    The first fight seems a very close and hard to score fight. I beleive Regis Welsh scored it for Zivic and decalred the decision just and Harvey Boyle thought it was a robbery and Burley won it easily.

    Rosenfeld had it close. Otty had it wide for Burley. Everything i've seen independant of these two had it for Burley. But, as you say.

    Did Rosenfeld and Ottey watch it?

    I get the impression it was a close bout, where depending on the judging criterea you could have it for either man, although the judges picked Zivic.

    Rosenfeld had a fairly balanced report on it. He seems to convey an evenly fought contest
