There were three entrants in this class, with the final coming down to George Mehnert winning a decision over Gustav Bauer. Mehnert had also won the AAU Championship in this class in 1903. Bauer would win the title from 1905-07, when Mehnert moved up in weight and was the bantamweight champion, with Mehnert winning again as a flyweight in 1908. That qualified Mehnert for the 1908 Olympics, and he defended his gold medal there, one of only two 1904 Olympic champions who competed in London, along with Jack Niflot.
