Billed as a middleweight elimination fight at 158lbs, on the result Frank Klaus took over Jack Dillon’s claim at the weight. A wrestling match for much of the time, although Dillon was the better boxer of the pair he could not hurt Klaus, who just kept boring in. There were no knockdowns. However, both men butted each other on occasion, and while Dillon looked to have secured the points press reports intimated that the referee was swayed by Klaus’ last-ditch finish when giving the decision.
