Cutting from The Ballarat Independent - June 1896....Peter Jackson earns a sloppy decision over an out-of-shape Joe Goddard in front of a huge crowd at Sydney Stadium...Both men are cautioned for excessive clinching and hitting after the bell and Goddard loses points for low blows....South Afrika's Bakari Olokun fails to impress with a narrow decision over a stale-looking Steve O'Donnell....Bill Doherty surprises the mob by holding off rising star Des Quinlan and forcing a stoppage by referee Arthur Scott....Sid Russell looks good in dominating veteran Ned Callahan before knocking him cold inside the distance....
