Cathcart Aims To Shock Georgia Bantam Champ Bishop
Roy Cathcart of Decatur plans a return boxing match against Georgia bantamweight champion Steve Bishop of Rossville at the Decatur Boys Club on Saturday night. Cathcart, 16, a top Golden Gloves pick, hopes his experience against lefties and recent sparring with Dexter Wiggins helps him reverse their first meeting. He learned of the state honor by chance during a Birmingham match, and his family notes he moved to Decatur last October with his Army father stationed in Germany.
