Dominic McCaffrey (14-5-3) used superior defense and survived a knockdown to win a UD15 over John L. Sullivan (19-5) to be crowned the new LBF Heavyweight champion.

Sullivan came out fast and won the first round. McCaffrey then took control of the fight and dominated the next 5 rounds. Sullivan suffered a cut under his right eye in the 4th. His right eye also started to swell shut then. The 8th threw the 11th was a slugfest. Sullivan dropped McCaffrey for a 7 count in the 9th and appeared to change the fight. Dom answered with a knockdown of his own in the 11th.

Both fighters appeared exhausted at that point and McCaffrey used his boxing skills to pull away in the last 4 rounds.

I had it 146-140 as did ringside expert Aurelio Barrios. The official judges saw it 146-138/147-138/144-141.

On the undercard
HW - Joe Goddard (8-10) UD10 Ed Dunkhorst (12-10-2)
HW - Billy Australian Smith (15-6) KO4 Johnny Woods (9-11-2)
HW - Oliver Williams (1-0) UD6 Jem Stewart (3-12) (williams a beginner in this club bout)
HW - Jack Stelzner (9-13-2) UD10 Tompkin Gilbert (3-16-1) (club fight)
HW - Morris Grant (9-10-5) UD10 Joe Lannon (8-13) (club fight)
