McCready, by a submission fall gained with his octopus deathlock in the sixth round, won the bout, but he finished writhing on the canvas as the last gong struck. He was a lucky man not to have had the contest drawn. The culmination came exactly one minute before the end of the last round, when Jaget Singh stood up with a ferocious Indian deathlock fully applied, but, playing to the gallery, he i'ailed to put on sufficient pressure. MoUroady held out to the gong and was carried to his corner, where a dislocated kneecap was pulled into place.
