March 1910 Title Fights
Very good month here in the LBA. Not only are there 5 solid title fights but also 8 bouts in title tournaments (so we may see 13 fight cards).
MW - WBA Frank Klaus (16-6-1) vs. Stanley Ketchel (3) (25-5) (first meeting)
MW - WBC Charles McCoy (25-8-3) Vs. Eddie McGoorty (4) (16-2) (first meeting, McGoorty at pre)
WW - UT George Cole (WBA) (11-7-4) vs. Joe Gans (WBC) (29-4-3) (cole won a MD15 in August of 1909)
LW - UT Jack McAuliffe (33-5-2) vs Frank Erne (9) (17-5-2) (first meeting, McAuliffe avoids being stripped of the WBC title)
BW - WBA George Dixon (29-7-1) vs Al Delmont (2) (18-8-2) (Delmont won by TKO2 in April of 1905)
Not an easy fight for any defending champion this month. I can see titles changing hands in each and every fight.
