Martin wins EBU title
April 8, 1911
Terry Martin (6/5) (20-3-1) scored a TKO7 in a tougher than expected bout against Johnny Alberts (UR) (6-2-2) (Pre) to win the EBU WW title.
Alberts came out strong winning 3 of the first 4 rounds. He knocked Martin down in the 4th. Alberts was also cut badly under the right eye in the 4th.
His flurry trying to end the fight though seemed to wear him out. Martin dominated the 5th and the 6th, reopening the cut in both rounds. Finally the ref stopped it in the 7th as the cut was reopened again.
I had it 57-57 at the stoppage.
