'Voice of boxing' Harry Carpenter dies at 84

Boxing bloopers
- 'This boxer is doing what's expected of him, bleeding from the nose'
- 'Magri has to do well against the unknown Mexican, who comes from a famous family of five boxing brothers'
- 'They said it would last two rounds - they were half right, it lasted four'
- 'Marvellous oriental pace he's got, just like a Buddhist statue'
Sporting slip-ups and Wimbledon wobbles
- 'Ah, isn't that nice - the wife of the Cambridge president is kissing the cox of the Oxford crew'
- 'We haven't had any more rain since it stopped raining'
- 'It's quite clear Virginia Wade is thriving on the pressure, now the pressure on her to do well is off'
