December 11th, 1906

#4 John L. Sullivan (23-5) scored a KO12 over Champ James Jeffries (26-3) to win the LBF Heavyweight title.

Neither fighter came in with a defensive plan as the both started dropping bombs in round 1. It went back and forth with Jeffries getting the edge winning back to back rounds in the 5th and 6th. Sullivan started carrying his hands low in the 5th.

Sullivan came back strong winning the 7th, 8th, and 9th. Jeffries right eye began to swell in the 8th. Jeffries won roun 10, then got dropped in the 11th.

Jeffries appeared groggy coming out of his corner for the 12th and Sullivan jumped on him. Dropping him twice, the second time for good. Jeffries went down 3 times in this fight, he had only been down twice in his previous 28 fights.

I had it 105-103 Sullivan at the time of the KO. Jeffries landed 52% of his punches and Sullivan 60%. No defense at all.
