Aurelio Herrera (13-6) won back the LBC Featherweight crown with a KO8 over Young Corbett (15-13-4) in a rematch of their controversial April bout.

Corbett who was hurt by Herrera's power in the first 3 rounds of the April fight tried to stay on the outside this time. He won the first round. Then Herrera pounded him in the second. The 3rd round was close and then Herrera took over the fight.

Corbett when down in the 4th and Herrera clobbered him once he got up. Both of Corbett's eyes were swelling by the end of the round. The next two rounds were close but Corbett's eyes continued to swell and he was cut under his left eye.

Herrera almost had Corbett out on the ropes in the 7th as Young was saved by the bell. Then Herrera dropped him for good to start the 8th.

On the undercard (good one)
HW - Joe Choynski (25-9-1) UD10 Dick Matthews (8-2)
MW - Billy Papke (13-0) TKO9 Kid Broad (8-1) (battle of unbeatens, Papke looking real good)
WW - Kyle Whitney (12-2-2) SD10 Terry Martin (11-1) (both fighters down, I thought Martin did enough to win)
LW - Arthur Douglas (8-0) UD8 Harry Stone (6-2) (both fighters at pp for this club fight, Douglas moves to main)
MW - Denny Kelliher (14-16-3) KO9 Tommy Chandler (12-20-2)
