"Jack Sharkey, Brighton, won the decision from Jim Maloney of South Boston in a 10 round bout here last night. Sharkey took every round but the 3rd and 5th, and forced the fight in every round. He kept up a merciless pounding, playing mostly for the head, with now and then a stiff jab in the ribs at close quarters. By the 10th frame his mauling tactics had his opponent groggy. Maloney was on the ropes through most of the final round with the house yelling wildly for the knockout, but the bell halted hostilities before Sharkey could put over the finishing punch. Sharkey fought under the handicap of a gash over his eye which Maloney opened with a glancing jab in the 3rd round." -Associated Press
