Towel Thrown In Boxing Day's Games

In Seventh Round

(Special Air Mail Service)

London, Dec. 5.

.A world title loomed on the horizon of British boxing, when Jock McAvoy the British middle- weight, champion, hammered Kid Tunero, of Cuba, into submission in the seventh round at Belle Vue, Manchester,

Seven thousand people were raised to a pitch of excitement by one of the most sensational Sghts of recent years, and the climax was as dramatic as anything seen in an English ring,

Many thought Tunero had been knocked out that he was down for the full count from a terrife uppercut which McAvoy landed on the Cuban's chin halfway through

the seventh round.

Such was the hullabaloo that the referee Mr. Percy Moss,, apparent- ly had dimiculty in hearing the time-keeper's counting. He turned to listen to the time-keeper.

Tunero" rose and continued to Bight. McAvoy forced him to the ropes and punished him heavily until he was sagging half-way through the ropes in a helpless condition and his seconds threw a towel into the ring.

Mr. Moss's explanation of what' happened in these few seconds of pandemonium is as follows:— '«

"Tunero was down for nine sec- Fonds the first time. I turned to check up my counting with the timekeeper. When I turned round "Tunero was on his feet,

A World-Beater

"The second time Tunero had been down for about eight when his seconds threw in his towel."

The contest was virtually a 'world championship eliminator, as Mc- Avoy has the promise of a match with Marcel Thil, the French hold- er of the world's title as a result

of this victory,

Certainly McAvoy never looked more Uke world-beater He fought coolly and cleverly and scarcely wasted a punch,

Tunero suffered. an amazing hammering. It seemed scarcely possible to "belleve that this was the man who had beaten Thil in a non-title fight, and it certainly makes McAvoy's chances of wrest- ing the crown from the French- man appear exceedingly bright.

The Lancashire man was in no mood to mince matters. From the first gong he set himself to win by the power and plenitude of his punches, and be soon. had the reputedly tricky and clever colour- edman foundering. Tunero, in fact, was no match for our cham- plog

MeAvoy took the fight to his op- ponent and never relaxed his ag- gressive two-handed attack:

Tuhero was obliged frequently to run into clinches and had to be warned for holding, though it ig bellevable that he scarcely knew what he was doing.

Tunero Slaws Down McAvoy measuring his-apponent, slashed in a right that staggered the coloured man, who covered up before a hall of body punches,

Back went Tunero's head from a terrift right in round three. As the Cuban rocked on his heels McAvoy leapt at him to dash a great punch into his opponent's face

McAvoy landed a wicked punch under the heart at the beginning of the next session and Tunéro hung on.

Tearing away, the Rochdale man went in again, and the speed of his punching bewildered the Cu- iban. Even in the clinches Tunero

could do little,

MEAvoy's left stopped Tunero, who clinched, when the Rochdale mar ran in with a left swing.

Tunero landed a left to the face, but he took a cracking right on the ear in return.

Tunero was again warned for holding in round seven. Shortly afterwards McAvoy peppered the Cuban's face

Then came the dramatic finish. McCLEAVE TOO QUICK Dave McCleave, the ex-amateur Empire Games champion, out- pointed Ernie Roderick (Liverpool). in an eight-round bout at the Crystal Palace,
