BOXING.
GISBORNE CHAMPIONSHIPS. (Per Press Association). Gisbonity Tuesday. Some very good fighting was witnessed at the opening of the Gisborne Association's tourney to-night. In the amateur six-round contests Paul McQuarrie (Southland) defeated Viv. Lowe, oil points; Cate beat Richards, on points; Adair beat Sutherland, on points. The opening stages of the professional featherweight contest between Thompson and Robinson were slow. Robinson had the better of the exchanges, and established a lead. A lot of fighting characterised the bout, and upper cuts formed the majority of the blows struck. In the sixth round both men opened out more, and several good rallies followed. The end came in the tenti round, when Thompson got home with a right hook to the jaw, and followed it up smartly with a heavy right cross, which sent Robinson down, and the band played the "Slumber Song."
