Lave
TONGAN heavyweight, Kitione Lave, scored a decisive win over Ross Jenkins at Leichhardt Stadium, Sydney, on January 20.
The NSW timber cutter was knocked to the canvas twice before referee Burns declared Lave the winner 1 minute 30 seconds after the fight began. Jenkins, who knocked out Samoan boxer Fossi Schmidt for a shock win last De cember, had no defence against Lave’s powerful punches.
Boxing critics consider Lave has vastly improved on his first Aus tralian showing. He has shortened his punches to make them straighter.
