On 31-March-1903, Young Corbett II defended his world featherweight championship against Terrible Terry McGovern at the Mechanic's Pavilion in San Francisco. Corbett won by a knockout in the eleventh. This was their second fight of three. Corbett won the first two and the third was a draw. I don't know why the ad calls it a lightweight fight.
McGovern had lost the title to Corbett in 1900.

The next month, the Lubin company released a film of the bout. I don't know how they could fit eleven rounds on one reel unless it was highly condensed.
