Marred by Kid Andre's consistent holding and the inaccurate swinging of Edwin Llewellyn, the main event was a disappointment last night and when the younger and stronger British soldier was awarded the decision over Andre the big crowd filed out of the Canidrome Gardens none too pleased by the final event of the evening of professional boxing.
Wading in aggressively as though determined to wear out the. aging Andre as soon as possible, Llewellyn took the first round by a big margin which ended with Andre already puffing and wearing a reddened face.
Again in the second and third rounds, the soldier youth and strength managed to outpoint the Russian. But although Llewellyn was winning steadily. he failed to make a good impression, He kept pushing a long left into Andre's face from a semi-crouching stance, frequently just placing his glove against the Rus sian's nose and pushing for a moment, or merely holding it there.
