25th July 1894, Madison Square Garden
Lightweight
Frank Erne (19-1-0)(13)(#3) UD10 'Elbows' McFadden (17-3-0)(10)(#11)
Erne (left) saved his best work til the last two rounds, it was just enough.
There were rumours pre fight that the Swiss born stylist had suffered an interrupted training camp and that McFadden was in good condition.
The fight was generally uneventful but the last round proved pivotal, with Erne landing some crisp right crosses as McFadden tried to burrow inside.
Erne will now meet Billy Hill in an American Title final eliminator.
