From recent edition of The Cape Town Times....In a special 12 round fight held at the Metropolitan A.C. in Sydney, South Afrika's Frans Botha [15-10-3] lays out local lad Owen Sullivan [19-6-1] for the full count in a see-saw battle in front of 3,000 well-heeled fans of the squared circle....Botha is coming off a technical knockout victory over ex-champion Bakari Olokun in June....At the Joberg Ice Rink Australia's Fred Preston (13st 2lbs) wins in convincing fashion over former police constable Fred McMullen (13st 12lbs) earning the referee's decision after ten hard and fast rounds of boxing....In a bout scheduled for eight rounds Japie Smit needs just a minute and thirty-eight seconds to finish off England's Bill Winslow with a left to the body and right to the jaw...
