Mh, what do you do when you move a guy up ? -- in my game at least, Attell is rated only at the lower weight class (FW) so when I moved him up to meet Harlem Tommy, I had him still at FW (using those ratings) but with the "adjust for weight class" box checked which probably contributed to Murphy's success against him.

9. Brooklyn Tommy Sullivan 41-18-5 (24) (678) (-8)
10. Young Corbett 42-21-4 (23) (660) (+2)

Comments: All at Prime except for the last two-- Brooklyn Tommy is at Post and Young Corbett is at End. Attell lost about 500 perf pts for losing that one bout against Harlem Tommy Murphy, but he still leads the FW group by a healthy margin. The loss to Murphy snapped a 23 bout win streak and a 28 bout unbeaten streak that stretched from Jan. 1906 to July 1913 -- over 7 1/2 years!! Attell still has a great streak going -- 21 straight successful defenses of the WBA FW title. Kilbane, despite his lack of success versus Attell, managed to hold onto his NABF belt and defeated Aussie Joe Russell, a fringe fighter, at the end of 1913. Walsh, who will reach Post-Prime in 1915, captured the USBA belt and managed a draw versus Kilbane; he was unbeaten in 1913, posting two wins and two draws (the other draw coming against EBU titleholder, Kid Julian). Brannigan was 2-1 for the year, all close decisions: a SD win over Dundee, a SD loss to O'Keefe, and MD over Grover "Battler" Hayes. Kid Julian, the EBU champ, zoomed up the ranks with three wins and one draw, scoring a UD 10 win over BW vet Frankie Neil in addition to a draw with Walsh. Leo Johnson held his spot with a 3-1 year, losing to Attell but following up with wins over Elliott and Cove after taking a SD from Corbett earlier in the year. Dundee impressed with wins over Hayes and Brooklyn Tommy. Moran won the CBU belt and also beat George "KO" Chaney, but was held to a draw by France's Eugene Criqui. Hayes slipped a bit, dropping decisions to Dundee and Brannigan and posting only one win, over BT Sullivan. Brooklyn Tommy appeared to be fading fast, going 0-3 in 1913 with no wins since Feb. 1912. Corbett seemed rejuvenated, by contrast, blasting out wins over Kline and KO Chaney.

Other Notables: Eugene Criqui debuts at #11; he has compiled a 15-1-2 (9) mark and boasts wins over Chaney (KO 7) and Snailham and Dastillon (both UDs). Ex-CBU champ Percy Cove tumbled from #4 to #12, losing to O'Keefe and Leo Johnson; he's now winless in his last four. Eddie O'Keefe dropped 9 spots to #14, losing one bout on a controversial foul. KO Chaney found the going tougher than expected, winning only 2 of 5 bouts, being felled by Criqui and losing to Moran and Corbett. Other first-timers in the list include Tommy Dixon at #19 with a 11-4-3 (6) mark (Dixon defeated Crowe in 1913 but lost to Love) and Lee Johnson at #22 with a 11-3-1 (4) record, who lost to Steve Sullivan and Joe Russell.

Prospects: Steve Sullivan, who has built a solid 12-2 (4) record, is the top prospect, losing a MD to Dundee and then an unfortunate TKO loss to Patsy Kline; he registered wins over Billy Elliott and Lee Johnson, two rated boxers. KO Mars is 10-0 (3), all versus TCs, however. Frankie Ellis of New Zealand took his first loss to Australia's Jimmy Hill, so his mark is now 10-1 (2). Battling Reddy lost to Sullivan and Kline but took a split decision from Snailham to go 9-2-1 (2).

Retirement:

Harry Decker (USA) 1900-1913 24-22-7 (10) No Titles Highest Rank: 12

Looking Ahead: Not sure Kilbane is eager for another confrontation with Attell, and Walsh would relish a rematch with Johnny after that technical draw in 1913. Kid Julian would probably be the next logical contender for Abe's belt, given his recent strong outings. Brannigan, Leo Johnson and Dundee need to step up and prove themselves now that all have reached Prime career stage. Criqui is angling for a shot at the EBU title. Steve Sullivan will probably be testing the waters a bit more in 1914. Two new faces, Ansell Bell of Panama and Willie Ames of the USA, are set to enter the fray in 1914.
