May 1885 - WBF Eliminator Updates
Middleweight - Billy Baker Pts Tommy Cleary
Tom Barry Pts John P Clow
Lightweight - Jem Carney Pts Jack Keenan
Jack McAuliffe Pts Jacob Hyam
McAuliffe completley outclassed Hyams, but once again entered the ring in a 'shocking' state after skipping training. He will not be able to repeat this strategy when he fights Carney.
Heavyweight - Bob Fitzsimmons KO3 Denver Ed Smith
George Godfrey TKO8 Jim Fell
Negotiations are under way for Fitzsimmons to meet Godfrey on the Carney/McAuliffe undercard at the Royal Albert Hall in July. There is a possibility that the 'Hall' could stage its first WBF sanctioned six fight card.
