T H E Olympic d r e am of British team captain John Lyon
ended in chaotic and controversial circumstances in the first
series.
Perhaps too much has been made of he administrative
muddle that delayed Lyon's bout with Ramazun Gul of
Turkey for two hours, but the decision that eliminated him

PADDINGTON's Serg Fame gained satisfying revenge
over old rival Glazz Campbell, winning a narrow 10-round
verdict to take t h e vacant Southern Area light-heavyweight
title after a thrilling battle at the Town Hall.

LOCAL heavyweight Neil Malpass won with consummate
ease but failed to impress on this inaugural Steve Keys
promotion at the Adwick Leisure Centre. Referee Micky
Vann gave Neil the nod by 60-57'/2 a f t e r a mauling six-twos,
but it is difficult to see how his opponent Paul Sheldon, f r om
Alfreton (14st 12lbs) managed to earn a share of a single
round.

BRITISH bantamweight champion Billy Hardy tunes
up for his forthcoming European title challenge with
a safe-looking 10-rounder against Mexican Jose
Gallegos at the Crowtree Leisure Centre, Sunderland,
on Thursday.

MELDRICK T A Y L O R surprised us all with his sensational
performance in stopping, and practically outclassing.
Buddy McGirt to win the IBF light-welter title at Atlantic

gold medallist and youngest of the American Los Angeles
squad has matured into professional manhood.
But the glory of his superb win in the A B C TV fight has
been somewhat diluted by McGirt's subsequent claim,
made three days later, that he was unwell going into the
fight.
