Notes

Tunney won the newspaper decision." (Nevada State Journal and Chicago Tribune. According to the St. Paul Pioneer-Press, Tunney won eight rounds..There was not a moment, however, when Delaney was convinced that the winning punch was not waiting for him..He forced the fighting most of the way, did most of the leading, for which he received many a solid counter blow, and finished at his full strength, bleeding above and below his left eye and from his lips" Delaney won the first round by a slight margin, and did his best work in the third.."After the third round, one round was very much like another, as Delaney was consistently on the aggressive but Tunney was too strong for him and hit more solidly." There were no knockdowns..The gate was $20,352.
