John L. Sullivan vs. Alf Greenfield (2nd meeting)

John L Sullivan beat Alf Greenfield by PTS in round 4 of 4

• Date: 1885-01-12
• Location: Institute Hall, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
• Referee: Jimmy Colville

This is a rematch of a bout fought two months earlier. The previous bout had been interrupted by New York police in the second round when it was apparent that Greenfield was taking a beating.

In this fight, Greenfield did his best to avoid all contact with the champion. He nearly ran around the ring in an effort to keep away and, when Sullivan drew dangerously near, Greenfield simply clinched. He lasted the scheduled four round distance, but the small crowd in attendance booed both champion and challenger.
