JULY 15, 1905
Tommy Ryan (22-0) scored a 3rd round TKO over Rube Ferns for his 7th defense of the WW title. It was his 3rd and most convincing defeat of the #1 ranked WW.
Ferns was never in it. He never went down but was out on the ropes when the ref stopped it in the 3rd.
Ryan stated after the fight that he was looking to secure a MW title fight against Fitzsimmons and if he could he would leave the WW division behind.
**note** I posted the undercard yesterday but it didn't take for some reason ... too lazy to look up the info again
