In his amateur and professional career Marshall has beaten some of the best men of his weight in the Dominion, and should provide Jenkin with a hard contest Among Marshall’s victims have been George McKay, F Mclvtr. R. Reid (now meeting with success in Australia), and George Low (who won the New Zealand amateur middle-weight title in 1935) Marshall is a solid puncher, with a long list of victories. The main bout will be preceded by a 10-round professional bout between Lex Greaney. of Dunedin, and Jim Mitchell, of Christchurch, and there will also be a four-round amateur preliminary between Neil Leckie (Dunedin) and B.
