First Round: After shaking hands they closed in slowly and almost immediately the crowd yelled for the referee to break them apart. Moran protested that Wolgast was �butting� and the crowd jeered; Wolgast broke a clinch with two powerful lefts to the jaw and they mixed it, each fighting viciously. They went to close quarters, with Wolgast hooking his left viciously to the jaw. Then he cut the Briton�s mouth with a volley of short arm lefts. A hard body blow by the champion closed the round, which was Wolgast�s favor.

Second Round: Moran�s supporters shouted at him to keep away, but the Englishman rushed in. Wolgast rocked his head with short arm punches and paved the way for a volley of lefts by sending rights to his stomach. Moran, fighting back gamely, sent Wolgast across the ring with a hard right to the jaw. Wolgast was cut on the nose as Moran followed his advantage by clipping the champion several times with hard lefts and right punches to the face and head. Moran�s round.

Third Round: Wolgast covered up, crouching low, and missed a terrific left swing intended for the jaw. They roughed it head to head, but scoring frequently while in this position. Wolgast almost floored his man with a left swing to the jaw and then closed in, lashing out with left and right. Wolgast sent three lefts in succession to the body and received in return a stiff right to the jaw. This round was even.

Fourth Round: Wolgast�s right eye was badly discolored and Moran�s mouth was cut as they toed the mark. Moran shot a stiff left to the face and again they roughed it, with their arms locked. Wolgast was doing the greater execution. Moran drove a straight right to the jaw and then clouted the champion with a left to the same place. Wolgast sent a right with great force to the body, and they seemed disinclined to break from the clinch. Wolgast hooked a left to the body and drove the Briton against the ropes. They were quickly back in the center of the ring fighting like tigers. Wolgast�s seconds taunted Moran, to which the Britisher replied, �He won�t get me to-day,� and then protested vigorously to Welsh that the champion was intentionally �elbowing� him. Moran had a shade the best of this round.

Fifth Round: They clinched, with Wolgast uppercutting to the face with right and left. Moran jarred the champion with a short arm right to the jaw. Wolgast swung wildly, and Moran rammed him twice more with rights to the face. A long clinch followed, Wolgast breaking it with a hard right to the face. They danced about the ring, and Wolgast landed twice to the jaw with short arm rights. Wolgast seemed the stronger as the bell ended an even round.

Sixth Round: The fighters slowed a bit at the outset of the round, and then Moran shot a straight left to the face. They went to close range, Wolgast landing several rights over the kidneys. They fought at a hot pace against the ropes, each scoring repeatedly. Then followed a smart long range rally, both landing lefts to the face, and both were badly cut at the mouth. Moran breaking from a clinch rocked the champion�s head with a right hook, and the round ended with the men mixing it at a fast clip. The round was about even.

Seventh Round: Up to this stage Moran apparently had landed the clean punches but seemed to be the weaker of the two. They at once went into a clinch, and a heart-breaking rally followed, Moran having much better of the wicked exchanges. Wolgast crowded Moran against the ropes, the Englishman making a determined stand. Welsh finally parted them for the first time. Wolgast, steadying himself, ripped uppercut after uppercut to the body with telling effect, and Moran reeled across the ring to the ropes. Wolgast shot a left to the jaw that sent Moran against the ropes, and the bell ended a round much in favor of the champion.

Eighth Round: (Paper error lists Sixth Round).- Moran found Wolgast�s face thrice with his left. They clinched, and Wolgast drove his right powerfully to the kidneys. Moran almost sent the champion through the ropes with a rush and then, went nearly through the ropes himself from the force of his onslaught. Wolgast drove a terrible left to the stomach and followed it with right uppercuts to the jaw. Wolgast again cut the Briton�s mouth and Moran wilted like a leaf. Wolgast sent in a storm of blows, following his man about the ring and using both hands with equal facility. Moran went to his corner with a crimson face and appeared to be in (?o?e) straits. Wolgast had all the better of the round, with Moran tiring.

Ninth Round: Wolgast chatted with friends about the ring during the minute�s rest. At the gong he rushed to closed quarters sending his right to the kidneys. Moran retaliated with two straight rights to the face and the champion swung back wildly. However he landed several hard rights and, lefts to the stomach and the round close with the fighting at an awful pace. Wolgast almost sent the Englishman through the ropes with heavy punches, but Moran came back gamely and scored frequently on the body. Another rally followed, with both fighters apparently suffering from the hurricane pace. Wolgast had the better of the round.

Tenth Round: Wolgast forced the issue, but was met with a straight right on the jaw, and they slowed up. The champion then swung his left to the jaw and almost sent the Englishman through the ropes with right and let to the body and face. Moran brought the crowd to its feet when he met Wolgast at his own game, beating him to the punch and starting crimson from the champion�s mouth. Wolgast slowed up perceptibly and they rested in a clinch. Moran swung a hard right to the jaw and they were in another slashing rally when the bell clanged. It was Moran�s round and he was cheered to the echo.

Eleventh Round: Moran opened with two lefts to the face and a moment later shot two more to the same place and escaped a return. They clinched and exchanged rights to the face. Moran after blocking several rights drove left to the face. Wolgast countered with slashing body punches, but Moran did not give way an inch. The Briton swung right and left to the jaw and cleverly escaped the champion�s vicious assaults. It was Moran�s round and he appeared to be gaining strength.

Twelfth Round: They clinched, hammering away at each other�s body and face. Wolgast sent two right uppercuts to the body. Moran then shot a straight left to the face and another to the nose, Wolgast retaliating with two forceful body punches. Moran swung his right to the jaw at long range and quickly followed it with a left to the same mark. Wolgast started Moran�s mouth bleeding with a hard right just as the bell rang, and the Briton shook out a tooth. Even round.

Thirteenth Round: Wolgast rushed desperately and finally forced the Britton into a corner. They had not been fighting thirty second when the champion shat his right with terrific force to the pit of the stomach. The impact of the blow was heard clear across the arena. Quick as flash, Wolgast sent two more rights to the stomach and, as Moran began to fall, a left hook found the jaw. Moran went to the floor with his mouth open and his eyes glassy. He was counted out while in a recumbent position.
