Jan 1912 Rankings (Perf Pts and Changes from 1911 in Parens)

Champ: Phila Jack O'Brien 53-6-3 (27) (876) (NC)
1. George Gardner 49-12-2 (32) (916) (+1)
2. Leo Houck 28-8-4 (10) (741) (-1)
3. Jack Dillon 17-1-2 (13) (660) (+5)
4. Fred Cooley 24-11-1 (16) (651) (+2)
5. Georges Carpentier 15-0 (14) (644) (new)
6. Jack Sullivan 34-19 (17) (581) (-3)
7. Charlie Haghey 31-19-3 (23) (566) (-3)
8. Battling Levinsky 14-1 (9) (525) (new)
9. Bob McAllister 14-3 (10) (489) (new)
10. John Wille 34-11-3 (22) (487) (-5)

Comments: New talent arrives to replace three TCs in the top ten: CBU and GBU Champ Carrick, who drops 4 spots to #11, is now 26-21-1 (7) with 387 pp. TCs Newhart and Harmon drops four spots also to the #13 and #14 slots, respectively. O'Brien, who had 7 bouts in a row without a loss, moved up to take on two HWs, beating Frank Moran but losing to Denver Ed Martin which accounts for his big drop in the perf pts numbers. Gardner, who is at the End career stage, has won three in a row (versus Sullivan and 2 TCs) after losing his last title bout with O'Brien. Houck recovered from his upset loss to Cooley by defeating Haghey and drawing with Dillon for the NABF title. Dillon remains the top young talent, now at Prime at 20 bouts, with 9 wins and 2 draws since his sole loss back in 1909. Cooley, 2-1 for the year, remains high up in the ranks despite hitting Post-Prime career stage. In fact, of the Top list, only three (Houck, Dillon and Sullivan) will be at Prime heading into 1912, as O'Brien (likely to return to LH after his latest foray into the HW ranks proved unsuccessful) hits his retirement year. Haghey and Wille also hit Post-Prime in 1912 as well, so despite the new blood, the division is showing its age. Carpentier, top hope to succeed Gardner as EBU champ, won 14 in a row all by KO versus TC before stepping up to Wille, who took him the distance (UD in 10 rounds) for the first time. Levinsky's only loss was to McAllister, who seemed overmatched in his USBA title shot versus Haghey.

Other Notables: Howard Morrow debuts at #12, with a 12-3 (9) record, with losses to McAllister, Levinsky and TC Newhart via a DQ).

Prospects: Dave Smith of Australia has now won 14 straight, 13 by KO, to remain undefeated, and is a likely challenger for Carrick's CBU title in early 1912. From there he is expected to test the waters against some real-life fighters. Looking down the road, Brit Harry Reeve, 5-0 (3) all versus TCs, may have his eye on Carrick's GBU belt. Tommy Gibbons is off to a 4-0 (2) start, and Bob Sweeney is 3-0 (2).

Retirements: None in 1911. Gardner is expected to hang up the gloves some time in 1912.

Looking Ahead: Four new boxers enter the ranks in 1912, led by Battling Siki, a Senegalese who will fight in the European ranks.
