AT HARRINGAY

There was a boxing sensation at Harringay Arena on November 15 when Yolande Pompee of Trinidad (right) defeated the Empire Middleweight Cham pion, Dave Sunds of Austrália, by a technical knockout in the seventh round,

Pompee weathered heavy punishment in the fifth round to make an electrify- ing recovery to smash his way through Sands' defence and open an ugly cut on the Champlon's eye.
