[LHW] (WBC) Bob Fitzsimmons 27-2-0 (25) v/s Mervine Thompson 17-5-1 (11)
Thompson appeared to be too heavy handed for the champion in the first round as he just knocked Fitz all around the ring. In the second the challenger scored a big knockdown on the champion. Fitz found his range in round 3 scoring a knockdown of his own. In the fourth neither fighter went after the other. The fifth round Fitz decided to let his hands go and was constantly battering the challenger, the ref stopped the fight with 35 seconds left in the fifth giving the champion a TKO victory.

[WW] (WBC) George Cole 17-2-1 (4) v/s Billy Gardner 13-2-2 (6)
Neither fighter looked like they wanted to fight tonight. The first round was even by all accounts, the second round Gardner did just a little more, and the third Cole did just a little more. In the fourth Cole walked into a straight right and fell flat on his back. He never regained his feet.

[FW] (WBC) George Dixon 23-3-0 (15) v/s Young Griffo 23-1-1 (9) {Round 2}
Griffo lost his belt to Dixon last year by technical knockout. This time the cut was not caused by a punch but by a clash of heads and it wasn't Griffo that was cut it was Dixon. The fight continued into the thirteenth round before it was stopped.

July 23, 1898
[FLY] (WBC) Chappie Moran 21-3-1 (6) v/s Willie Smith 10-5-2 (3)
This fight wasn't even close, Moran was simply the better fighter from the beginning. Smith stayed in there taking his beating and looked somewhat relieved that the fight was stopped due to a cut over his left eye in the eleventh round.
