Johnson regains HW title
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 13, 1910
Jack Johnson (1/CH) (36-2) scored a SD15 over Peter Jackson (CH/1) (31-6-1) to win the IBF Heavyweight title.
Johnson knocked down the champ in the 3rd, and then had to rally to win the last two rounds to win the fight. Jackson dominated the middle rounds and seemed to be back in control of the fight and may have rested to easy in the last two rounds.
Johnson's left eye started to swell in the 12th, and Jackson's right eye did the same in the 14th.
I had it 143-142 Johnson. Ringside expert, Mark Moe, had it 144-140 Johnson. The official judges had it 141-143/144-140/143-141. All of us had Johnson winning the last two rounds.
