The Forum reported that LeRoy won the first four rounds, rounds five and six were even, and then Mitchell won the last four rounds as his nine pound weight advantage began to exert itself. LeRoy was knocked down in the sixth and tenth rounds and those two knockdowns were enough to give Mitchell a "scant edge" in the scoring.
