Yanger gets his revenge
September 12, 1912
Title Fight
FW - Benny Yanger (14/CH) (25-4) one month after being disqualified in the first round came back to win an easy UD15 over Oscar Gardner (CH/5) (26-7-1).
Yanger won the first nine rounds including knocking Gardner down in the 4th, then pretty much just stayed away from the champ the rest of the way. I had it 146-138, while the official judges had it 148-136/145-139/146-138.
