gave the decision at the end of the
twentieth round. The Trinidad boy car
ried the fight to his opponent in all
but the second and third rounds. Muir

The Denver boy displayed wonderful
gameness and took more than ordinary
punishment. He tried repeatedly to
land the winning punch, but Chavez
was to willy and displayed his ability
to give a beating and get away from
any severe return. Chavez in almost
every round brought blood from Muir
phys face, either from a cut over the
eye or from the nose. He lacked the
steam to land a knockout punch on
the Irish lad, although he landed al
most at will.
