Excerpts from The Ballarat Independent August 1906...Ern Waddy has improved considerably since his first encounter with Jack Howard some years ago, and his footwork and feints completely nonplussed his opponent...Both men entered the ring at Sydney Stadium in splendid condition prepared for a hard go over the twelve round distance...Waddy weighed in at 13st 7lb without an ounce of superfluous beef, while the champion was a solid 13st 11lb...In the first round no real harm was done on either side, both men sparring, and each getting the measure of the other...Matters took a turn in the second round, when Waddy feinted then landed a terrific right on his opponent's ear, causing him to reel on unsteady legs...Howard seemed to recover and fended off the younger man's assault...The men continued to mix matters in the third and fourth rounds, but it was clear Waddy was landing the more effective blows...The fifth round saw the sudden end as the Adelaide lad forced matters, and after shooting a stiff left to the body, swung his right, which landing on the jaw sent Howard to the canvas...He managed to come up at the end of 8 sec, but a short uppercut jolt to the head put Howard out on his back where referee Arthur Scott delivered the full count, then raised the hand of the new Australasian heavyweight champion...In the only preliminary, Sid Neilsen (Sydney) won on a technical knockout over Bill Walsh (Melbourne) seconds into the tenth round...Neilsen, dubbed "The Great Dane", now has an enviable record of 16 wins, just one loss and two draws, and is now ranked third amongst challengers for Waddy's title, behind only Jack Howard and Empire champion Colin Bell by the ANZBF...At Melbourne Stadium visiting American heavyweights Al Palzer and Joe Bonds lost to Bill Turner and Archie Greaves respectively...At Sydney's Golden Gate Club Pat Doran (13st 9lb) was awarded the win over American Jack Lester (13st 12lb) when the fight was stopped because an accidental clash of heads in round 4 opened an ugly gash on Doran's forehead that bled profusely and forced the stoppage by referee Joe Cullen in round six...An examination of his scorecard caused Cullen to award the fight to Doran on points accumulated prior to the stoppage...At Kalgoorlie Miners Institute, George Cook outpointed veteran Jim Griffin over six rounds and Jim Tracey took the decision over favourite Harold Hardwick over the same distance...Cook looked sharp as a razor but Hardwick appeared overconfident and under-trained...Albert Kid Lloyd won against Jack Darcy last evening but did not look impressive doing it and was panned by the press of his home state for a visibly lackadaisical effort...Lloyd needs to up his game and fight tougher opposition...Dave Hawkes the Queensland newcomer won accolades from ringsiders for his points sweep of the more experienced Bert Russell on Monday last...Hawkes looked the ring wise professional as he easily took all six rounds with fast and accurate punching...

Ticket for the sold out 12 round elimination contest between Joe Jeannette the ABA heavyweight champion and Luther McCarty the NABF heavyweight champion for a shot at world champ Sam Langford...In accordance with the wishes of the IBU, neither title will be at stake...New York referee Patsy Haley will be the third man in the ring...Each participant has been guaranteed $10,000 with the winner to receive 25% of the gate...Estimated attendance is 16,000...The semi windup will pit Jim Coffey "The Roscommon Giant" against Bill "KO" Brennan scheduled for ten rounds...Three six round matches fill out the card...Jeannette is 33 years of age with a record of 34-8-5 (21) and McCarty is 22 with a record of 23-0-2 (11)...McCarty is a slight favourite due to his age advantage...Luther is expected to enter the ring weighing 208lbs while Joe should be roughly 198...

From the sports section of The Los Angeles Herald August 1906...Plenty of controversy this week in boxing circles as two decisions in important contests are hotly debated...Referee Patsy Haley called the Luther McCarty-Joe Jeannette elimination fight a draw and was roundly booed by much of the paying customers at Newark City Stadium...A quick straw poll of reporters covering the bout had a clear majority calling it for McCarty, most had it six rounds for McCarty, four for Jeannette and two even...Joe was down for an eight count in round two and was in serious trouble in round 9...Rumours ran that the promoter had paid Haley to call it a draw so he could stage a lucrative rematch...The other bad call came in the Carl Morris-Jeff Clarke fight on Monday when referee Walter Kelly gave the verdict to Morris, despite the fact Clarke easily out landed him 2 to 1 and had him reeling like a drunkard in round 10...Kelly ruled a knockdown when Clarke clearly slipped in round 2...Kelly left the arena immediately after the verdict was announced amid a torrent of insults from those who had wagered on Clarke...In the main preliminary to the McCarty-Jeannette match, Jim Coffey (202) steam rolled Bill Brennan (204½) who must have left his fight in the gym, as he showed nothing...He suffered a cut in round 6 and another in round 8, and lost round five for an obvious low blow...At Clermont Avenue Rink in Brooklyn Fred Fulton was unimpressive taking a 4-3 decision over Boston's Bartley Madden with three rounds scored even...Fred seemed to lose heart when he couldn't put Madden away in the first four rounds...Fulton weighed 210¼, Madden 189...At Cleveland's Arena big Jess Willard put Alf Langford on the canvas three times in round two to secure the win, and over in New Orleans, young Harry Wills knocked out journeyman Tom Riley inside two rounds...A promoter there wants to match Wills and Willard, but may have to wait in line as promoter Sunny Jim Coffroth wants Willard to meet Tom Cowler here in Los Angeles...In an unusual turn of events the IBU has debuted Harry Wills at No.11 in their world rankings, seemingly on the basis of his 15-0 record since December of 1901...At Tattersall's in Chicago Billy Miske fulfilled a contract in stopping Oakland's Dave Mills in six rounds and expects to head north to meet Canada's Charlie Robinson at Winnipeg...
