Mcgovern Regains Title
May 25th, 1906
Terry McGovern (20-4-1) regained his title with a TKO2 over champ Billy Plimmer (15-6-4). McGovern jumped on Plimmer at the opening bell dominating the first round and swelling up Plimmer's right eye. Early in the second a solid jab opened a huge gash on Plimmer's right eye and the ref stopped the bout.
It was a quick stoppage but Plimmer didn't bring his A game and was in for a long fight.
