Australia - Lightweights - Final
Final:
Herb McCoy 5-1-0 (4) vs Aussie Jack McAuliffe 8-1-0 (8) - With McCoy making the finals for the first time after a disappointing first tourney and McAuliffe making his second straight final, where he was defeated soundly by Katsidis, this was expected to be a close one, with McCoy the slight favorite. It started a bit slow, with McAuliffe seeming to hold the edge when he dropped McCoy in the 6th round. He seemed to take control for good from there, scoring another knockdown in the 9th, then again in the 14th round. This one went the distance, with the judging being, shall we say "interesting" as they had it 142-141, 146-136 and 145-139 for the winner by unanimous decision, McAuliffe. McAuliffe improved to 9-1-0 (8) heading into the World Tournament as he went the distance for the first time in his career.
