WELLINGTON BOXING
Attractive Programme
The Wellington Boxing Association will open the 1942 season with a most attractive programme at the Town Hall on Monday night. 'The main items on the bill will be a professional heavyweight contest between Bill Pasco (Invercargill) and Don. Mullett (Wellington). This will be a tussle between experience, as represented by Pasco, who has a good record behind him in the ring both in New Zealand and Australia, and Mullett, who will represent youth. This will be a serious try-out for Mullett, who will have the advantage in age, weight, height and reach, but it is expected that Pasco’s riper experience will more than counterbalance these advantages. It is long since such an attractive programme between professional heavyweights has been staged in a Weliingion ring. An attractive series of amateur preliminaries will include: Featherweight, B. Mullholland (Newtown) v. T. Lewis (Hedberg’s) ; light-heavyweight, T. C<>ll (Tracey's) v. G. Lovatt (Hedberg’s); welterweight. Murfitt (Air Force) v. B. Murphy (Railways); lightweight, J/. Neylon (Tracey's) v. J. McKenna (Railwjivs) ; middleweight, W. Luddon (liedberg's) v. F. Soulhee (Railways) ; lightweight, N. Hofmann (Hedi erg's) v. D. Clark '(Railways).
