Paris, Nov. 20,

Joe "Rafiu" King, of Nigeria, ranked as the world No. 2 featherweight, scored a 10- round points win tonight over Angel Robinson Garcia of Havana before a capacity crowd in the Palais Des Sports, Although the decision on the action-packed main event was whistled and booed, there seemed to be no disagreement at the ringside that the little Nigerian had clearly dominated the fight throughout.
