MAGICAL MINTER ON TOP OF THE WORLD AT LAST

MALARKEY STAYS ON COURSE

THE world middleweight title belongs at last to Britain's
Alan Minter and the disappointment and heartbreak
he has endured over the long years of waiting
make his triumph all the sweeter.
He has probably been the best at his weight in the world for
the last two years, but after his magnificent points win over
defending champion Vito Antuofermo at Caesars Palace
Sports Pavilion, it's official.

J IM WATT, Scotland's favourite sporting son, unleashed the most
devastating form of his fairy tale career to hammer Derry's Charlie
Nash into dramatic fourth round defeat.
But the 31-year-old WBC lightweight champion was forced to
climb off the canvas before capturing victory with an awesome
display of cold, controlled aggression.

GLASGOW'S Charlie Malarkey battled through to a
final eliminator for Pat Thomas's British lightmiddleweight
title with an emphatic decision over
fancied Prince Rodney of Huddesrfield.

THE amateur boxing world has been stunned by the
news of the loss in last Friday's (March 14) Warsaw air
disaster of an entire 22 strong United States team.
The squad — 14 boxers and eight officials — died in
boxing's worst tragedy when Polish Airways flight 007
from New York crashed approaching Warsaw airport at
11.15 am local time.
