Title Fights
LW - Abe Attell (CH) (39-12-3) scored a SD15 over Harry Lyons (8/10) (36-19-1) for his first defense of the WBA LW title. It was the 6th time the two have met and they are 3-3 now.
Attell built a big lead early, then held on despite a big rally by Lyons late in the fight. There were no knockdowns or cuts. I had it 143-143, the official judges saw it 143-141/141-144/143-141. Lyons was penalized a point in the 4th for hitting behind the head.
BW - Harry Tenney (8/CH) (25-7-3) survived a late scare to win a UD15 over Terry Edwards (CH/9) (15-1-2) to win the IBF BW title.
Tenney dominated the fight scoring a knockdown in the first round. He was cruising until he got caught and dropped twice in the 13th. Edwards didn't have enough left to finish him off though. Tenney knocked Edwards down in the 14th and won the UD. I had it 145-137 as did two of the official judges, the third saw it 145-136.
