James T. Cable (born 7 September 1957), also known by the nickname of "Jimmy", is a retired English professional light middleweight boxer. In the 1980s, who won the Southern (England) Area light middleweight title, the British light middleweight title, and the EBU (European) light middleweight title.Cable was born in Penge. During his professional boxing career he worked as a painter and decorator.Jimmy Cable began his professional career on 18 November 1980, when he outpointed Mick Miller over six rounds at the York Hall, Bethnal Green. He won his next thirteen contests, including a win over Gary Cooper, before being knocked out in two rounds by the Jamaican-born, Cardiff-based veteran Horace McKenzie at the Royal Albert Hall on 17 March 1982. He recovered to win his next four contests before being narrowly outpointed by the former British light-middleweight champion Jimmy Batten at the Albert Hall in February 1983. He then won his next six contests including a points victory over Nick Wilshire in May 1983 when he had recovered from two knockdowns to win on points.Cable won the vacant British Light-Middleweight title in February 1984 by outpointing Nick Wilshire over twelve rounds by 118 points to 117 at the Royal Albert Hall. The Glasgow Herald's correspondent described it as a victory for the "rapier" over the "bludgeon". A month after winning the British title at the Albert Hall, Cable was matched against the American Buster Drayton at the same venue. Drayton, who had been acting as a sparring partner to Marvin Hagler knocked Cable down in 45 seconds of the first round and ended the fight with a "sweeping" left hook 40 seconds later to inflict the third defeat of Cable's career. Drayton later won the IBF championship at the same weight.
