The Spike: or, Victoria University College Review, June 1921

Heavy-Weights. — McKegg (O.U.), 11 st. 6 lb, v. McRae (V.U.C.). 11 st. 10 lb

Heavy-Weights.

McKegg (O.U.), 11 st. 6 lb, v. McRae (V.U.C.). 11 st. 10 lb.

This fight proved interesting enough, though both boxers showed an inclination to punch for the face and neglect the body altogether. McKegg left his body open on many occasions, but McRae was slow to see his advantage. McRae opened the fighting with a straight left to McKegg's face. Clinches followed, which, as the fight went on, became more akin to wrestling than boxing. A fourth round was ordered. McRae livened up considerably, but, apparently, the judge considered his tactics wild, and gave the decision to McKegg.
