White outlanded Britt three-to-one in the bout as he fought in his usual volume punching style, while Britt landed the harder blows. The bout was even through the first half, before White took the lead in the 6th, 7th, and 8th rounds. Britt rallied strongly in the 9th round, and held his own in the final round. The decision was unpopular with the local fans, who favored the hometown boxer Britt.
