Powell did more fighting than any other man has ever done with Griffo, but there was no vim in his blows, and in the nineteenth round he was pitiably weak and in such evident pain that the referee stopped the unequal struggle and awarded the fight to Griffo, who must have knocked his plucky opponent out in another round. Griffo will probably visit America soon.”		“Australian files received by the steamer Monowai give long accounts of the featherweight fight between Griffo and Powell, in Sydney, on March 12.
