WREDEN STORMS TO ANOTHER GREAT WIN
BASHER BLAKE IN DESTRUCTIVE FORM
ONCE UPON a time the North of England was a fertile
breeding ground for fighting men. Once upon a time there
were boxing halls all over the place running weekly shows
at popular prices. Once upon a time there were gymnasia
full of eager young men training to be fighters and old
fighters training to be young men again. Once upon a time
the fans rolled up every week to cheer their favourites.

PRO BOXING makes a comeback in Scotland
next Thursday after a two-year break when
promoter Peter Keenan puts on a bill at Govan
Town Hall, Glasgow with the Boxing Board's
backing.
Matchmaker A1 Phillips has lined up a wellbalanced
bill featuring a Scottish favourite
in every fight, topped by number one British
bantam challenger John Kellie (Dundee) in
against Belfast's aggressive Paddy Graham
over ten rounds at 8-8.
It will be a revenge battle, for Graham
outpointed Kellie at Belfast in 1968.
" Graham really fancies his chances," says
Phillips. " He sees this fight as a way of
jumping to the top of the British title contenders.
It is the break he has been waiting
for."
A former Irish amateur international, the
23-year-old Graham has won eight of nine
pro bouts, reversing his sole loss.
Kellie jumped into national prominence by
stopping Johnny Clark in tfcvo rounds in their
official bantam final eliminator last month. He
followed this up ky stopping French champion
Claude Lapinte in seven rounds at Bethnal
Green, Kellie's eleventh win in sixteen pro
fights (lost four, drew one).
It looks like being a good, hard bout and
Kellie, with home advantage, is fancied to
win. But he may have to battle for every
point.
Unbeaten Edinburgh lightweight Herbie
McLean, who has won all seven pro bouts,
should be too strong for Nigerian Joe Yekkin,
in an eight rounder.
Glasgow southpaw featherweight Tommy
Glencross, currently on an eight-bout winning
streak, should account for Belfast's Jim Henry
in another eight.
In other fights, Glasgow heavy Terry Feeley
takes on Newcastle southpaw Brian Jewett
rwhile Glasgow junior welter Jim Melrose
makes his pro debut against Angus McMillan,
of the Glasgow boxing family.
