Brcland had been a 2-1 favorite to
regain the 147-pound title he lost on
an 11 th-round knockout to Starling
this past Aug. 22 in Columbia.
In another title bout on the HBO
doubleheader, Julio Cesar Chavez retained
the WBA lightweight title by
stopping Rodolfo Aguilar of Panama
in the sixth round. It was Chavez's
57th victory in as many fights and his
48th knockout.
Starling was the aggressor ^ ~
[throughout and the harder puncher,
but Breland seemed to control the se- ^
cond half of the fight with left jabs
that pounded Starling's face lumpy
and left his left eye virtually closed.
Judge Jerry Roth of Las Vegas
scored it 116-113 for Starling. Judge
Steve Moretti of Las Vegas favored
Breland 115-114. Judge Elias Quintana
of Albuquerque, N.M., scored
it 114-114.

in the fourth round.

the fight drew on, but in many
rounds he seemed reluctant to punch.

" Turner moves
J to free safety
IB By STEPHEN GUILFOYLE
Managing editor
When is a quarterback not a
W quarterback? When he has to play
behind Todd Ellis and Dickie
IDcMasi, who excited Gamecock fans
with the run-and-shoot offense this
past fall.
When is a quarterback not a
quarterback? When he decides to
switch to free safety and intercept
passes instead of throwing them.
What Gamecock quarterback
doesn't want to be a quarterback
anymore? Pat Turner, a 200-pound,
6-foot-3-inch junior from Canton,
IGa.
Turner said he's been thinking
about moving to free safety for a
while, but didn't get a chance until
midway through spring practice.
USC head football coach Joe Morrison
said Monday that he has not
f had enough time to evaluate him in
in the position.
i, Morrison said Turner has not had
enough time to practice at free safety,
after switching in the middle of
j spring practice, then missing some
practice after coming down with
' ? strep throat.
Turner ran only a few series as free
safety and had one stop.
Turner said he was excited about
JJJg the possibility of getting on USC's
"50" defense, especially at free
safety.
"It is an exciting position," he
,t said. "You get to hold back, but you
can also go in and plug up some holes
on the sweeps and surprise some people
who aren't expecting you."
Turner's lone stop came when
Greg Welch went up the middle for
seven yards and a first down.
y , , Turner said he knows he's approaching
a new position cold, but
lho'? said he watched free safety Brad Ediv
wards work out, and he will work out
with his roommate, Ron Rabune, a
6-foot-l-inch, 203-pound free safety.

"I feel very confident in my assistant
irma- coaches. I don't believe it."
