"Dave Sands, Australian triple crown holder, outpointed Robert Villemain of France last night in a 10 round non-title bout. Sands, 161, showing the best form since he came to England two months ago, dropped Villemain, 160 1/4, for counts of six and nine in the 2nd round. But the rugged Frenchman got up and withstood everything the Australian threw at him the rest of the way. Villemain rallied in the last round, pummeling Sands for two full minutes before the final bell." -Associated Press
