The Cow Palace in San Francisco hosts round one of the UoLBA tournament, pitting the best heavyweights in the world against one another to determine the first UoLBA champion. Each fighter winning his opening 12 round match in this two night affair will advance to round two, held at Berlin's Olympia Stadion next Friday and Saturday night.

SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1890 - Frank Slavin (20-2) vs. Duncan McDonald (22-0) Frank Slavin, a fighter of solid pedigree, is the favorite o of most ringsiders in the know. McDonald, a surprise entrant in the tourney, gets the berth primarily on the strength of his TKO win over Joe Goss in March. The fight goes very much according to script, with Slavin winning the first three rounds handily. In the fourth, a solid right hand sends McDonald to the canvas for the first time in the contest, but it was all that was needed, as McDonald does not rise by the count of 10. Slavin wins by KO.

Jake Kilrain (19-1-1) vs. Jack Boylan (21-0-0) This was the most entertaining fight of the evening, as both fighters were aggressive from the outset. After 4 rounds, Boylan carried a lead of merely one point on each of the Judges cards. But in the fifth, things took an unexpected turn. The round began to unravel for Boylan when he was pointed for rabbit punching Kilrain at the top of the frame. Then with under 10 seconds in the round, Boylan was flagged for head butting Kilrain. The referee decided the headbutt was flagrant and disqualifies Boylan. Kilrain advances to meet Slavin in round 2.

Tommy Chandler (20-0-2) vs. Jack McAuley (20-1-1) McAuley, a virtual unknown at the outset of the year, put himself on the map with his TKO of Pete McCoy in April. Chandler, a solid pro from the US, fight to a draw in his last outing with John Morrissey. This fight goes the distance, with neither fighter in any real trouble throughout. The fight goes to the cards, and the Judges find for Chandler.

John Dwyer (22-0-0) vs. Fred Crossley (19-2-0) Crossley had the misfortune of meeting the only fighter he had faced thus far in 1890. Dwyer decisioned Crossley in February in a match at Olympia Stadion. This time, the fight stayed close until the 8th, when Dwyer dropped Crossley to the canvas three times to earn a TKO victory and the opportunity to meet Tommy Chandler next week in Berlin.
