McCreary was seen as a surprise winnner in this bout. McCreary's "awkwardness and aggressiveness was more than Norfolk bargained for..", according to the Boston Herald. Norfolk concetrated much of his attack on the body, but the Boston Herald felt that he was outfought at long range.
McCreary failed to lift Norfolk's Colored Light heavyweight title, as he weighed in five pounds over the limit for the weight class.
