Jim Wright beat Jim Kelly by TKO in round 6 of 8
- Date: 1928-05-11
- Location: Eagles' Club, Dayton, Ohio, USA
- Referee: Glen Whitesell
Kelly knocked Wright down in the 1st round, and had his way for much of the first five rounds. In the 6th round, Wright floored Kelly with a two-handed barrage to the head, finished by a right hand to the body. With the count at four or five, someone threw an item into the ring, which the referee thought was a towel, leading to the bout being stopped. After discovering his error, the referee asked Kelly if he would continue after two minutes rest. Kelly declined to continue.
