Disappointing Saturnia bout ends in stoppage and rallies
The Gleeson Jerome boxing match at Saturnia ended when the referee stopped the fight after repeated clinching and knockdowns. Gleeson showed little skill, was repeatedly knocked down, and the police halted play as the towel was thrown in from Gleeson’s corner. Elsewhere in Brisbane and Sydney, American Hilly Murray defeated Vic Rowe on points, and Nicol Simpson beat Pat Bradley on points after a punishing bout.
