniard Antonio Torres over ten
often-sensational rounds at the Civic Hall.

BUNNY STERLING faces a tough Commonwealth middleweight title defence
against Aussie champ Tony Mundine at Brisbane tonight (Friday).
Sterling one-time Jamaican law student f rom North London, is admittedly tight at the
middleweight limit. And he faces a dangerous puncher in aborigine Mundine, Australia's
fighter of the year for 1971.

CLEAR the decks for action when Scot Evan Armstrong defends his British
featherweight title against Howard Hayes at Nottingham Ice Stadium on
Tuesday. It figures to be an uncompromising battle between rivals who
possess fierce pride.
Armstrong, aged 29, has experience, while 22-year-old Hayes will trade on youth.

BELGRAVE heavyweight Tim Wood covered himself in glory with a tremendous
fightback to edge a well deserved majority decision over rugged
Eddie Neilson (Swindon), in the Midland Counties-Western Counties ABA
quarter-final at the Police Assembly, Hall.
The bruising, all-action punch-up was the highlight of an evening's
splendid boxing, and set the seal on a convincing 7-4 victory for the Midlands.
