"Australian junior welterweight champion Hector Thompson retained his title with a narrow 15 rounds points decision over Jeff White at Brisbane. White, who holds the Australian lightweight and welterweight titles, got within two points of Thompson on the final tally but Hector learned something about handling White's bustling style, and exploited this knowledge over the latter rounds. White staged his customary all-out blitz in the latter rounds but Thompson was able to contain him. It was a good, clean, hard fight between two sportsmen." -Ring Magazine, January 1973 issue
