Penang, Mar. 1.

Seaman James Prandy, champion of the China Squadron and the Royal Navy and Marine featherweight champion, sprung a surprise at Penang last night when he outpointed Frankie Weber at Wembley Park Stadium over 15 rounds.

Weber was completely outboxed for the first half of the fight, but towards the end scored a lot of points as Prandy felt the pace.
