Two referees set for Saunooke Hill bout at arena Thursday
Promoter J R Steele announced that two referees will officiate the Chief Saunooke Sailor Barto Hill clash at South Hamilton Street Arena Thursday night to ensure fair play and prevent a repeat of last Thursday's controversy. Reni Renaud will referee the main bout with a second official to monitor ring activity, while a third official will watch from the ring edge. Hill praised Renaud as one of the best officials in years. The other card features Schoolboy Cecil McGill vs Irish Tommy O Toole, a rematch after last week's one hour draw. The first bout starts at 8:30 with reduced admission for ladies, and a large fan will cool the arena.
