"At least we can be optimistic
that he may make a fidl
recovery," said Moorcroft. "But
we're not kidding ourselves.

extremely ill.
"But you can imagine the
tension in the room when he
opened his eyes for the first

say he's scanni of me and that I'll knock him out. but

Hungarian .\ndras Galfl in June and Brown b> Frenchman
Hassine Cherifi in a European title thriller in
April, so anything can happen. It's one of those fights.

SVEN HAMER stunned WILLIE
"THE MIGHTY" QUINN and
his fanatical legion of supporters
with a comprehensive first-round
demolition in a British supermiddleweight
title eliminator at
Brunton Hsdl.
The contest opened quietly, with
both fighters exchanging jabs,
looking for openings. Quinn, from
Tranent, landed a lazy left lead,
but was then sent crashing to the
floor by a powerful right over the
top.
