third times the charm for Gans

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 19, 1910

On his 4th try (third against Jackson) Joe Gans (1/CH) (29-4-3) finally won a title in his second weight class. Gans scored a SD15 over Peter Jackson (CH/1) to win the WBC Welterweight title and stop Jackson's 4 year reign as champ.

Jackson came out overconfident and promptly fell behind, losing 4 out of the first 5 rounds. He battled back almost to even but then fell behind again losing rounds 11 and 12. The two split the last 4 rounds and both felt they had done enough to win. Gans had some swelling in his left eye from the 6th round on but other than that there were no cuts or knockdowns

I had 144-141 Gans. George Thorn, ringside, had it 145-140. The official judges had it 142-143/144-141/146-139.

On the undercard

BW - Watty Austin (23/17) (12-12-3) UD10 Harry Tenney (19/16) 96-94
WW - Dixie Kid (22/11) (18-15-5) UD10 William "Spike" Sullivan (27/28) (13-6-2) 98-90
BW - George Wright (UR) (10-3) MD10 Ned Morris (UR/29) (5-8-2) (both at pre)
LH - Jim Hall (club) (16-19-2) TKO7 Louis Lester (UR) (4-8-2) (lester at pre, hall at post, hall stepped up to LH for this club fight)
LW - Yankee Schwartz (UR) (9-1-1) SD8 Kid Farmer (club) (5-19-2) (Schwartz at pre, Farmer at post, Schwartz stepped up to LW for this weight adjusted club fight)
