Title Bouts
BW - George Dixon (CH) (37-11-1) successfully defended his WBC BW title for the 2nd time with a TKO10 over Jimmy Barry (13/14) (20-5).
Dixon dominated the fight except for the 4th round. Barry's left eye started swelling in the first round and he went into KO mode. He almost got it in the 4th when he dropped the champ twice but couldn't finish him. Dixon picked him apart the rest of the way until the eye was completely shut and the fight was stopped in the 10th.
I had it 87-82 at the stoppage.
HW - Frank Mantell (31/19) (23-8) scored an easy UD12 over Paul Samson-Korner (20/31) (20-4) (pre) to win the EBU HW title. Mantell should have never been in the fight due to already having 30 pro fights, but an oversight by the commissioner will allow the fight to stand.
Mantell was too experienced for Samson-K and won easily. I had it 118-110, the official judges had it 118-110/118-111/117-111.
