UnhoIz is New Zealand Champ.
Boer Unholz is still In winning form.
He went across 10 New Zealand and
met Tracey, the lightweight champion
OF the dominion, on August 18th and
the Boer scored an easy win. The
fight was over fifteen rounds and was
witnessed by nearly 1000 people. For
his share of the purse Unholz received
$500 and expenses. Tracey was never
in the hunt He scaled 133 pounds.
while Unholz tipped the beam at 157.
Tracey was nervous man as he
stepped into the ring, the Boer'S rcpu"
tatlon having overawed him. In the
first round Unholz played several tunes
on Tracey's ribs and the fight did not
look like going anything like fifteen
rounds In the second Tracey took a
hand and landed two fine uppercuts to
the Beers jaw, and again In the third
the Boer stopped a similar blow, but
retallated to such purpose that Tracey
was on the board for some seconds
The Boer was shining at in fight
ing while Tracey always stood off his
man, UnholZ was getting all over his
opponent, particularly on the ribs and
kidneys, and the bout was wearing n
very one-sided appearance until
Tracey delivered couple of good
uppercuts in the sixth. In the seventh
Tracey was down for four seconds, but
the Boer assisted him TO his feet in
stead Of taking advantage Of a good
opening UnholZ found Tracey's Jaw
three times in the ninth, The next
few rounds were all the Beers, but In
the twelfth he stopped beauty on the
point from the New Zeaiander In the
thirteenth the BoeT chased his op-
ponent all round the ring and, corner
Ing him, landed half dozen blows TO
Tracey's one. In the fourteenth the
New Iealandcr effectively uppercut the
Roer but the latter chased him round
the ring in the fifteenth and landed a
hard left to the chin The referee had
no hesitation in Dronouucig Unholz
the winner on points. UnholZ stated
after the fight that he only wanted to
outpoint Tracey and had not tried for
a knockout. and this was very evident
to the onlookers. The Boer. In fact,
was very kind to the New Zealander
right throughout. BY winning, the
Boer has annexed the lightweight
championship Of Now Zealand
Unholz arrived back in Sydney on
August oath and 1t is extremently
probable that he will meet George
Johns here at an early date for purse
and side wager of $500 or 81 900
Johns Is one Of the clevcrcst boxers
We have, but has been out OF the har.
ness for about two years.
