1917 WW Title Bouts

WBA

Art Magirl CH (22-2) vs Packey McFarland #1 (36-2-3)

Magirl faces his toughest challenge to date, taking on the #1 contender and current NABF champ. First meeting of the two; it is McFarland's third try at the WBA title.

Magirl stuns McFarland with a strong shot in round one. Magirl presses the attack in round two, and he succeeds in bloodying the cheek of the challenger. Magirl follows up in the third round, and both of McFarland's eyes start to swell. McFarland comes back with a strong fourth round, and it's a good action round, with Magirl's left eye starting to swell up. McFarland tries to work inside in round five, but he is still bothered by the cut, which continues to bleed. After five, a clear edge (50-45) for Magirl. McFarland makes a major effort in rounds six and seven, stepping up the pace, but can make no impression on the Champ. The Oklahoma Whirlwind presses his advantage as McFarland starts to tire. A strong uppercut for Magirl forces McFarland to cover up in round nine. This great action fight lasts until round 13 when Magirl breaks through with a knockdown and then follows up with a KO. Magirl by KO 13.

Art Magirl CH (23-2) vs Jack Britton #1 (40-6-3)

Magirl takes on the three-time former Champ, Britton. First meeting of the two.

Not much action in round one. Britton, working on the inside in round two, establishes his jab and has a slight edge. Magirl is more aggressive in round three, but the "Boxing Marvel" keeps him at bay with some strong defense. Round four sees the tide turn in favor of the Champ, who puts Britton down with a solid hook, plus Britton also sustains a cut above his left eye. Magirl puts Britton on the defensive in round five, as Britton is protecting the cut. Britton lands a big uppercut but Magirl counters with a three-punch combination just before the end of a close round. Round six, the cut above the challenger's eye is reopened and becomes a major problem for Britton. The ref consults with the ringside physician who agrees with the decision to halt the bout. Magirl by TKO 6 (cut).

Art Magirl CH (24-2) vs Willie Loughlin #6 (17-0)

The unbeaten Loughlin is offered a WBA title shot, but is the youngster over his head, despite 15 KOs in his 17 wins.

The action is slow to develop, but beginning in round two the Oklahoma Whirlwind begins to connect with regularity, and Loughlin is on the defensive. A solid cross from Magirl in round four has Loughlin covering up to survive the round. Magirl follows up with relentless pressure in round five, and Loughlin's left eye starts to show signs of swelling. Loughlin tries to get more aggressive but Magirl is able to use his jab to keep Loughlin at bay. Finally, in round nine, Magirl catches Loughlin with a good shot that finishes the challenger's bid. Magirl by KO 9.

NABF: McFarland defended the belt he has held since 1910 once, taking on Kyle Whitney. McFarland is cut below the right eye, but pounds away, repeatedly beating Whitney to the punch and finally finishing him off with a 10th round KO.

USBA: Britton gives Jimmy Clabby his first title shot, surviving a strong start by the challenger, gradually taking charge and scoring a solid but close UD 12 win to defend the belt.

CBU: Johnny Basham defended versus Aussie Fred Kay, coming on strongly after a slow start to coast to a comfortable UD 12 win. He then defended versus fellow Brit, veteran Johnny Summers, applying constant pressure and scoring a late KD to sew up another UD 12 verdict.

GBU: Ted Kid Lewis started the year with the belt, defending it versus Summers. Lewis dominated the early rounds and was cruising to an apparent victory when Summers staggered him with a crushing hook in round 9. Summers' late rally was sufficient to claim the belt with a MD 12 win.

EBU: Frenchman Albert Badoud defended against the CBU champ, Basham, and found himself trailing after Basham put him on the canvas in round 4. Badoud made a late surge, putting Basham on the deck in the final round, enabling Badoud to maintain the title with a UD 12 win. Badoud then took on the Dane, Dick Nelson, a former WBA champ. Nelson dominated the early action and dropped Badoud in round ten. A cut above the right eye of Badoud was sliced open and led to the stoppage a round later. Nelson by TKO 11 (cut).
