Title Fight
FLY - Johnny Hughes (1/CH) (19-4-6) became the first two-time FLY champ with a DQ14 win over Sid Smith (CH/7) (18-8-2). Hughes recaptures the WBA FLY title that he lost to Charlie Hayes. Considering Hughes (rated 7) has lost twice to Hayes (4), Hayes may be his mandatory challenger.
Hughes dominated this fight and Smith seemed to foul just to get out of it. He was penalized twice before being DQ'd. Smith was winning some rounds but had been down in the 3rd and the 6th. I had it 124-120 at the stoppage and Smith had lost that previous 3 rounds.
Title Tourney fight
MW - Billy Papke (2/2) (27-5) shook off a lackluster performance in time to win a UD12 over Jimmy Murray (17/19) (17-5-1) in the first round of the WBO title tourney.
Papke and Murray were even after 8 but Papke won the next few rounds including dropping Murray in the 11th to take the fight.
I had it 115-112 as did two official judges while the third had it 114-112.
