"Clyde Gray scored a knockout victory in defense of his Canadian welterweight title over Alan Clarke in the 10th round Thursday night after a roundhouse right and a left hook to the challenger's midsection. Clarke was knocked to the canvas twice in the 6th round on two body blows, and once while the two boxers wrestled.

In the 10th Gray cornered Clarke and unleashed a flurry of blows that dropped the challenger twice to the canvas." -Canadian Press

Post fight comment
