Johnny Kilbane 133 lbs beat KO Mars 122 lbs by KO in round 7 of 10
- Date: 1913-10-30
- Location: Music Hall Arena, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
- Referee: Frank Mills
Mars had Kilbane bleeding when he put him down with a half-arm swing in the 4th round. The Cincinnati Enquirer felt that it was more like a push, but Kilbane sat on the floor "like an old man in an armchair smoking a pipe." Aside from this moment, Kilbane was in control of the fight in every round, as he had Mars wobbling and near collapse from exhaustion. Kilbane scored the knockout as Mars was trying to land his left hand, and pulled back with a counter right hand to Mars's chin. Mars fell flat on his back from the blow, and it took five minutes to revive him.
