The sports editor of the Daily Dispatch says the New Zealand boxer Tom Heeney is difficult to understand. "He is the speediest big man we have seen," says the writer, "and if his punching power were commensurate with his quickness, ho would be a world-beater. "He seems to land his blows with power, but there is no doubt that there is something wrong with his hitting, for the blows with which he belaboured Jack Stanley, if they had been properly directed, would have felled the toughest opponent"The sound of Heeney's blows suggests that he opens his glove at the last moment. His fine fighting spirit could counterbalance his deficiencies of height and reach were his punch what it should be."
