Peter Jackson has the choice of 3 top ten contenders to face in Feb. 1902. Jeffries, Johnson, and Tom Allen.

He decided on Allen. Not only did it give him an easy first defense but he had already beaten both Jeffries and Johnson. Peter felt he had nothing to prove to those two.

Jackson came out lethargic and split the first two rounds with Allen. Allen looked pretty sharp and fought the 3rd round fairly even.

At the beginning of round 4, Jackson landed a brutal shot to the eye of Allen which immediately opened a cut. The referee halted the action and consulted with the ringside doctor and called the fight. Just like that it was over.

Allen had started his career 3-0 which had him ranked 10th. It's unlikely he will ever get another shot. It's too bad it had to be stopped on one punch.
