George Dixon's fights with McCarthy were said to have been what established him as a top fighter, and is important to the backround of the Dixon Wallace fight I am ever so slowly typing up, so I think it'd be interesting to have more on McCarthy.

A glove fight for the feather weight championship Lancashire took place last night at the Lyceum Theatre, Pembroke-place, Liverpool the competitors being T. Tooley, of Manchester, and Sylvie Burns, of Liverpool, the stakes being £20, and the conditions the best of ten rounds. Both men are well known, and great interest was evinced the contest, which was witnessed by a very large audience. Captain Somers was the referee. The first round was pretty evenly fought, but in the second Tooley showed much superiority, flooring his opponent twice. In the following rounds, although occasionally Burns put in some hard hits, he was usually receiver-general and the decision of the referee in favour of Tooley met with universal approval. There was lot of betting on the result, and much disappointment was shown the local division of sportsmen st the defeat Bums.
