ALLISON AND GRANT THRILLED LAST NIGHT'S BIG BOXING CROWD

For example there was 'A' for Allison......The Adonis, always aggressive, nctive and astonishingly accurate, Or again you might have preferred 'B' for Bowen and Benion the boys with the bout blasting blows; there was 1 for Legerton's lethal left and probably away above the lot 'G' for Grant grenthearted Grant
