In recent years has there been such a
demonstration of elf-preservation as
both men showed. Their defense in all
cases was perfect, even more so than
their offense
Mcfarland was the more speedy but
Murphy was more clever at in-fighting.
Murphy's left hand. which is highly
cultivated for the work he had ahead
of him, bothered Packey continually.
He was accurate with his jabs and
hooks and stopped Mcfarland several
times with rapid fire punches from the
off-side. Murphy landed almost at will
with this left, but did little or no
damage.

Mcfarland scored clean knock
