The Spike: or, Victoria University College Review, June 1921

Middleweight:

Middleweight:

Nancarrow v. Scott.—Nancarrow was in excellent fettle, and fighting well. Scott endeavoured to break through his opponent's guard and deliver a knockout. The first round ended in Scott's favour. The second opened with Scott forcing the fighting, but Nancarrow's infighting was good and his defence sound. Scott visibly tired towards the end of the second round. In the third round Scott again tried to floor his man, but without success—Nancarrow was too fit and withstood all onslaughts getting in useful work in the clinches. Both men took a deal of punishment, but Nancarrow's condition in fighting proved too much for Scott. The verdict went to Nancarrow.

Hutchinson v. Nancarrow.—This bout was fought in the evening of the 17th March. Hutchinson quickly got to work and was ahead at the close of the first round. In the second round Nancarrow found Hutchinson's ribs with good right and left jabs, but Hutchinson replied with left and right to the face and. as a result, piled up points freely. The third round was tame, there being a lot of clinching. Hutchinson obtained the decision.
