Both men were in good form, but Russell repeatedly clinched and Graham landed at will in the breakaways. Russell went out with a hard left on the jaw, after having been badly punished in the wind throughout the first two minutes.

The delay before the main bout was caused by the "hold-up" tactics employed by "Kid" Blackburn and his brother Fred, who sails under the title of the Kid's affairs. Koerner subbed for Kid Bradford. At the end of the sixth round Captain Kruger, to prevent a knockout, stopped the contest and Referee Marx declared the bout a draw on this account. The Indianapolis Journal, June 3, 1902.

Results from the Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette. A riot broke out over Referee Marx's decision:"The referee said he would give Kennedy the decision, but he was under the impression that a man blocking a blow deserved as much credit as a man doing all the fighting".
