COMPETITION



Round of 16


Wells and Holberg split the judges over the course of the first three rounds. The referee declared a fourth round, which Wells won in a contest with involved much grappling rather than punching. Bouvier was knocked down several times by Holmes before the referee stopped the contest. Jessup dominated his match, with Osborne not lasting past the first round. Grace, Spiller, and Johnson each won by decisions varying in closeness.


Quarterfinals


Spiller had the easiest time of it in the round, nearly eliminating Jessup in the first. The second round saw Jessup counted out. Grace and Wells fought a defensive bout, without either receiving much punishment. Johnson won a tight bout with Holmes by referee's decision.


Semifinals


Grace took a bye in the semifinals and Spiller's easy win made the round an uneventful one.


Final


Each boxer went to the mat in the second, but Grace piled on more hits than did Spiller to win the bout.
