Main Event
FW - Will Curley (10/CH) (22-9-3) scored an easy UD15 over Billy Whistler (CH/6) (16-16-7) to win the IBF FW title. Whistler has won a title twice in his career and lost it in his first defense both times.
Curley cut Whistler over the right eye in the 4th and it pretty much took all the fight out of the champ. Curley cruised from there on out, losing only the 14th round.
I had it 147-138, the official judges saw it 147-138/147-139/146-139.
Regional Title Fight
LH - Mike Boden (15/15) (15-2-5) (USBA) fought to a DRAW12 against Billy McColl (24/24) (16-13-1) (CBU) in the IBO title fight. Due to the draw the title will remain vacant until next December.
Boden was down in the 5th, but came on strong at the end winning the final 3 rounds to even things up. I had it 114-114 as did two of the judges, the third saw it 115-113.
Other fights
LW - Dave Holly (8/5) (20-8-8) scored an easy UD10 over Jem Carney (66/78) (24-18) (post). Carney has seen better days and he couldn't muster up one last performance in this one. Both eyes were swollen but he wasn't cut or knocked down. I had it 99-91, the official judges saw it 99-91/96-94/98-92.
LH - Irish Gorgas (UR) (12-0) (pre) scored a MD10 over John Miller (51/57) (10-9-2) (pre) to remain undefeated. Gorgas was down in the 4th and had to win the last two rounds to eek out this victory. I had it 96-95, the official judges saw it 96-95/95-95/97-94.
