The Irish former world heavyweight champion from Galway Maher made the relative unknown Morrissey pay that night in New York for deeming to enter the ring with him, knocking out the novice in the 1st round.  Battling in only his 2nd pro fight on the undercard at the Lennox Athletic Club, "Wild Bill" Hanrahan took down the undefeated Dillon when their bout was stopped in the 2nd.
