Commonwealth Middleweight Title

Billy McCarthy (25-4-2)(12)(#7)(Challenger) UD12 Ted White (16-2-1)(14)(#13)

Even though 'their' man was defeated the members at the NSC gave the fighters a standing ovation as they returned to their dressing rooms.

There was hardly a lull in the action as both men slugged it out for the twelve rounds. The veteran McCarthy was a worthy winner and anyone who doubted it only needed to take a close look at the face of White after the bout.

McCarthy dominated the first half of the fight and scored the first knockdown in the fifth round, White shipped a nasty right hand which sent him down for a seven count. The Aussie always held the upper hand, landing crisp right crosses and hooks to the body.

An opening for White came in the eighth round when he landed a big right hook which sent McCarthy to the canvas. That was as good as it got for White who spent the second half of the fight with blood pouring over his face from cuts over both eyes.

The NSC may have pulled off a coup as rumours circulated post fight that they had secured a guarantee from Jack Dempsey to meet McCarthy on 'neutral territory'.
