Main Event
MW - Billy Papke (CH) (24-4) scored a last second KO15 over Jake Ahearn (8/11) (16-1-1) (pre) for his first defense of the IBF title. Ahearn's CBU title was not on the line.
Papke controlled the fight but Ahearn made a pretty good show of it. Ahearn started carrying his hands low in the first round. Papke won 5 out of the first 6 rounds to get a comfortable lead. Ahearn slowly started to land punches though and won a couple of the next rounds. Ahearns left eye started to swell in the 11th and he was starting to tire.
At the end of the 14th Papke caught Ahearn with a solid punch that dropped him. He never really recovered as he went down 4 times in the 15th. Finally being counted out with :01 left on the clock.
I had it 136-130 at the stoppage.
Other fights
HW - Joe Choynski (37/12) (34-10-1) (post) got himself back into the mix with a KO2 over Joe Jeannette (3/18) (24-4). Jeannette won the first round then got KO'd by one punch in the 2nd. Jeannette's year is over and it wasn't a good one as he went 1-3. Choynski fought at Prime thanks to the new OG rule.
WW - Kyle Whitney (11/9) (18-5-5) scored a big SD12 win over Joe Walcott (7/11) (26-16-6) to move into the top 10. It was a very close fight with Whitney taking the final three rounds to get the win. Walcott had a swelling right eye from the 2nd on and Whitney was down in the 6th. I had it 114-113 Whitney, the official judges had it 114-113/113-114/114-113.
FLY - Grover Hayes (2/1) (16-0-1) (pre) scored an easy UD10 over Jim Donald (11/11) (11-11-1) to remain unbeaten and move into the #1 spot. Hayes won the first 7 rounds and then danced his way through the final 3. I had it 98-92. The official judges had it 96-94/98-92/98-92.
LH - Battling Levinsky (UR) (13-0) (pre) pitched a shutout in a UD10 win over Arthur McLaglen (13/19) (15-4) (pre). Levinsky won every round and there were no knockdowns, cuts, or swellings. I had it 100-90 as did all 3 judges.
