CABLE MARCHES ON

THE ABA TRAIL TO WEMBLEY

Stunner for Beckles

BRITISH lightweight champion Ray Cattouse, a good but
unfashionable fighter, has the chance to get into bigger
league and better paydays when he travels to Italy to challenge
Joey Gibilisco for the European title on Thursday.

SUGAR RAY LEONARD did the expected, hammering
ZZ challenger Bruce Finch into defeat in the third round at the
Centennial Coliseum to retain his undisputed world welterweight
title, and says he wants to defend his championship
 three more times before the end of the year.
Finch, the NABF champion and ranked no. 3 contender
by the WBC, simply proved no match for Sugar Ray. He
 was down twice in the second round and was floored again in
the third.

ALEXIS ARGUELLO of Nicaragua stalked hometown favourite James "Bubba"
Busceme for five rounds and caught up with him in the sixth round to pound the
southpaw challenger into defeat and make his third successful defence of his WBC
lightweight title.

TONY SIBSON, arguably the biggest hitting British middleweight
since the war, is one fight away from a crack at Marvin Hagler's
world title.
The man who stands between Sibson and his championship
dreams is Dwight Davison, a beanpole black fighter from Detroit.
Sibson and Davison head the bill in a 12-round World Boxing
Council final eliminator at Birmingham's National Exhibition
Centre on Sunday in a promotion run jointly by Mike Barrett,
Mickey Duff and Don King.

KEN BUCHANAN is back in Edinburgh after a holiday
break in Spain. The fighting days are over for the old
champion, one of the best ever to come out of Scotland.
Now the one-time world lightweight king must tackle the
second half of his life. You can rest assured he won't be lost
to boxing.
