  • Referee: Frank Wilson

McCormick was down for two counts in the first from heavy rights to the jaw. In between these knockdowns he dropped Hank. In the second Hank again dropped McCormick for a count of "8." With his face crimson red, McCormick boxed on the retreat and scored well over the aggressive Hank. As the bout progressed McCormick overcame Hank's big early lead by cooly boxing on the retreat. In the final two rounds McCormick stood toe to toe with Hank, eventually gaining the upper hand to gain a well deserved points win from referee.
