SOME REFLECTIONS ON THE 1958 COLONY BOXING CHAMPIONSHIPS

By OUR BOXING REPORTER

The boxing season is over. The curtain came down on activo competition when the Hongkong Amateur Boxing Associa- tion staged the finals of its 1958 Championships at the Southorn Playground last Friday evening.

Comparison is often useful and it is fair to say the standard of boxing was a big improvement on that shown in the 1957 event. However, even at that, it was sometimes disappointing and was not always up to the standard which really merits the Colony Championship tag. Nevertheless there was a definite upward trend and that is a step in the right direction.
