    • Washington Post, March 24, 1895:

    "Philadelphia, March 23.—Young Griffo bested Jerome Quigley, of this city in a four-round bout at the Southwark Athletic Club to-night. The men started to 'mix it up' in the first round, and the Australian soon proved his superiority at this style of fighting. Griffo's straight left-hand punches landed on his opponent's face in rapid succession in the second and third rounds, and in most instances he got away without a return. Griffo used a straight left almost entirely during the bout, and in the second round he had Quigley bleeding freely at the nose. The local made a fair showing in the last round, landing an upper-cut soon after the call of time, and forcing Griffo to the ropes in an interchange of blows. No decision was rendered, but Griffo would have been entitled to the verdict had one been given."
