Following on from ANGLO's POSTERFEST Theme!-Here's a Different Aspect to R. and G.'s
Excellent Promotional Skills!-MOUNTEVANS TITLE Matches under their Banner!
In the 1960's much more Importance was Attached by the Promoters to BRITISH/EUROPEAN
Championship Contests than in the Following Decade!!
Here's a Little Snapshot 'Cameo' of a Trio of such Bouts-Spotlighting just HOW RELWYSKOW/
GREEN 'Showcased' and Promoted them!
Starting with ALAN COLBECK-Long-Time EUROPEAN WELTERWEIGHT King Defending his
Title against JON CORTEZ over a Possible 15 Rounds at MADELEY STREET BATHS in HULL!!
I Find it rather Unusual to see The 'Challenger' Billed Foremost!
I will end this Mini-Cameo with somewhat of a MYSTERY!.....See Below!!
MAIN MASK
Next we have a bit of a 'Conundrum'- JIM BREAKS-Marked as 'Holder' against
MICK MCMICHAEL for The EUROPEAN Title!!-But we don't have Specified at
WHICH Weight??-Other 'Detail' given-'Promoters Purse'-£100 a side 'Extra'
Prize up for grabs! But NO WEIGHT Stipulated!!
Now if it was at WELTERWEIGHT-I which MCMICHAEL was SURELY NO LESS
than?-I don't know that BREAKS ever Won this Belt from ALAN COLBECK??
If it was LIGHTWEIGHT-which we KNOW BREAKS Officially Held!-I just can't
see HOW MICK could have made that Weight Limit??
So some 'Confusion' Surrounding this One!!
Another 'Little Gem' here...CATWEAZLE COOPER-Half and Half!!
