There was no disgrace in Cable losing to Drayton. Buster went on to win the IBF light middleweight title.

I think it was Frank Fletcher who was down to face Kaylor originally. He features on the poster for the fight. Maybe there was more than the one change of opponent for Kaylor though.

You are absolutely right. Frank "The Animal" was the original opponent for Kaylor, then "Hard Rock" Green and finally that man Drayton.
Kaylor was destined for a rough night.

In 1984 Frank Fletcher was on the way down, I'd of said Kaylor would of won by Knockout , James Green was a hard test and depending on which version turned up would of been a tough night for Kaylor. And as proved Drayton was proof of fitness over style, just to tough and wild. I always liked Drayton and glad to see he's doing well for himself after boxing.

He became a police officer. Incidentally, Bobby "Boogaloo" Watts was in Buster's corner when he stopped Kaylor in 1984 - the same Watts stopped by Kaylor a year earlier. If you like a spot of 'afters', check out Watts's reaction when he gets stopped. It's on youtube.

Lovely obituary from Bunce in BN.
I’d never heard of Cable - before my time - but what a career. And what a life !
Bunce obviously hero-worshipped him - Someone should frame it and give to his family.
Wonderful piece of writing.

Yeah I don’t think Duff and co realised what a world-class puncher Drayton was - when he coldcocked Jimmy they must’ve just assumed Jimmy’s chin wasn’t that great, or he just got caught cold.
Yeah think Mark would’ve beaten the shop worn Frank the animal Fletcher, who didn’t have a big punch on him.
And having both his main men lose on the same night ( Bruno as well ) caused a crestfallen Terry Lawless to retire for about a week, until Frank talked him out of it

The first Boxing News 
I bought had Jimmy Cable on the front page celebrating his light-
middle weight European title victory in France.
Sad to hear of his death. R.I.P

Good Obit by Buncey
I drove past that World of leather showroom on the A20 roundabout a thousand times and never knew a boxing outfit was based there ! Suppose it made sense with the Yorkshire Grey being only 2 minutes away to stage boxing shows.
Thank God Jimmy got paid for his European title triumph...eventually. I can only imagine how he must have felt when his cheque bounced after going through hell & high water to win the title in France.

I went to school and was in the same class as Jimmy everyone!! Say's what a gentleman he was a bully because I was British Judo champion Jimmy made it his life to pick on me I never lost to him but I never won!!
So when people say what a lovely bloke he was asking the people who grew up with him.
Rest in peace Jimmy and put them demons to sleep.
