Jimmy Briggs (2-2) shocked the LBA world with a TKO7 over champion Abe Attell (12-4-1).

Attell was cruising to an easy victory winning 5 out of the first 6 rounds. Briggs was bleeding from the nose and a cut over his left eye. In the 7th Briggs connected with a huge left hook that opened a bad gash over Attell's right eye and the after calling a time-out to have the doctor look at it, referee William Connors called the fight. Chaos ensued in the ring with Briggs' corner celebrating and Attell's protesting.

The LBA commission will meet to decide if there will be a mandatory rematch.

WW - Paddy Duffy UD10 Patsy Sweeney (Sweeney moving up for the loss)
