Jeannette completes title run undefeated

July 22, 1908

Joe Jeannette (16-0) survived a knockdown to score a KO10 over champ Dominic McCaffrey (21-8-3) to win the LBC Heavyweight title.

Jeannette dominated the fight from the opening bell winning 5 of the first 6 rounds.

McCaffrey showed a little life dropping Jeannette in the early part of round 7, but Jeannette covered up effective and survived the round.

Less than a minute into the 10th, Jeannette dropped the champ with a left hook and McCaffrey couldn't beat the count.

I had it 86-84 Jeannette at the time of the stoppage.

On the undercard

WW - George Cole (6-7-3) UD10 William Sullivan (8-3-1)
MW - Frank Craig (23-10-2) UD10 Jack Moffat (10-7)
BW - Frankie Neil (14-17-2) UD8 Jack Foy (5-3-1) (Neil at post, Foy at pre for this club fight. Foy stepped up to BW)
FW - Frank Zimpher (6-1) UD8 Young Byrnes (6-4) (both fighters at pre for this club fight)
MW - Bill Slavin (3-20-2) UD10 Dick O'Brien (3-13-1) (Slavin at end for this club fight ... embarrassing loss for O'Brien)
