SYDNEY, November 29.

The return fight between Ron Richards (11.11) and Atilio Sabatino (11.0) at the Sydney sports arena, to-night, resulted in Richards winning by a technical knock-out in the tenth round.

A vast crowd witnessed a stirring contest, fast and even, both men-tak-ing severe punishment. Richards never fought better, using both hands to his opponent’s head and body. Sabat'no, whose eye was was compelled to dance round the ring to escape the onslaught, but he himself became the aggressor from the fifth to the eighth, when he looked the winner, but Richards staged a brilliant come-back in the -ninth and tenth.
