MICHAEL AYERS' WBO
lightweight title challenge
against ARTUR GRIGORIAN,
scheduled for Stuttgart tomorrow
(May 31), was cancelled
when the southpaw champion
withdrew because of a shoulder
injury on Wednesday
morning.
The match is expected to be
rescheduled for later in the
summer or early autumn, but
Klaus-Peter Kohl, the promoter,
scrapped the show when
the main event could not go
ahead. Unbeaten Welsh supermiddleweight
JOE CALZAGHE
was matched against Brazilian
LUCIANO TORRES in a 10-
rounder on the same bill.
WBO bantam king ROBBIE
REGAN had already pulled out
of the show for health reasons
and his mandatory defence
against JORGE JUUO in
Cardiff on June 21 is also looking
doubtful.

WAS children's TV presenter
Zoe Ball briefed beforehand
about the questions on
They Think It's All Over, the
BBC sports quiz programme, or
did she really know who
Ratanapol Dutchboygym was?
The only clue she was given was
that he was a Thai boxer.

YSTALYFERA centurion MIGUEL MATTHEWS (9st
5 3/41bs) was unluclcy not to collect a rare win
against Uverpoors off-form ALEX MOON 0st 3 3/41bs)
in a four-threes. Referee Keith Garner's 39 1/2-point
draw angered Matthews' trainer Pat Cowdell, who
remonstrated with the official, although the ever-sporting
Welshman took if with a grin.
Moon was sluggish, and had a warning about his
defensive lapses in the first when Matthews woke
him up with a right hand over the top to the cheek.
Moon picked his punches well in the second, but
again his defence was sloppy in the third, and a
right hand dropped him briefly. Referee Garner's
signal was unclear, but there was no doubt it
should have been a knockdown.
•
Moon found some quality clusters in the last,
but Matthews kept steaming in and made the
Liverpudlian's knees dip with another right,
blocked most of the shots on his gloves smd kept up
the pressure.
