17th June 1894, Madison Square Garden

American Featherweight Title

Sammy Kelly (17-5-0)(2)(Holder) SD12 Cal McCarthy (26-6-3)(16)

Kelly (below) made a successful first defence of his American Title.

The local boy dominated the veteran ex World Champ throughout, keeping him at distance and avoiding a scrap.

Judge Finbar MacDougall must have forgotten his specs, he gave the fight to McCarthy by three points.

Kelly stated post fight that he would face Young Griffo at the Garden next month, the winner would likely take part in a World Title final eliminator. Retirement beckons for McCarthy.
