Featuring the Commonwealth and European Bantamweight Title.

MW - John Banks (11-0)(11) TKO6 Charles 'Toff' Wall (6-3-1)

Banks appears to be a tough customer. He brawled his way inside against Wall, who had no answer to his aggression.

LW - George Lavigne (30-7-1) UD10 Harry Nickless (8-3)

Nickless is one tough customer. He was on the deck in four different rounds, but was still trying to knockout his man in the final three minutes. Lavigne was far too classy throughout and once again gave the crowd their money's worth.

LW - Bat Mullins (6-2-1) MD10 Horace Leeds (8-1-1)

A really poor affair with neither fighter deserving the victory.

MW - Charley Davis (8-2) UD10 Mick Nathan (7-4-1)

A very one sided bout. It seemed that everything Davis threw landed, Nathan rose from the canvas twice.

LW - Mike Daly (13-13-1) SD10 Austin Gibbons (13-11-1)

As the last round started Gibbons must have thought he had the verdict in the bag. He covered up on the ropes and made no attempt to win the round. It proved to be a poor strategy, Daly won the all important last three minutes and deserved the decision. Daly remains a dangerously powerful puncher.

Commonwealth and European Bantamweight Title

Billy Plimmer (19-1-2) (Holder) UD12 Jack Hare (11-2-1)

Plimmer almost threw his titles away!

Billy was comfortably ahead on the scorecards going into the last three minutes, but he still went for broke. He was throwing wild hooks to Hare's (below right) head and body, when the challenger countered and landed a sharp right hand flush on the chin of Plimmer (below left). Plimmer hit the canvas and struggle to get to his feet, it was lucky for him that there was less than a minute left in the round. Hare waded into him but ran out of time.

To have been knocked out would have been tough on Plimmer, he had fought aggressively and well. For eleven rounds Hare was on the wrong end of a beating, shipping hooks to both head and midrift.

Plimmer will now get a chance to avenge his only defeat, he will meet the American Champion Johnny Murphy in a World Title final eliminator.
