November 10, 1904

Jack Root (18-4) won a UD15 over #7 Duncan McDonald (6-8-1) for his first defense since regaining the title. Root fought McDonald back in December of 1902 and won a lopsided decision then. This bout was no different.

Root dominated from the start. He suffered a cut under his left eye in the second but it was quickly stopped. It was a slow and boring fight with the crowd booing throughout.

I had Root winning 147-138. Walt Arnold at ringside had it 145-140. The official judges had it 148-137/144-141/149-137.

On the undercard

LHW - Gunner Moir UD10 Dick Sandall (Sandall stepping up to LHW for the loss)
MW - Billy Baker UD10 Harris Martin
HW - Joe Goss UD6 Joe Godfrery (Goss fought as a beginner in this club fight)
MW - Paddy Purtell UD6 Bill Slavin (Purtell fought as a beginner in this club fight)
MW - Frank Glover KO10 WC McLellan (club fight)
