Driscoll humiliates Snailham
I am going to list the before and after rankings now on the fight cards listed as (before/after) all rankings will be the WBA rankings unless it's a title fight for another organization. Also I will list my scorecard on the fights I watch in bold.
January 14, 1910
Jem Driscoll (WBA/C) (34-5-1) told everyone who would listen that Billy Snailham (3/4) (15-3) wasn't ready for him and then went out and proved it.
Driscoll almost pitched a shutout in route to a UD15, in a fight that should have been stopped around the 8th. Snailham's right eye started to swell shut in the third and was red in the 7th and the 8th. By the 10th it was red to start the round. Somehow the fight wasn't stopped.
Snailham was down once in the 10th and twice in the 14th. In the 15th Driscoll stayed away from the challenger and said after the fight that after taking a beating like that Snailham deserved to finish the fight.
I had it 149-133 as did Shane Macleod ringside. The official judges had it 147-135/149-133/148-134. Driscoll landed 577 to Snailham's 153. Driscoll also landed 64% of his punches to Snailham's 13%.
