Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 1, No. 7 April 27, 1938

Lightweight

Lightweight.

Trillo, V.U.C. v. Nicholson. C.U.C.

A thrilling fight in which both men were content to stand toe to toe and throw everything they had at each other. Trillo appeared to have a longer reach and in the opening rounds landed more often and effectively. Nicholson made a run in the two last rounds and the judges were unable to separate them, so that an extra round was ordered. Then the fighting spirit of the Trillos came to the fore and he was on the right end of a close verdiet.

Unfortunately he injured his hand in the fight and was unable to appear against Adams in the final, so that the title went to Otago by default.
