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.
