Hi Stuart, I notice you've got quite a lot of great info from old boxing's (pre-runner to the boxing news). Out of interest, how many do you have and what dates do they cover?

Alex.

Sorry, I don't mean to be pedantic - but the incident above happened in the interval between rounds 4 and 5, NOT during the 4th round.

My apologies, bit of confusion on my clipping i will alter it shortly.

Yes it was during the interval it reads with 10 seconds of time being called, i took this as the end of the round rather than the begining of the next round

Where did you read about the incident ?

I had stoppage in the fifth too, was just about to look it up, so thanks

Kev

I have the issue of "Boxing" mentioned above. Your summary didn't quite read right so I looked it up.

I only have the insides of it I bought it with a different cover attatched.

Can you tell me who's on the front cover and if there's anything on the back of any importance ?

Nice picture of Eddie McGoorty adopting a stance on the cover. Inside cover has a bunch of adverts.

Back page has an advert. Inside back page has Scottish and Irish fight news, answers to correspondents and a list of Challenges.
