Featherweight

Featherweight.

Coveney, V.U.C. v. C.U.V.

Blake, the defending champion met more than his match in Conveney. The latter hit with beautiful speed and precision and scored repeatedly with stinging straight lefts and books. In the final two rounds Blake, relying on superior strength rushed Coveney to the ropes, but the Victoria man's steady footwork and crafty roperwork kept him out of trouble.

In the final. Brown of Auckland could make no race of it with Coveney and after Coveney had knocked his man down three times early in the second round he was declared the winner on a T.K.O. This was Victoria's only title won at the Tournament.
