MCGOVERN RETAINS BANTAMWEIGHT TITLE
Terry McGovern (13-2) retained his Bantamweight title with a 2nd round KO of Harry Forbes (5-5-3) who was ranked #5 by the LBA.
McGovern stunned Forbes in the 1st, then dropped him 3 times in the 2nd. The 3rd time Forbes stayed down.
In an oversight by the LBA McGovern will need to avenge his lone Bantamweight loss in his next title defense. It was overlooked by the LBA that Chappie Moran scored a TKO5 over McGovern back in 1901. The rematch will be McGovern's next defense.

WW - Rube Ferns TKO9 Jack Bennett
FW - Jem Driscoll KO7 Billy Whistler
LHW - Fred Robinson DRAW Johnny McGlade (McGlade stepped up to LH for this club fight)
