[FLY] (WBC) Chappie Moran 20-3-1 (5) v/s Alf Gower 15-12-5 (4)
Moran controlled the bout from the opening bell and if he had any kind of punching power surely he would have knocked Gower out early. The fight was stopped in round nine when Gower landed a punch high on Moran's head and apparently injured his hand.

[HW] (WBC) James Corbett 24-4-1 (5) v/s John Sullivan 20-2-1 (16)
This fight was a stylistic nightmare for both fighters. For the judges it just depended on the style you favored most. Corbett was knocked down once in the third round and Sullivan was never knocked off his feet or even hurt. Neither fighter was cut or swollen at the end of the fight. Sullivan was the busier fighter but only landed 19% of his punches while Corbett relied on his boxing and counterpunching and landed 55% of his punches. Lee MacRae at ringside scored the fight 143-143, the official scorecards were 143-142 Corbett, 144-142 Sullivan, and 144-142 Corbett.

[WW] (WBC) Owen Ziegler 25-1-2 (10) v/s George Cole 16-2-1 (4)
In the first round Ziegler scored a big knockdown but pretty much every round after he was clearly out boxed. Cole even dropped the champ once in the fourteenth. The cards were all for the winner and new WBC Champ, George Cole.
