Johnson starts a new defense streak ... in other news Lee MaCrae needs an eye examine
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.
April 26, 1910
Jack Johnson (CH) (37-2) won his first defense of the IBF HW title with a MD15 over Dominick McCaffrey (4/4) (28-10-3).
Fairly dull fight with Johnson dominating the early rounds, McCaffrey stealing a couple in the middle and then Johnson holding off a late rally. No cuts, knockdowns or swelling in the fight.
I had the fight 144-141 Johnson. The official judges had it 144-142/143-143/145-140. Our ringside expert, Lee Macrae, spent a little too much time at the open bar tonight and ruled in favor of McCaffrey 146-139!!!!!
On the undercard
LH - Larry Temple (18/17) (16-3-2) KO8 Gunner Moir (22/25) (9-13-1)
LW - Young Erne (40/30) (13-6) UD10 Jimmy Carroll (26/34) (17-14-5) 97-94 (Erne at pre, nice win for erne)
LW - Patsy Sweeney (21/18) (13-11-2) TKO10 Arthur Douglas (38/42) (11-6) (douglas at pre)
FW - Jimmy Anthony (UR) (7-5-1) TKO5 George Phalin (UR/34) (8-7) (both at pre, Anthony stepped up to FW for this club fight, Phalin moved to main)
LW - George Monroe (UR) (9-11) UD8 Mike Cushing (UR) (11-23-5) (monroe at pre, cushing at post for this club fight, Monroe still trying to even his record to get to the main division, on his 15th he was 5-10 so he had to stay in club)
