Bob Fitzsimmons (14-0) won by KO3 over #11 Dan Creedon (7-6) on 12-7-1903. Back in 1901 Fitz took a close UD10 over Creedon so people had hopes for this fight being close. Creedon came out swinging in the first and won the round big. Fitz came out for round two with a mouse under his right eye and dropped Creedon halfway through the round.

Creedon survived the onslaught that followed, but clearly was hurt as he stumbled back to his corner. Fitz wasted no time in the 3rd dropping Creedon twice in the first minute and Creedon stayed down the 2nd time.

For Fitzsimmons, this was his 5th title defense and he stated after the fight that he would stick around the middleweight division for a little bit longer.
