Trowcrn’« attack in the second round staggered his opponent, and missing a wild swing, he fell through the ropes. The New' Zealander continued to force the pace in the third round, but the Australian’s cautious boxing nullified attempts to score. Ackworth was floored again in the fourth round with a right- to the chin, and took heavy punishment throughout the fifth round. Two rights to the jaw dropped Ackworth for nine in the sixth round, and the referee intervened and awarded the decision to Trowern.
