ROUND THREE
(Round two was not televised)
The wrestlers test their strength against each other

ROUND FOUR
Ray Steele wins the first score of the contest, turning Pete Roberts as he moves in for a forearm smash and pinning him superbly

ROUND FIVE
A variety of holds, from single-leg boston to armlock to Japanese stranglehold - but no further score

ROUND SIX
Pete Roberts tries a backhammer. Later in the round he wins the equalising fall with a well-executed cross-buttock takedown and pin

ROUND SEVEN
Strength holds by Steele and skilful pinfall attempts by Roberts - but it's deadlock

ROUND EIGHT
Unfortunately, the final round was missing from the video. Thanks to John for the information that Roberts gained a late winner to set up a title bout with Steele at a later date.

Thanks to Bob for the video loan and to Norrie for the use of his VCR
