			The decision was well received and the4 crowd stood and applauded both men at the close.

			Spence took the first round with his good left jab and an occasional pot shot. In the next three rounds the action was fought on even terms as both boys traded leather on the inside. In round five Spence wisely went back to boxing at long range and his left jab controlled the pace of the fight, and opened his opponent up for many sharp left-right combinations.

			Spence did well until rounds seven and eight, when it appeared he was starting to tire. In these rounds, Cherico got the edge as he gallantly tried to change the tide of the fight. In the final two rounds Spence got his second wind and put on a ferocious stretch drive that would surely have stopped a less durable opponent.
