TIM REYNOLDS ON THE LONDON AMATEUR SCENE

Joe Gutteridge handled an amazing 23,000 bouts!

CHARLIE MALARKEY'S British title aspirations ended
in gory disaster against fearsome Fen body puncher
Steve Hopkin. The Glasgow boxer, badly gashed over
both eyes, was rescued by referee James Brimmell after
two minutes 46 seconds of t h e fifth round.
The chief supporting bout, a final-eliminator for Pat
Thomas's British light-middleweight crown, had been
scheduled for twelve threes

THE White Hope tag doesn't rest comfortably with him
but that, nevertheless, is Gerry Cooney' s inevitable role
and all the more so after his smashing four-round win
over veteran Jimmy Young at Atlantic City.
. Cooney's victory confirmed his rating as the No 1
heavyweight contender as recognised by the World
Boxing Association. The World Boxing Council rates
him No 3.

LAST season Britain's best and most respected amateur
referee retired after completing a career worthy of a new
chanter in boxing's encyclopaedias.
For Dagenham's Joe G u t t e r i d g e , 67 this month,
refereed an incredible, yet only c o n s e r v a t i v e l y estimated,
23,000 bouts in his 32 active years.
The figure we arrived at when talking at the Brompton
Road ABA headquarters, where Joe has worked full
time since 1975, is taken on a minimum of 21 bouts a
week, 36 weeks a season, commencing in the immediate
post-war period.

ISLINGTON heavyweight Dennis Andries tries to put
the bitter memory of the last few months behind him
when he faces Carlton Benoit at the European Sporting
Club, Burslem on Wednesday.
Andries failed in his attempt to gain the British title when he
was outpointed by champion Bunny Johnson over 15 dismal
rounds at Burslem last February.
