Title Fight

MW - Frank Klaus (CH) (27-6-1) survived a late rally by Stanley Ketchel (CH/2) (33-9) to retain the WBA MW title and win the WBC MW title by SD15.

Ketchel dominated the early portion of the fight but had some swelling of his right eye. Klaus started to take over in the 8th as he dominated the next few rounds. Ketchel's eye was completely shut the second half of the fight (Maroon). Klaus dropped Ketchel in the 12th. Ketchel rallied to win the 13th and the 14th was anybody's round. Ketchel dropped Klaus twice in the 15th and thought he had done enough to win.

I had it 142-141 for Ketchel, the official scorers had it 142-140/140-142/140-141. Ketchel was the victim of some questionable scoring. In the 8th all three judges gave Klaus a 10-8 round despite no knockdowns. (I did too but surprised all 3 judges did). The judge who scored it 141-140 also called the 12th a 10-7 round despite Ketchel losing the round 28-10 and being down only once.

Title Tourney

MW - William Sheriff (7/4) (17-0) (pre) defeated Eddie McGoorty (14/23) (27-5-1) by TKO2. McGoorty broke his hand in the second round and couldn't continue.
