STRENUOUS BOXING
Nichol Defeats Semi
By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, September 13. Strenuous boxing was witnessed in a professional heavyweight contest at the Town Hall last night, when Claude Nichol (Australia), 12st. 81b., gained a decision over Semi (champion of Fiji and Tonga), 13st. 61b., on points after a ragged 12 rounds’ bout. Beside being much the cleverer boxer, Nichol frequently forced the fight to his hard-hitting but very unscientific opponent. The winner’s superior ringcraft and footwork were assets which enabled him to turn the majority of ' Semi’s numerous mistakes to his own account, 'and win practically every round. The large attendance continually applauded Nichol’s determined boxing, and was well satisfied with the decision.
