Raphael won by a good margin, being absolutely too clever for Jock at close quarters. Creighton failed to show any of his old time form at all, excepting in the last three rounds when he lambasted the Frenchman for all he was worth to the body at close quartera.

On three or four occasions, the pair wrestled ench other around the ring, twice nearly falling out of the rings From the seventh on, Jock commenced doing the leading and working in close, gave the Frenchman plenty to think about.
