Porter too strong for game Cantwell

TOM COLLINS made a successful first defence of
his British light-heavyweight title by crushing Trevor
Cattouse in four rounds at the Astoria Centre — and
now aims to make boxing history by winning a
Lonsdale Belt outright in record time.
Ray Clarke, the Board of Control General Secretary,
was at ringside, and manager Trevor Callinghan
said afterwards: " I hope Mr Clarke was impressed by
what he saw tonight - and I hope the Board will
nominate an official challenger quickly. T om deserves
the chance to break that record.

WHEN Vince Hawkins became British middleweight champion
in 1946, he seemed to lose the knack of stopping
opponents. This was a great pity because he might have
gone on to even greater fistic achievements. v
Prior to outpointing Ernie Roderick, more than half his unbeaten
run of 61 pro fights had ended inside the distance. Then, for some
reason, he lost his 'power' punch and was rarely able to retrieve it.
Born in the cathedral city of Salisbury in 1923, Vince always had
an inclination to pull on a pair of gloves and spar with those of his
boyhood friends who were just as keen to swap punches.

HEATH welterweight Robert Chambers, having his first
season as a senior, stopped Tony Williams, from Croeserw
in the second round on the Highfields show at the Guards
Club, Ely, Cardiff.
It was an impressive performance by Chambers, a Welsh senior
ABA semi-finalist, who picked his opponent's punches off on his
gloves and let fly with blistering counters to the head to have
Williams in trouble.

REJUVENATED Willie Booth regained his Scottish lightweight title at St. Andrew's
Sporting Club with a hard-earned points win over Edinburgh's Ian
McLeod in a tough 10-rounder for the vacant title, writes GAVIN LAFFERTY.
The title had been vacated by the recent retirement of champion Peter Harrison,
who took the title from Booth at the Club in February last year.
