Luther McCarty 205 lbs beat Fireman Jim Flynn 194 lbs by NWS in round 6 of 6

• Date: 1913-04-16
• Location: Olympia A.C., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

"McCarthy led throughout the fight and frequently compelled his opponent to clinch to avoid his vicious straight left jabs. Although he appeared to be outclassed from the start, Flynn, the Pueblo fireman, rushed into clinch after clinch and succeeded in landing many blows on the champion at close quarters. McCarthy, however seemed to be in the pink of condition and was not affected by Flynn's hooks. (...) With straight jabs he pounded away at his opponent's face. At the end of the first round Flynn's nose was bleeding, in the second round his mouth was cut and before the close of the bout one eye was nearly closed." Indianapolis Star
