YOUNG GILDO BEATEN
WIN FOR JACK JARVIS POINTS OVER 12 ROUNDS (Per Press Assoi’intion.) AUCKLAND, last night. The Filipino boxer. Young Gildo. 9st. 61b.. suffered his first defeat on his New Zealand visit to-night when he was beaten by Jack Jarvis, the New Zealand lightweight champion, of Eltham, 9st„ in a bright professional lightweight contest of 12 three-minute rounds, the New Zealander securing the decision on points. The winner, profiting from the experience of his former contests with Gildo, fought cleverly from start to finish. Using great wariness, he smothered up continually in the opening rounds, which were by no means lively, but later he adopted the tactics of standing off his opponent and using his longer reach to great advantage. Gildo, who excelled in in-fighting, scored points in the opening rounds, in which a bleeding nose gave Jarvis considerable trouble.
