1921 BW Title Bouts

WBA

Pete Herman CH (34-3-1) vs Johnny Coulon #1 (45-7-6)

Herman has won 11 in a row since his last loss (in 1918 to Coulon); Coulon enters the bout with two wins and a draw in his last three.

Herman looks sharp early and takes round one. Both men fight outside; Herman dominates action. Herman moves inside but suffers a cut below the right eye in round four. Coulon is suffering, however, as both his eyes show signs of swelling. Herman outslugs Coulon who cannot make progress on the inside in round five. Herman uses his jab effectively, taking round six. Herman continues to pound away, and the swelling around Coulon's eyes worsens, leading to a TKO stoppage. Herman by TKO 10 (swelling).

Pete Herman CH (35-3-1) vs Carl Tremaine #14 (16-1)

Herman agrees to fight Tremaine, the CBU Champ, in Toronto. The Canadian is coming off a UD 10 over EBU titleholder Robert Dastillon.

Herman comes on strong at the end of a close opening round. Tremaine tries his luck on the inside, but Herman dominates the round from the outside. Herman inflicts more punishment in round three, where both men battle away on the inside. Herman continues to pile up points while Tremaine is ineffective. The rest of the bout is fairly routine, and it extends Herman's unbeaten streak to 13. No KDs, Herman by UD 15 (147-138, 147-138, 150-136).

Pete Herman CH (36-3-1) vs Jack Kid Wolfe #9 (27-12-2)

Third meeting of the two, who split two prior bouts; Wolfe handed Herman one of his three losses (via TKO) back in 1914. Wolfe is coming off a USBA title win over Abe Goldstein.

Herman takes a close round one, building to a strong round two from the outside. Wolfe tries to get more aggressive, but Herman's superior hand speed dominates the action and impresses the judges. Wolfe tries to stage a late rally, but in the end the bout is not as close as the unofficial cards showed. Herman by UD 15 (147-140, 148-139, 148-139).

Pete Herman CH (37-3-1) vs Kid Williams #3 (37-11-1)

Rematch of a 1919 draw between the two, except Williams is now at Post, for this fifth bout between these two long-term rivals.

After a close round one, Williams finds Herman's strong defense tough to penetrate. After an even round three, more defense and counterpunching give the Champ the edge in round four. Williams tries to get more aggressive in the middle rounds, with mixed results. Herman piles up the points and coasts in the later rounds to another UD win (145-140, 144-141, 146-139).

Pete Herman CH (38-3-1) vs Philadelphia Pal Moore #10 (43-16-4)

A fifth defense in 1921, and once again Herman faces a familiar rival -- Philly Pal Moore who is 0-3 versus Herman, losing a title match in 1920.

After a quiet opening round, Herman gets to work and slowly builds a points lead. Moore has a strong round four, and keeps it close in round five. Both work inside in round six, a solid one for the Champ. Moore plugs away, keeping the bout close into the late rounds. A strong shot from Herman stuns Moore in round 13. The bout goes the distance with no knockdowns. The scores are surprisingly close: a SD 15 for Herman (145-141, 142-144, 147-139).

NABF: Memphis Pal Moore began 1921 with the belt and defended versus Wolfe, the USBA Champ, by breaking open a close bout by controlling the action in the middle rounds, coasting to a comfortable UD win. Memphis Pal then turned aside a challenge from George Marks, scoring a KD midway through en route to another UD victory. Then Frankie Burns took advantage of a cut above Moore's eye and won via TKO in round 7 (cuts stoppage) to take the belt. Finally, Abe Goldstein got a title shot and took full advantage, pounding out a lopsided UD 12 win to become the new NABF BW Champion. Goldstein then defended late in the year versus Little Jack Sharkey, who suffered swelling and cuts and was not able to contend with Goldstein, enabling Abe to waltz to a UD 12 win.

USBA: Wolfe started with the belt and took on a tough Abe Goldstein. Wolfe nursed an early lead and converted it to a UD 12 win in a close bout. Wolfe then took on veteran Eddie Campi, who started out as the aggressor but tired badly in the later rounds -- Wolfe by UD 12 once again.

CBU: Carl Tremaine did not defend the CBU belt in 1921.

GBU: Brit Joe Fox took on long-time FLY Champ Jimmy Wilde, and Wilde dominated from the start, flooring Fox twice in round five and scoring a 6th round TKO to take the belt.

EBU: Dastillon took on Fox for the belt, unleashing a powerful attack in round 4 that had Fox down three times in the same round for a TKO win.
