ON A Felt Forum card honouring the memory of the great
Joe Louis, the heavyweights in a co-feature bout did
nothing to glamorise the occasion by their performances.
The Brown Bomber probably never batted an eyelash as
Larry Alexander, a Memphis journeyman, lived up to his
reputation as a dangerous puncher when he come from
behind in the scoring to wreck Mike "The Giant" White in
the ninth round with only a second remaining.

THOSE WHO would seek to ban boxing might amend
their views if they called on Eugene Henderson at his home
in Edinburgh. There, amid a spread of trophies for
amateur boxing and golf, they will find Scotland's most
celebrated referee hale and hearty after 80 turbulent
years. He was 80 on May 30.

THOSE who regard Jimmy Wilde as being the
first flyweight champion of the world are
mistaken, as that distinction belongs to Sidney
Smith, of Bermondsey. One of the cleverest
of the 8st boxers this country has ever
produced, he was fast, both with his hands
and feet, and a master at avoiding punches.
Not a dangerous hitter, but a smart one; his
record of 103 bouts over 11 years shows 80 wins, but
only 10 that ended inside the scheduled distance,
while five others were drawn.
