Palmer.
Pat Palmer, southern area flye'.t cbempion. began his at,,!T> . . bnck ’ 0 jp- s former position as contender for the world championship vith an impressive win over the Irish title-holder, Jim Warnock (Belfast), in an eightrounder. The Londoner excelled at ■ lose quarters, and scored freely to the head and body. He obviously concentrated on the body because of the- Irishman’s southpaw stance, which at times puzzled him. In the latter rounds Warnock beat Palmer ’■- the punch, but the Londoner got in a number of telling rights to the jaw. and h's better work ’n the earlier stages fully entitled him to the verdict. Warnock is the only boxer to defeat Bennv Lvnch. the world flyweight champion, since the latter won the title.
