"American middleweight Randy Sandy was awarded a disputed points decision over British Empire champion Dick Tiger of Nigeria Thursday night. The decision brought a roar of boos and whistling from the crowd of 3,000. Sandy, 159 1/2, took a fearful hammering in the last round as Tiger, 161, waded in with a punishing two-handed attack. The crowd had no doubt who had won - Tiger of Nigeria. But Scottish referee Frank Wilson showed no hesitation. He walked across to the American's corner and lifted Sandy's hand in victory." -Associated Press
