Feeney on song!

SPINKS HAS STILL NOT COME UP WITH THE AHSWERS

FORMER European heavyweight champion
Lorenzo Zanon catches Ken Norton with a right

DANNY "LITTLE RED" LOPEZ, boxing's "Mr Excitement,"

Hotel last month, when England came close to achieving the first whitewash in
the series, is a matter for conjecture.
What cannot be disputed is that the public north of the border, aware of a
proud tradition that has to be maintained, are now asking: "Where have all the
Dick McTaggarts, Tom Imries and Bobby Mallons gone?

RUSSELL JONES, the Llandaff featherweight, was
voted the "Welsh Boxer of the Night" in Stavanger
when Wales lost to Norway by six bouts to four.

who packed the I Hetlandshallen sports arena
 that Wales were unlucky not to have shared the
match at least.
