"Toronto's George Chuvalo Wednesday night regained the Canadian heavyweight championship with a 12 round decision over Bob Cleroux of Montreal. There were no official knockdowns but Cleroux twice threw Chuvalo to the canvas in the 11th round and was cautioned by referee Jack Sharkey. Chuvalo's strategy was to lie back and pick his shots against the mauling, plodding Montrealer, and it paid off. He opened a slight cut over Cleroux's right eye in the opening round and over his left eye in the 9th. Chuvalo's best round was the 7th when his stiff crosses had Cleroux reeling and holding." -Canadian Press
