FW - Torpedo Billy Murphy (14-16-1) UD10 Nipper Peakes (9-4-1)

MW - Dan Creedon (25-5-0) TKO5 Starlight Rollins (7-5-1)

Rollins did well to survive as long as he did.

The underdog was on the canvas in the first minute of the fight as he failed to handle the step up in class.

This was a good comeback for Creedon following his devastating KO loss to Pete McCoy.

Vacant Pacific Bantamweight Title

The first of four title fights on the card.

Abe Willis (14-6-2) SD12 Jimmy Anthony (8-2-1)

The ex World Champion and 5/2 betting favourite made heavy weather of beating Anthony. Winless in five, Abe managed to rally late on an edge the decision thus becomming the inaugural Pacific Bantamweight Champ.

Anthony put in a brave display but found the rise in class too much for him, he is a brave if somewhat limited little scrapper.

Pacific Featherweight Title

Young Griffo (29-3-0) UD12 Young Pluto (Holder)(21-10-1)

After a mesmeric opening three minutes from Griffo (below left) the writing was on the wall for Pluto.

Griffo coasted for the rest of the fight, popping Pluto with jab's and combinations.

This was Griffo's first bout since losing his World title to Dick Hollywood, the regaining of his crown is very much on the agenda.

Pacific Lightweight Title

Peter Boland (8-2) KO10 George Dawson (Holder)(15-4-2)

A vicious right hook from Boland crowned him Pacific Lightweight Champion.

After decking Dawson in the second round Boland let his grip of the fight slacken, allowing the ex champ to land some telling right hooks.

Boland stayed in there and was only a couple of points behind on the cards when landing the final blow.

Pacific and Commonwealth Middleweight Titles

Billy McCarthy (20-3-1)(Holder) UD12 Dan Hickey (11-1)

A comfortable if uninspiring defence of his titles by McCarthy.

The Champion had little bother in spoiling Hickey's (below right) unbeaten record, but won few friends in doing so. After his recent victory over Harry 'Dummy' Mace there were some at ringside who speculated that McCarthy was over the hill, this performance could well enforce that theory.

This was a huge rise in class for Hickey and although he performed well Championship titles look beyond him.
