HEAVYWEIGHT prospect Herbie Hide goes for his first
title in front of his home town fans when he meets
Canadian Conroy Nelson for the vacant WBC International
crown at Norwich Sports Village on Tuesday
(January 21).
The fight is more a showcase for Hide's burgeoning
talent than a meaningful championship contest, for
Nelson is no more than a journeyman.

FORMER football player WEST TURNER continued
his victorious way with a fourth round kayo of
poor JOE ADAMS in Coraopolis on November 27.
The 27-year-old weighed 17st 21bs for this one, his
12th win. This was a poor show with six fights
scheduled which produced less than 20 rounds
and four fighters from the infamous Cincinnati
body shop all falling over quickly.

THE COLD hard statistics show 1991 as the second
worse year in Australian boxing so far as promotions
were concerned despite the year finishing with a
flourish. There were 18 promotions between November
1 and December 13 to give us 64 promotions for the
year, seven fewer than in 1990, but with 223 Australian
based boxers, this was an increase of 12 on the
previous year.

IRAN BARKLEY was abusing his body through alcohol.
He had problems with his left eye, problems getting
down to the 12st super-middleweight limit. Barkley was
a shot fighter with little chance of winning.
Those were some of the things being said about
Barkley before his match with IBF super-middleweight
champion Darrin Van Horn. What people forgot to say
was that Barkley is a warrior.

IT'S HARD get matches when you're a flyweight, and it becomes
even harder when you reach the ABA final and lose only on a close
.decision against a hot favourite. But that's the situation Michael
Horobin of St Pancras finds himself in following his loss at the
Albert Hall last May to Paul Ingle.
The 24-year-old Horobin has not boxed since then, with at least
two notable bouts falling through. First Rowan Williams pulled out
f of a match, then Sweden were unable to find a suitable opponent
for the Stockholm international last month.
