September 16th, 1906

Joe Gans (23-1-1) won a UD15 over #3 Jewey Cooke (7-3-1) in a very non viewer friendly fight.

With both fighters known for defense it was a tactical fight that Gans won because Cooke ran out of gas. It was a back and forth fight for the first 12 rounds and then Gans knocked an exhausted Cooke down in the 13th and then won the 14th and 15th to retain his title.

This was Gans 12th title defense.

I had it 145-141 and did Tom Trunzo ringside. The official judges had it 144-143/145-142/144-141.

On the undercard

LW - Freddie Welsh (8-0) UD10 Andy Bowen (12-15)
HW - Dick O'Brien (2-1) UD6 Jem Stewart (4-13-2) (O'Brien fought as a beginner in this club fight)
