Boxing at the 1908 Summer Olympics – Middleweight

Reginald Baker from Australia (competing on the Australasia team) won three before losing to Johnny Douglas in the final.

Aspa managed to make it through two rounds before withdrawing due to a thumb injury.

The one bout that did go all the way was between Philo and Murdoch, which was such a tight contest that the referee had to break the judges' tie.

Baker defeated Philo quickly, while Douglas took two rounds to put Warnes away.

The two fought well, with Douglas's knockdown of Baker in the second a major factor in the Briton's win.
