THE gulf between professional craftsman and world
contender proved too wide for Slough stylist Clyde
Ruan, whose bid for the British and European featherweight
titles ended in predictable fourth-round knockout
defeat at the Ulster Hall.
Dual champion Barry McGuigan, making his first
joint defence of his titles, swept Ruan's challenge aside
with an ease which did poor justice to Ruan's considerable
skills.

looked impressively crisp in his pro start at Houston, Texas
on December 7 — especially as he'd only recently recovered
from a bout of chicken pox.
Tate, 20, said he still felt a bit weak and was over his desired
weight going into the scheduled six-rounder with Pittsburgh's
MIKE PUCCIARELLI.

ANOTHER year has gone and a new one dawns. For me
Thomas Hearns just edged Marvin Hagler as Fighter Of The
Year, and his total destruction of an admittedly fading Roberto
Duran was the most impressive performance. I would place Don
Curry as a close third.
I was glad to see both Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard retire

do the same.

GERRIE  COETZEE was acting when he was dropped by a late
punch f r om G r e g Page after the bell had ended round six of their
WBA heavyweight title fight at Sun City.
That was the reason o f f e r e d by r e f e r e e Isidro Rodriguez for not
allowing the defending champion a five-minute break under the
no-foul rule when Page threw several powerful punches at
Coetzee's head a f t e r t h e bell.

THE DATE was December 12, 1932, the venue St. James Hall, Newcastle.
After 15 hectic rounds Len Harvey dropped his gloves wearily and said to his
trainer Wally May: "I've fought a few hundred rounds in my life, but I hope I
never have a contest as tough as that again. The man's a freak."
The man to whom he was referring was Jack Casey, otherwise known as the
Sunderland Assassin or Cast-Iron Casey. And it was the loser who got the most
applause in that epic contest for Len's British middleweight title.
