From the Halifax Chronicle afternoon edition...Action was so slow in the O'Brien-Bivins set-to that the referee twice had to stop and admonish both men to try harder...Bivins came on fast at the end but it was too late...Joe Kennedy retained his PacificNorthwest championship by a surprising stoppage of Joe Choynski who entered the ring looking in less than top form...Kallie Knoetze defended his South Afrikan title with a sluggish effort Referee Jimmy White rescuing Tom Ball after his third trip to the canvas...Young Bakari Olokun challenged Knoetze from ringside...Hank Griffin returned to the ring from his hand injury and stunned the crowd at Hazard's Pavilion with a knockout of Mervine Thompson in just :45 seconds of round one and regained his American championship...Peter Felix holds onto his Australia-New Zealand championship belt with a technical knockout of Steve O'Donnell in round two...Round one was cautious with only a few jabs thrown then in round two Felix feinted a left then put a short hard right to the jaw of O'Donnell that put him on queer street open to a left hook to the face...
