Honey Mellody (15-12) made his first defense of the LBA Welterweight title with basically just one punch. He scored a KO6 over #5 Tommy West (12-3-1).

West won the first five rounds by a fairly large margin, but was dropped with one big left hook early in the 6th and couldn't beat the count. Mellody not known for his power said after the fight "Well I'm sure it was just a lucky punch, I'm like the worst champion ever right?" Then he ended the press conference and walked off.

On the undercard

BW - Al Delmont (15-7-1) MD10 Watty Austin (10-10-2)
HW - Jem Mace (15-8-2) KO8 Fred Russell (8-5) (Russell stepped up to HW for the loss)
WW - Jack Willis (8-5-1) DRAW10 Al Neill (5-8-2)
FW - Billy Whistler (7-13-4) UD8 Abe Willis (7-1) (Willis at pp for this club fight)
MW - Edward Rollins (15-18) UD10 Dick Sandall (6-21-1)
