Rodeo Boxing and Wrestling at Gloucester Stadium
Gloucester boxing and wrestling show fell below previous standards with a few good boxing bouts and a largely mediocre lineup. A storm disrupted seating, totaling losses for promoters on insurance. Notable bouts included Saunders on a split decision over Pink, Clarke’s decisive win over Turner, and a dull eight round main between McDonald and Bowman. Wrestling featured vaudeville acts and a disqualification for Stetcher, amid crowd dissatisfaction. Officials, trophies, and local band contributions noted.
