Butler wins non-title bout
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.
February 6, 1910
Joe Butler (CH) (32-7-2) scored a UD10 over MW Jack Fogarty (UR/23) (10-4-1) in a non-title (weight-adjusted) bout, just a month after winning the WBA Lightheavyweight title.
Fogarty seemed to be outmatched by Butler's experience (Fogarty at pre) but gave a game fight. The fight was almost stopped due to the excessive swelling of the left eye of Fogarty which started in the second round.
Fogarty went down in the 4th, and was being pummeled in the 7th when he landed a shot from out of nowhere that dropped Butler. butler was back up quick and seemed to have no lingering effects as he won the rest of the rounds.
I had it 98-91, while Jaret Morgan, ringside, had it 97-92. The official judges had it 97-91/97-91/95-93.
