LEONARD'S COMEBACK -- It is only fitting that when Sugar Ray Leonard enters the ring against welterweight Kevin Howard in the Centrum in Worcester, Mass., Saturday , Feb. 25. ending the former champion's 15-month retirement, the bout will be televised by HBO. During Leonard's short retirement,because of surgery to repair a detached retina in his left eye, he became associated with HBO, providing boxing commentary on many top bouts and hosting his own show, "Sugar Ray's All Stars." Leonard won the welterweight title by defeating Wilfred Benitez in Las Vegas in 1979, then lost it to Roberto Duran the following year in Montreal He regained it in the famous "No Mas!" battle with Duran in New Orleans, and later stopped Thomas Hearnsina 14-rounder. Then the surgery. As for the eye, Leonard doesn't even think of it, says there is no reason tc adopt a special defense for it. The eye was checkec a month ago, and he said he would have it checkec immediately after the fight. Leonard says one of the reasons for the cor back was the fact that his wife and son supports him in it. "The main thing was for Juanita to realize! my heart was really in it. I just want to do it because] I know I can do it." He wears protective headgear and thumbless] gloves during in his workouts, and will wear thumb- less gloves during all his fights.
