BOXING RING

DOMMY GANZON IMPRESSIVE POPULAR AMATEUR TOURNEYS Dommy Ganzon fully justified his reputation as a brilliant fighter when lie gained a decisive victory oier Bill\ Hamilton at Christchurch on Saturday night. Hamilton, who holds tho Victorian light-weight championship, is a fighter of no mean ability, as was evidenced when bo gained a comparatively easv decision over Clarrie Ravnor recently, but the Australian met a whirlwind opponentr in Ganzon and the Filipino's bard punches and clever strategy carried all before him. According to reports the large crowd which witnessed the bout was greatly enthusiastic over Ganzon's performance and it. is certain that his services-will be much in demand. Jack Davis, the promising Hawke s Bav professional, earned a, meritorious win over Cbirrie Marshall; last week and it looks as if'this boxer, who is a cousin of Hughie Sheridan and Brian McKay, will go far'in tlie game. ■ Aucklandcrs.ilre particulajly anxious to see Percy,Kelly in action again, preferably 'aga'inst Brian McKay, who beat him recently at! Gisborne. A return •fight.: should provide plenty of action, both boxers being very keen and of tho kind who like to get in and mix matters.'

Seville Mudgway will meet . Les. Adams at Blenheim on Friday. Adams has done extremely well in the south during the last few months and this match is being looked forward to with much interest. Gannon will meet Henry Dunn to-morrow at Wellington and this fight too has considerable possibilities, as Dunn is a clever young fighter and has many well-earned successes to his credit.

Becent open tourneys at North Shore and Papatoetoe. with well-known professionals featuring in exhibitions and promising local lads taking part in care-fully-selected amateur, bouts, were well patronised. It. is' planned to bold these popular suburban competitions at regular intervals. - There is no doubt that the success of tho carnivals already held has been elite in no small measure to the general organisation and high standard of the entertainment.
