TERRIBLE TIM GETS A SHOCK:
 
Yanks wreck it for Barrett and Angol
 
Bodell thrashed Bugner  and never won again
 
Roderick went 15 with a legend
 
Ingle does the double over Baba
 
Hearn loses purse bid  home boost for Galvano
 
IT was double disaster for British hopes Pat Barrett
and Derek Angol as their WBO title attempts failed
at the G-Mex, Manchester. Barrett lost on points to
Manning "Spoiler" Galloway and Angol was knocked
out by Tyrone Booze. Reports pages 2-5.
 
FEW heavyweight bouts staged in Britain can have
produced a bigger upset than Jack Bodell's dethronement
of European, Commonwealth and British champion
Joe Bugner on September 27 1971.
Buigner had won all three titles by narrowly outscoring
Henry Cooper in the same Wembley ring, just six
months earlier. He had defended the European crown
once, scraping home against Germany's Jurgen Blin,
and now he was ready to accommodate ex-British
champion Bodell, the official contender for the national
title.
 
WBO SUPER-middleweight champion Chris Eubank
better be ready for the fight of his life on September
19. Challenger Tony Thornton is a ruthless, allbusiness
sort, the kind of fighter who pushes every
adversary to his limit. Win or lose, there's no way
Eubank will be able to get away with one of his
nonchalant performances.
 
SOME BOXING documentaries on TV are good, many not so good. But
there is one coming up which I am assured is among the best and most
interesting of recent times. Ron Peck rang me with a few details. It will
be shown on September 3, Channel 4, from 10 pm until nearly midnight,
and is entitled simply "Fighters". Ron wrote and directed it, the film
was produced by Mark Ayres, and is a Team Pictures Ltd production.
Several current boxers are involved, also ex-fighters, and here is a
list in alphabetical order - Terry Dixon, Jimmy Flint, Dean Hollington,
Mark Kaylor, Jimmy Peters, Jason Rowlands, Roy Rowlands, Bradley
Stone, Jimmy Tibbs, Mark Tibbs.
 
MR COURAGE! That's Hawick's former ABA
heavyweight champion and 1986 Commonwealth
Games silver medallist DOUGLAS
YOUNG (pictured above), whose promising
career as a pro was ruined in November 1987
when a sun-blinded bus driver knocked Borders
road department worker Young over, shattering
his right leg s o badly that the Hawick man had
to have at least a dozen surgical operations to
rebuild it.
