Atkins was again the winner, securing the only fall in the match. This was obtained in the seventh round. Corbett twice sent his opponent sprawling with flying tackles, but at the third attempt he ran into a heavy jolt which sent him to the mat. Atkins quickly" grasped the American's legs and applied a boston crab, to which Corbett submitted.
