Oxley broke a, bone in the left hand at the start of the (second round and relied on his right which put Crowley down in the fourth, thereafter Crowley was ■sent to the canvas no fewer Ilian six times, until the ninth. Only gameness and fighting instinct, kept him on his feet. In reply to ' the referee’s query. Crowley at last fried enough .and eolr.tpsed in 11 : -t corner from exhaustion.
