Devane will wear the orange and white trunks of Clemson while Hagood will don the garnet and white of the Gamecocks. Both boxers will go into seclu- sion immediately for the bout. Hagood will train in Camden, S.C., which has produced some of the country’s most outstan- ding boxers. Devane will train and devise his game plan for the Carolinas’ most historic boxing event near the Clemson campus. Both gladiators will train under professional supervision. A major problem for the box- ers has been securing sparring partners for “The Earthquake.” Any person. over 270 pounds 14. who wishes to fill those roles is asked to contact the Charlotte Motor Speedway Boxing Office between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays. The bout also is the first in the history of the Carolinas where the new thumbless gloves will be tested. Since boxing great Sugar Ray Leonard’s eye injury, many observers have pushed for thumbless gloves as a mandatory requirement. QED NEWS SNOTES, Olympic medalists Phil and Steve Mahre saw the finish line more clearly than ever in Sarajevo, thanks in part to team sponsor Barnes-Hind/Hy- drocurve. Both gold medalist Phil and silver medalist Steve — winners in the same men’s ski slalom event — were fitted prior to the Winter Games with the company’s con- tact lenses. Like 40 million other Amer- icans, the Mahre brothers suf- fer from astigmatism, an ir- regularly shaped eyeball which causes blurry vision. But the brothers have other reasons for wearing contact lenses. “Eyeglasses and goggles tend to fog up and vibrate on the slopes, which can hamper vi- sion,” says Phil. “Contact lenses stay on the eye comfort- ably and never fog up at all.” Company eye care experts noted that the Mahres’ contact lenses made it through more than just months of rigorous training and sub-zero tempera- tures. On the day of the race, they withstood the tears that came from victory and the birth of Phil’s son.
