Main Event
LW - Willie Fitzgerald (9/6) (21-1-3) (CBU) won the new IBO title by scoring a MD12 over Kid Fredericks (13/15) (16-1) (USBA) (pre). This was Fitzgerald's 16th straight win and stopped Fredericks 16 win streak.
Fredericks led most of the fight before being dropped in the 10th. He was cut under the right eye in the first but it didn't really bother him the rest of the fight. Fitzgerald rallied to drop Kid in the 10th and win the 11th.
I had it closer than the official judges at 114-113 for Fitzgerald. The official judges had it 115-112/114-114/116-111.
Regional Title
FLY - First Flyweight regional title was for the CBU title. Jimmy Wilde (UR) (10-0) (pre) cruised to an easy TKO7 over Dai Roberts (UR) (5-1-1) (pre).
Wilde won every round and cut Robert's right eye, swelled it up and then knocked him down in the 6th. I had it 60-53 at the stoppage.
Other fights
HW - Harry Wills (UR) (7-0) (pre) remained undefeated with a UD8 over Watt Adams (club) (5-15-3) (pre). Wills controlled the whole fight cutting Adams in the 7th and knocking him down in the 8th. Only the 5th time Adams has been down so no shame in not taking him out. I had it 80-71 as did all three judges.
WW - Albert Badoud (UR) (11-0) (pre) remained undefeated with a UD10 over Billy West (68/71) (7-8-3) (pre). Badoud dominated the fight knocking West down 3 times. I had it 99-88 as did all three judges.
WW - Joe Gans (3/3) (36-5-3) TKO9 Cy Flynn (78/79) (11-13-2)
LW - Charley White (46/34) (17-10-3) UD10 Sammy Smith (56/66) (15-7-1)
