BUFFALO, At the end, he was standing helpless, his hands at his side, his nearly closed eyes seemingly looking for help. But not even his big heart or the judges' benevolent scoring could save Ray (Boom Boom) Mancini tonight.
Livingstone Bramble, who raises fighting pit bull terriers, fought like one and scored a dramatic 14th-round knockout of Mancini to win the World Boxing Association lightweight championship.
The 14,500 stunned spectators at Buffalo Memorial Auditorium had already seen another 4-1 underdog, Gene Hatcher, win the W.B.A. junior welterweight title by stopping previously undefeated Johnny Bumphus in the 11th round.
