Flaiinery In
Tough Fight
By STEVE I1AYWARD
Victoria's leading lightweight
Frankie Flannery looks likely
to have one of the toughest
fights of his career against
George Barnes (NSW) at the
Stadium tonight.
Flannery's experience and
versatility entitle him to
favoritism. He will probably
be troubled by the aggression
of Barnes — one of tne most
improved main event boxers.
Barnes lost on points to Flan
nery in their only meeting last
November, but Flannery was
rocked a few times. Barnes
has since met Claude Denning-
ton (England) and Alfie Clay
(Qld.).
The result of this bout will
decide the No. 1 contender for
the National lightweight title.
