Welterweight

Joe Walcott (22-0-0)(20)(#4) TKO4 Young Corbett (23-3-1)(11)(#5)

Corbett made no allowance for the reputation of Walcott. He came to fight and it paid of in the first minute of the scrap. He slipped a punch from Walcott and landed a left hook to the chin of the 'Barbados Demon'. Walcott found himself on the canvas for the first time in his career, he got to his feet quick enough and saw out the rest of the stanza.

That was as good as it got for Corbett, Walcott stepped away for the next six minutes and took control of the fight, landing right hooks and crosses with ease.

The end of the fight came in the fourth round. Walcott upped the ante and hammered his opponent round the ring. Halfway through the round he landed four huge unanswered body shots and the fight was stopped.

Walcott's backers stated that their man was likely to make a journey to London to face the recently recrowned domestic Champion Tommy West, it would be 'The Demons' first fight away from the USA.
