1920 BW Title Bouts

WBA

Pete Herman CH (29-3-1) vs Eddie Campi #3 (32-8-3)

Campi won a prior bout (UD 12) when Herman was still at Pre back in 1916.

Both are off to a slow start in the opening round, slight edge to Campi. Herman bounces back quickly, dominating the action in round two. Campi's left eye starts to swell, and he tries to get more aggressive but Herman continues to gain the upper hand. Herman builds a points lead and gradually wears Campi down in the second half of the bout. Herman is able to coast through the final rounds, registering a decisive UD 15 win (147-137, 147-138, 147-137).

Pete Herman CH (30-3-1) vs Phila Pal Moore #6 (39-13-4)

Third meeting of the two, Herman winning both prior bouts in 1916. Moore downed Kid Murphy via TKO to set up the title shot.

Herman looks sharp early, and by the end of round one there are signs of swelling around the left eye of the challenger. Herman dominates the early action from the outside, taking rounds two and three. Phila Pal comes back to keep things close in rounds 4 and 5. Moore gets more aggressive as the bout wears on, but Herman's defense is solid. Moore stages a late rally to make the bout close, but the result is another UD 15 for Herman (145-144, 146-141, 143-141).

Pete Herman CH (31-3-1) vs Jack Kid Wolfe #9 (25-10-1)

Wolfe enters the bout having won three in a row, plus he owns a TKO win over Herman back in 1914, when Herman was at Pre-Prime.

Herman looks sharp early, adding to his edge for a 49-46 lead on the unofficial cards after five. Wolfe gradually steps up the attack, and his aggressiveness pays off when Herman sustains a cut above the right eye in round 7. Some good cornerwork keeps the cut under control, even though it is re-opened twice later in the fight. Herman maintained his composure throughout, registering another UD 15 win (149-136, 145-140, 147-138).

Pete Herman CH (32-3-1) vs Robert Dastillon #9 (19-5-2)

Herman travels to Italy to take on Dastillon, the newly crowned EBU Champ. First meeting of the two.

After an even round one, Dastillon tries to work inside in round two -- edge to Herman. Herman then comes back, pressing the Frenchman on the inside, causing the challenger's right eye to start swelling. After a couple of more strong rounds for Herman, Dastillon tries to get more aggressive, without success. The Frenchman tires, and the swelling gradually worsens. Herman dominates, winning by a TKO in the 12th as the ref saves Dastillon from further punishment.

Pete Herman CH (33-3-1) vs Memphis Pal Moore #5 (26-7-2)

Herman takes on Memphis Pal, the NABF Champ, whom Herman defeated back in 1914.

Herman looks sharp early, taking the first two rounds. Then Memphis Pal steps up the pace, landing the more telling blows in rounds 3 and 4. Herman responds with a strong round 5 to regain control. The Champ piles up a points lead as an ever more frustrated Memphis Pal Moore gets more aggressive in an effort to land a haymaker or close the gap. Once again, Herman dominates and coasts in the later rounds -- taking another UD 15 decision (146-139, 145-140, 147-138) for his seventh successful title defense, his fifth in 1920.

NABF: Memphis Pal Moore defended versus Joe Burman, building an early lead while Burman was able to offer little to test him -- UD 12 for Moore. Later, Abe Goldstein challenged for the NABF belt, and once again a strong start for Moore proved to be difficult to overcome, but the close SD 12 verdict for Moore was a bit of a surprise to some.

USBA: Frank Burns defended versus Packey O'Gatty, who pulled ahead in the later rounds as a swollen left eye bothered Burns. UD 12 for O'Gatty. O'Gatty defended the belt versus Indian Russell, building a strong lead and surviving a Russell cross in round 9 that forced O'Gatty to cover up. Another UD 12 for O'Gatty. Finally, it was Jack Kid Wolfe's chance, and while Wolfe sustained a cut over the eye, he landed a strong shot and went on to best O'Gatty in a UD 12 to take the belt.

CBU: Flyweight Tancy Lee vacated the belt, paving the way for a title bout between Brit Joe Fox and Canadian Carl Tremaine. Tremaine started well, keeping Fox off balance. He staggered the Brit in round three and finally finished him off two rounds later. Tremaine by KO 5.

GBU: After a long dormant period after the retirement of former GBU titleholder Joe Bowker, Joe Fox battled FLY Joe Symonds for the vacant belt. Fox consistently outscored the lighter Symonds to build a solid lead, then hung on to register a UD 12 win.

EBU: The "Little Apache," Charles Ledoux, took on his countryman, Robert Dastillon, for the EBU title. Both men suffer cuts above the right eye early in the bout. Dastillon surprises Ledoux with an overhand right for the bout's first and only KD in round four. The cut over Ledoux's eye gradually worsens, leading to a stoppage. Dastillon by TKO 7 to take the belt.
