    Notes

    • "If Phil Scott lives up to his word he was knocked out tonight for the last time. While weighing in for his match with Larry Gains, Phil announced he would never fight again if he lost to Gains. An hour or so later Gains, 205 1/2, knocked out the former British champion in two rounds. A right to the chin folded Phil, 213, up for nine in the 1st and another finished him one minute after the start of the 2nd." -Associated Press
