[mh2365]

Well an exciting month wasn't really expected with only two title fights. But then both titles changed hands, including our first Unified Champ to lose the title.

Jack Johnson took away the IBF title from Peter Jackson. Jimmy Briggs stunned the LBA by taking away the WBA and WBC titles from Jem Driscoll.

Several fighters moved and several debuted in the rankings this month. I am only going to list their intial WBA rankings now since that is the one I use the most.

Moving divisions (all club to main)

HW - Pat Kieley (18-18-1)

LH - Mike Boden (10-1-2), Joe Craig (5-9-1)

MW - Johnny Douglas (10-0-2), Dave Kurtz (6-6-3)

WW - Tom McAlpine (10-3)

LW - James Curran (10-5)

FW - Johnny Crowe (10-3-1), Eddie Pierce (9-5-1), Yankee Schwartz (10-1-1), Joe Tipman (8-6-1), Jimmy Hill (10-2-1)

Debut Rankings

HW - Billy Tate (8-6-1) (51)
HW - Jim Williams (10-5) (45)
HW - Jim McCormick (13-2) (19)
LH - Billy Stift (11-4) (14)
LH - Joe Craig (5-9-1) (6) (odd ranking due to the new ranking system starting all unranked fighters at a certain #, he then won one fight so his pp # is inflated plus there isn't alot of talent at LH. Easy tradeoff considering how good the new ranking system is, he'll drop quickly with a loss)
MW - Kid Broad (11-4) (25)
MW - Jack Fogarty (10-4-1) (24)
MW - George Gunther (11-4) (28)
MW - Dave Kurtz (6-6-1) (18) (once again these 4 were unranked and then fought once under the new system to get ranked, Kurtz won his fight the other 3 lost)
WW - Bartley Connolly (10-3-2) (14)
WW - Matty Baldwin (10-4-1) (16)
WW - Jimmy Mitchell (8-7) (17)
