  • "Tommy Yarosz, Monaca, Pa., a clever boxer with a fast left hand, outpointed Dave Sands, the Australian middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight champion in the feature 10 rounder. Sands demonstrated he had a powerful punch with his right. He staggered the American with a right in the 2nd round, but Yarosz cleared his head with a half-minute of backpedalling. For the rest of the hard-punching contest, Yarosz managed to slip or parry Sands' attempts to connect with the right." -Associated Press
