Harold Mann didn’t return the call Wednesday of Kalamazoo, Mich., promoter-manager Henry Grooms, who offered Mann between $10,000 and $15,000 to fight world-ranked junior welterweight Steve Hearon of Houston. Texas, in a 10-round bout Which would have been Saturday in Atlantic City. N.J. Harold cited the extremely short notice and Laurie’s 16-week layoff since his jaw was broken in an eighth-round technical knockout to Reno’s Frankie Davis in the Nevada city, as reasons for turning it down. . “Laurie said ‘let’s do it, let’s do it,’ and we might have if Laurie’s Jaw hadn’t been broken and if he’d tad a fight recently and if he was in proper shape. If, if, if,” chuckled Harold. “Let’s put it this way, I would have considered it a lot more.” Hearon is the top-ranked junior welterweight contender in the latest World Boxing Council ratings, is Two boxing clubs accepting athletes Prince George’s two amateur boxing clubs are thinking about another season. Boys 12 and older can register in either the Spruce Capital Boxing Club at the Civic Centre basement, or the East-West Boxing Club, which has recently completed an arrangement with the YM-YWCA. The first registration session for the Spruce Films help, says Lakusta EDMONTON (CP) -Challenger Ken Lakusta hopes several nights watching films will give him the advantage needed to dethrone Trevor Berbick, Canadian and Commonwealth heavyweight boxing champion, in their 12-round title bout tonight. Lakusta, 28. said Thursday he has watched several films of Berbick “and we’ve seen some things that we’re going to be doing in there that Trevor doesn’t like.” But Lakusta, who emerged from the ranks of kick-boxing to become the top-ranked heavyweight challenger in Canada, concedes Berbick has the edge in experience. Capital Club is Monday at 6:30 p.m., when training also resumes after the annual summer shutdown of the Civic Centre. There are also registration sessions Wednesday and Thursday at the same time. Boxers can register with the YMCA East-West club anytime at the Y building on Massey Drive. The East-West club has moved into the YM-YWCA building downstairs. sixth in Ring Magazine’s rankings and seventh in KO Magazine. Hear-on’s original opponent cancelled, so Grooms sought Laurie as a replacement. Instead, Laurie (13-1 as a pro) sets his mind on a 10-round main event Sept. 21 in Reno against Jim Vozar of Las Vegas, who sports a 10-5-1 record. Vozar is the replacement for Fla-vio Pando, who dropped off the card earlier this week. Laurie leaves for Reno Thursday to get accustomed to the altitude (about 4,800 feet above sea level). Harold is planning to hold a pro card here in October with Laurie facing veteran Bruce (The .Mouse) Strauss of Omaha, Neb., in the main event. In other happenings. Prince George has two more boxers ready to make their professional debut. Sixteen-year-old George Sponagle, son of East-West Boxing Club coach Wayne Sponagle, has decided to end his amateur career (he’s 8-0) to fight next Thursday in Kamloops against Joey Todd of Kamloops in a four-round welterweight bout.
