He has won 65 bouts in succession, before climaxing the comeback with this victory.Jones pulled away from Phillips in the last four rounds as the champion tired. His early work often lacked conviction, but there was little doubting he was the master overall.”Freddie had a lot to do with me coming back. I was flat broke but I didn’t really want to go back to the ring. The British judge Roy Francis made him a clear winner by 116 points to 111, while the Puerto Rican officials Nelson Vusquez and Cesar Ramos had it 113-113 and 114-113, and that after the challenger had a point deducted for a head-butt in the ninth round.A year ago Jones was out of the ring but he was persuaded to return by his trainer, Freddie King.

But Britain were on terms within three minutes as Dutch indiscipline was punished with a penalty corner and Sue Fraser crashed the ball home.Brown, who arrived back from hospital at the beginning of the day, has a fractured skull and will take no further part in the tournament.GREAT BRITAIN: J Thompson (Ipswich); S Fraser (Grove), J Atkins (Bradford Swithenbank, capt), D Renilson (Edinburgh), L Cope (Balsam Leicester); M Davies (Sutton Canada Life), P Robertson (Grove), T Miller (Clifton); M Nicholls (Slough), J Sixsmith (Sutton Canada Life), A Bennett (Slough).

A hard cross from the left by the Dutch captain, Wietske de Ruiter, was deflected high into the net by Suzan van der Wielen.Britain wrestled their way back into the game with Jane Sixsmith prominent, and equalised in the 26th minute, Rhona Simpson showing typical Scottish tenacity to score for the third successive game.The Dutch were handed the lead three minutes into the second half when a carelessly taken free hit by Renilson was punished by Jeannette Lewin.

reports from Cape TownGreat Britain 2 Netherlands 2Great Britain showed tremendous character to come from behind twice in a bruising encounter to draw with the European Champions in the Olympic qualifying tournament here yesterday, moving significantly nearer to securing their ticket to Atlanta next summer.With Diane Renilson in the central defensive position for Karen Brown, Britain were put under pressure from the first whistle and it was no surprise when the Dutch took the lead in the eighth minute. The betting, however, must be that on Sunday morning, the British branch of the Japan Cup winner’s club will still have a membership of one.n Plans by United Racecourses to develop Kempton as a floodlit, all- weather venue have been shelved because of the expense.. Now, ironically, Dr Devious is one of several stallions, imported from Europe and America at great cost, who are slowly turning Japan into one of the world’s great racing powers.Pure Grain could remind the Japanese that money does not always guarantee success on the turf. “If you’re there turning in, you’ve got plenty of straight and plenty of room,” Brittain said. “It’s a bit uphill to the finish and a horse can really dig in.”With John Reid holding Pure Grain’s reins, there will be no shortage of encouragement or experience from above Reid partnered Dr Devious, who finished unplaced, in 1992. The ground in Tokyo, which is rarely anything but firm, is also likely to be against her.Yet she is nothing if not a battler, and Fuchu’s broad bends and long home run should suit her galloping style.

Success in the Musidora Stakes in May was followed by four successive outings in Group One company, most recently in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, in which she finished fifth. She will need it.”We made her exercise on grass so she can get used to the Japanese turf,” the spokesman said. “She will have a lighter training programme here than in Britain to take into account the travelling. But she will have a hard work-out on Friday.”Pure Grain has run just five times this year, but still cannot be said to have had a light season. Nonetheless, Pure Grain has now arrived at Fuchu racecourse in Tokyo and, a spokesman for her yard reported yesterday, regained the weight she lost in transit.
