MEXICAN fight fans were faced with a pretty difficult

decision when it came to picking the fighter of the year for

1974. Napoles looked a good bet with his wins over Lewis

and Saldano, Olivares had staged a remarkable comeback

to take the WBA featherweight crown, and Rodolfo

Martinez had finally won the bantamweight title

MANCHESTER'S PHIL MARTIN (12-6) won the vacant

Central Area light-heavyweight title when he easily

outpointed old rival PAT THOMPSON, of Liverpool (12-7)

over 10 rounds at the Rugby League Club

PERENNIAL lightweight rivals GEORGE McGURK

(Jarrow) and NOEL McIVOR (Luton) fought a spirited

draw in a lively eight-rounder at the Bedfordshire Sporting

Club.

MUNDINE'S peak performance was his 12-round

points win over former world king Emile Griffith in

Paris in 1973

WBA light-heavyweight champion Victor Galindez

will defend his title against Ray Elson of America on

the Muhammad Ali v Ron Lyle bill in Las Vegas next

Friday, promoter Don King announced this week.

Fans who went to Wembley expecting to be served a

crash, bang, wallop final by Scottish international Cy

Harrison and England's Robbie Davies obviously left

feeling disappointed that the clash did not live up to

expectations

ENGLAND'S selectors could find themselves in an

embarrassing position if newly crowned ABA lightweight

champion PAT COWDELL (Warley) withdraws from the

European championship side

ABA CHAMPION STEWART OGILVIE, from Dundee, suffered a sensational defeat by

16-year-old Sparta boxer I AN McLEOD at a Grangemouth club dinner show
