1913 LH Title Fights

WBA

Jack Dillon CH (22-1-2) vs Bob McAllister #2 (19-3)

Both men enter the bout having won their last five in a row. Only prior match (in 1910) resulted in a TKO win for Dillon.

Early rounds saw the usual feeling-out process. McAllister stays mainly only the outside, content to let Dillon dictate things from the inside. Dillon scores well in round 6, landing a big hook near the end of the round and there's swelling outside the left eye of the challenger. Round 9, McAllister returns the favor, getting more aggressive, and leaving Dillon with some swelling about his left eye. Round 10, another strong one for the Champ. In round 13, Dillon opnes a cut above McAllister's right eye while the swelling about the left eye worsens. McAllister pours it on in the last few rounds, securing a draw which is enough for Dillon to keep the title. Split draw (142-143 McAllister, 143-142 Dillon, 143-143 even).

Jack Dillon CH (22-1-3) vs Dave Smith #5 (19-2)

Dillon takes on the CBU champ, Aussie Dave Smith, who suffered two recent losses to Carpentier and McAllister. Dillon is heavily favored.

Jack "the Giant Killer" Dillon dominates the early rounds, firing away from the outside. Smith's right eye starts to swell as early as round 3, showing the accumulated effect of Dillon's punches. Smith has a good round 7, and Dillon exhibits some swellin under the left eye in round 8. Both connect well in the 8th, a good action round. Dillon continues to pile on the pressure and Smith has no response. Dillon by UD 15 (147-139 on all three cards).

Jack Dillon CH (23-1-3) vs Leo Houck #7 (29-11-4)

Previous meeting, for the NABF belt in 1911, resulted in a draw. Since then Houck has struggled, losing two of his last three, but he was the only legitimate top LH contender available, so he fights Dillon for the belt.

Dillon starts well, landing crisp punches to take the opening rounds. Dillon continues to pile up a lead into the middle rounds, outboxing an increasingly desperate Houck. No knockdowns as Dillon dominates the bout from start to finish. Dillon by UD 15 (144-141, 145-140, 146-139).

Jack Dillon CH (24-1-3) vs Jack "Twin" Sullivan #1 (40-20)

Dillon now faces the top-ranked contender, NABF champ Sullivan, who gets his second shot at Dillon's WBA belt, having lost by TKO a year earlier.

Dillon once again looks sharp in the early going. Sullivan tries being more aggressive but Dillon's defense is solid. Sullivan's right eye starts to swell midway through the bout. Sullivan tires early, and Dillon coasts to another UD win. Dillon by UD 15 (144-140, 145-140, 143-141). No KDs, bout didn't seem as close as scores would indicate.

NABF: "Twin" Sullivan defended twice, first against perennial contender John Wille, who suffered a severe cut above the right eye which led to a premature stoppage. Since it was ruled an accidental butt, they went to the scorecards and it was a UTD win for Sullivan in the 10th. Next up was Bob McAllister, who appeared to be having the better of it until a severe cut above his right eye led to a stoppage. Sullivan by TKO 9 (cut) -- McAllister is looking for a rematch.

USBA: Charlie Haghey entered the year with the belt, but he faced Battling Levinsky, a man who defeated him in a non-title bout a year earlier. Haghey was cut above the right eye and Levinsky outboxed him for a lopsided UD win to take the belt. Levinsky defended against washed-up veteran Fred Cooley, whom he dispatched via KO in 5. Then it was a match with ATG, ex-Champ, Phila Jack O'Brien, and the aging vet had enough left in the tank to take the title from the younger man, dominating the last three rounds for a UD 12 win. Then O'Brien capped the year off by taking on Howard Morro, whom he dominated early but then Morrow rallied as the older man ran out of gas. O'Brien barely hung on for a SD 12 win (115-113, 113-114, 115-114).

CBU: Aussie Dave Smith defended the title he won last year in a rematch with British TC Chruck Carrick, and it was a one-sided affair resulting in a TKO 2 for Smith.

GBU: TC Carrick still holds the belt, despite no defense since 1911.

EBU: Long-awaited title shot for Frenchman Georges Carpentier, who dethronred the defending veteran George Gardner, in what proved to be the final bout for Gardner. Carpentier opened a severe cut above the left eye of Gardner in the 4th and eventually the cut was reopened, resulting in a 7th round TKO for Carpentier. Passing of the torch to the younger man in this one.
