Title Fight
WBO - Jack Johnson (CH) (46-3) scored an easy TKO12 over Larry Foley (5/7) (33-10-3) for his 5th defense of the WBO HW title.
Johnson opened a cut over Foley's left eye in the second and the cut eventually stopped the fight in the 12th. There were no knockdowns.
I had it 109-101 for Johnson at the stoppage.
Title Tourney
LHW - Jack Dillon (1/1) (27-1) got back to his winning ways with a UD12 over Alfred Kearns (9/10) (15-2-3) (pre) in the first round of the WBA LHW title tourney.
There were no knockdowns or cuts and Dillon dominated the fight. I had it 120-108 as did two of the official judges, the 3rd gave Kearns a pity round and had it 119-109.
Other Fights
MW - Johnny Wilson (UR) (11-0) TKO5 Lupie Carranza (97/98) (7-6-3) 40-36 (both at pre)
LW - Willie Ritchie (16/15) (21-4-4) MD10 Paddy Smith (106/110) (13-12-2)
HW - Frank Mantell (23/13) (24-8) MD10 Bill "Stroke Me" Squires (88/95) (17-20-1) 96-92 Mantell (Mantell's EBU title was not on the line, Mantell down twice)
HW - Jeff Clark (28/11) (17-3-1) UD10 Peter Courtney (37/45) (22-7-1)
I have no explanation for Mantell and Clark's jump in the ratings.
