LUTON'S Billy Schwer produced the most
complete performance of his 10-fight professional
career to pick apart Barnsley southpaw Chris
Saunders in the third of an eight threes chief
support.
Saunders, stopped prematurely by Schwer in the
first round at the Albert Hall in April because of a
cut, was coming off a sixth-round upset victory over
previously unbeaten Mark Tibbs only 24 days
earlier.

FORMER WBA bantamweight champion Julian Solis, now
fighting as a super-featherweight, scored a tainted thirdround
knockout over late sub Jeff Roberts in a scheduled
10-rounder at the Blue Horizon.
This was one of the those bouts that seemed doomed
from inception. Originally, promoter Jack Arias announced
that Solis would face Philly's Bennie Amparo. But
apparently, Amparo never signed a contract. Next, Curtis
Mathis, a local preliminary fighter with a 3-6 record, was
awarded the slot.

JAMES TONEY'S reign as IBF world middleweight
champion looked like being one of the shortest ever as
he struggled to get to grips with slippery southpaw
challenger Reggie Johnson over 12 absorbing rounds
at the Las Vegas Hilton.
The judges came to the new champ's rescue with a
controversial split decision that was loudly booed by a
pro-Johnson crowd of 4,555 and left the challenger flat
on his back on the canvas in disbelief.

I REGRET to report the death of Les Johnson, former fly-cumbantamweight
and former committee-member of the London Ex-boxers'
Association. He was 79, and passed away at his daughter's home in East
Lothian, Scotland.
Les was billed from Finsbury Park, but was born in Hoxton on Boxing
Day 1911. His real surname was Spence, but as he once told me: "Spence
didn't sound much of a fighting name, so 1 changed it to Johnson when I
became a professional." He was also a cousin of former champions Dick
and Harry Corbett.

TWO emphatic wins for the host gym ensured that Maimesbury ABC's final dinner
show of the season, at Goldiggers Night Club, ended on a high note.
Adam Crook continually pressured John Dunn (Bronx), landing well-placed
combinations to take the first two rounds and claim a unanimous points victory at
light-heavyweight.
