Choynski Retains Title With Draw
September 10, 1906
Joe Choynski (20-7-1) fought to a DRAW15 with #1 Jack Root (21-6-1).
Boos rained down when the decision was handed out. Everyone in the building thought Choynski had done enough to win the bout, despite getting dropped in the 3rd round.
Choynski was only down for a 3 count and then was cut over the left eye in the 7th. After Joe won the first 3rd of the fight, Root seemed to take control in the 2nd 3rd, winning rounds 6,7, and 8.
But then Choynski took over winning 5 of the last 7.
I had it 144-142 Choynski. Mirco Mizera ringside had it 146-139 Choynski. so we were definitely surprised when it came back 144-141C/ 142-143R/ 143-143.
