Jimmy McLarnin 112 lbs beat Mickey Gill 112 lbs by MD in round 10 of 10
- Date: 1924-08-15
- Location: Arena, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
- Referee: George Addison
- Judge: Al Hardy
- Judge: Charlie Thompson
According to contemporary reports, this was McLarnin’s fourth win over Gill in four bouts (a couple were amateur affairs):
- “Four times these boys have met. McLarnin has piled up a lead each time. It would be unwise to rematch them. Gill is quite unable to hurt McLarnin and only rare courage and gameness carried him through last night.” — Andy Lytle, Vancouver Sun, Aug. 16, 1924.
- “Fighting at 112 pounds, both boys showed class, and are undoubtedly well matched. McLarnin gave signs of greater experience and more strength, but he is no more willing than Gill.” — Vancouver Province
