"George Chuvalo of Toronto scored a 2nd round TKO over Irish Bob Avery of Tucson, Ariz., Friday night in a heavyweight match that excited few fans and drew even less. The Canadian heavyweight champion humbled his opponent at the 2:00 mark of the 2nd round of what was a scheduled 10-round bout. Referee Jack Berry stopped the fight after Avery had been knocked down for the mandatory eight-count twice in the 1st round and three times in the 2nd." -Canadian Press

  • The Canadian Press emphasized that this was a scheduled 10-rounder, not a 15-rounder as some reported.
