Loughran's moment of madness
Piper books his ticket to Vegas
Gritty Strudwick holds off Forbes
Hood steps out of his depth
Hitman Hearns can settle the score
FORMER British and Commonwealth light-welter champion
Tony Ekubia broke the heart of British welterweight title
prospect Eamonn Loughran, with the Irishman disqualified in
the fifth round of their title eliminator for a headbutt, delivered
out of sheer frustration.
Loughran (lOst 6'/2lbs) had thrown all he had at the iron-jawed Ekubia,
but he would not go down and Loughran it was who had to pick himself
off the canvas in the fourth round before coming out in the fifth only to
deliver the foolish blow with the head, forcing referee Paul Thomas to
instantly disqualify him.

LOCAL favourite Nicky Piper is off to the United States
following his latest success — a ten-round points decision
over experienced American Ron Amundsen. The 1989
ABA light heavyweight champion, now campaigning as a
super middleweight, outscored Amundsen 99-97 in an
interesting and entertaining clash at the Star Leisure
Centre, Splott.

BRITISH and Commonwealth featherweight champion
Colin McMillan marks time with a routine ten-rounder
against Louisiana banger Steve Thibodeaux at
Dagenham Leisure Centre on Wednesday.
Pre-fight publicity has been concentrated as much on
a possible WBO title shot against Italy's Maurizio Stecca
as on this contest. That says enough about the
expectations concerning Thibodeaux.

FOR one brief moment in the third round, Scotland's
Donnie Hood threatened to win the vacant European
bantamweight title. The rest of the fight belonged to
hometowner Johnny Bredahl, who boxed brilliantly to
pound Hood into submission in the seventh round.
It was not only a night of triumph for Johnny, but for
the Bredahl family: older brother Jimmi, who captured
the vacant European super-featherweight crown a week
earlier, jumped into the ring to celebrate the family
double before the fight was officially over.

LEBA MEMBER Solly Cantor has received a letter from his old friend Jackie Duggan,
senior vice-president of the Canadian Hall of Fame, inviting him to be honoured at
their Annual Dinner and Awards Night at the Howard Johnson Hotel, Toronto on
October 17. Solly sent me a copy of the invitation letter and added: "I have decided
to accept. Don Mogard also received an invitation, and I think he will be going, too.
Well done, Solly. An honour you thoroughly deserve, and it will give you a chance to
visit the family. Both Solly and Don were inducted in the Canadian Hall of Fame
some time ago.
