Middleweight

Billy McCarthy (26-4-2)(12)(#4) MDec10 Jack Dempsey (28-4-2)(18)(#2)

McCarthy (below) rolled back the years to produce a major upset in front of the New Orleans crowd.

It was thought pre fight that Dempsey would still have too much for his fellow veteran opponent, but the Irish born former World Champ took an age to get going and McCarthy took advantage.

The Australian built up a big points advantage which forced Dempsey to throw caution to the wind in the last three rounds. However his efforts were not enough and McCarthy held on by the skin of his teeth.

The victory has earnt McCarthy a World Title elimination bout against the winner of the Harry Mace versus Mike Lucie contest.
