	~~"Joe Bugner, just 21 and nearly 16 years Henry~~ Cooper'~~s junior, took the European,~~ British ~~and Commonwealth heavyweight titles from the old man by a tight points decision after 15 bruising rounds at Wembley Tuesday night.

Bugner probably got the decision by a furious all-out attack in the last round. He flung himself at Cooper and landed a flurry~~ of ~~lefts to the head.
