The comeback try by former New England welterweight champion Ted Whitfield of Amherst has hit another roadblock: Mike Cruz. A 140-pounder from New York, Cruz withstood a closing rally Monday night to take a unanimous decision from Whitfield in the feature eight-rounder at Mechanics Hall. Whitfield had a seven-pound advantage. It was the fourth straight loss for Whitfield, who returned to the ring earlier this year after all but scrapping his once-promising career. Cruz used a relentless body attack to build up a big lead in points. There were no knockdowns, but Whitfield was hurt in the sixth and Cruz in the final round.
