"Young Stribling of Georgia, last night in MSG, outpunched and outlasted in 10 rounds Jimmy Slattery of Buffalo. Stribling not only evened the score with Slattery, who gained a six-round decision over the Georgian two years ago, but did it in convincing fashion. Slattery was outpunched and outgeneraled except for occasional flashes and was on the verge of a knockout in the 7th round under a barrage of terrific right hooks to the jaw. Slattery fought on the defensive almost from the start to finish, but even his shiftiness failed to keep him out of the way of Stribling's rushes and driving attack to the head and body." -Associated Press
