Middleweight

Harry 'Dummy' Mace (18-1-0)(16)(#4) UD10 The Black Pearl (13-2-0)(11)(#6)

The California AC were lucky enough to witness a contender for fight of the year.

The 'Pearl' flew out of the traps only to walk into a right hook from Mace and hit the deck. He recovered to his feet but the warning signs were there.

It took the Black Pearl (right) four rounds to get back onside, but he did it in style, hammering home hard right hands. He received an added bonus when Mace (left) was deducted a point for butting.

The fight turned on its head yet again in the eighth round when Mace slung a huge right cross, knocking the Pearl to the canvas for the second time in the contest, he got to his feet but was briefly down again before the bell saved him.

Knowing he was suffering on the scorecards, the Pearl threw caution to the wind in the last two rounds and battered his opponent. When Mace had a second point deducted for butting some at ringside thought that the Pearl had done enough.

The three scorers thought otherwise and awarded Mace a comfortable unanimous decision.
