1922 BW Title Bouts

Javier, that last FW Title Bout was a bit of a controversial decision, but given that Kilbane was already at Post-Prime, his days as Champion were probably numbered. But as I mentioned, I doubt Julian will keep the title for long no matter who the challenger turns out to be. There was also a new Champ in the BW Division, again partly because of an "over the hill" defending Champ.

WBA

Pete Herman CH (39-3-1) vs Joe Lynch #3 (25-7)

First meeting of the two, and Lynch is coming off a successful campaign where he captured the NABF and USBA titles -- winning his last five.

Lynch gets off to a strong start in round one, and Herman looks sluggish. Both work outside in round two, which is a close round. Lynch moves inside in round three, but the edge goes to the Champ. Herman does well fighting inside in round four. In round five, Lynch is the aggressor, stopping Herman in his tracks with a powerful hook. It's 48-47 for the challenger on the unofficial card. Lynch presses the attack in round six, and a strong combination puts the Champ on the deck for the first time. Lynch dominates the action in round seven but can't follow up on his success in round six. Toe-to-toe action in round eight sees another strong round for the challenger. Herman, seeing his title slipping away, gets more aggressive in round nine, and he manages to slice open a cut above Lynch's left eye. Herman targets the cut and does well in round ten. The unofficial scorer has Lynch ahead by 97-93 heading into the final five rounds. After an even round 11, Herman takes round 12. The Champ continues to press in round 13, but is nailed by a Lynch uppercut for the second knockdown of the bout. That takes the wind out of Herman's rally, and while he lasts the distance, the result is a foregone conclusion. Lynch by UD 15 (145-139, 145-139, 155-139) to take the title.

Joe Lynch CH (26-7) vs Memphis Pal Moore # 2 (32-9-2)

No prior meetings. Memphis Pal is carrying a three-bout win streak into the bout, including a TKO win versus former Champ Johnny Coulon.

Action is slow to develop due to a long feeling-out process. Moore starts to assert himself near the end of round two. Moore moves inside and staggers Lynch with a hook to the head in round three. Lynch comes back with a strong inside effort of his own to take round four. Round five sees both men work inside and some good, close action. The unofficial ringside expert has a narrow 48-47 edge for Lynch at this point. Lynch skillfully mixes an inside and outside attack to build a points lead in the middle rounds. Memphis Pal's left eye shows signs of swelling by the end of round 11. The bout wears on, and it's a predictable UD 15 for Lynch (145-141, 146-139, 145-140) who retains his title.

NABF: Abe Goldstein defends versus Lynch, who enters the bout with the USBA title. Midway through round two, Lynch decks Goldstein who cannot beat the count. Lynch then vacates the belt, and Kid Williams is matched with Goldstein for the vacant title. Williams pulls ahead in the early rounds, but Goldstein comes on strongly in the second half of the bout and takes a SD 12 to recapture the belt.

USBA: Jack Kid Wolfe defends versus Lynch, who puts Wolfe on the defensive and then coasts to a UD 12 win. Lynch vacates the title and it's Kid Williams versus Philadelphia Pal Moore, but we don't have a new titleholder as the bout ends in a majority draw. Then Coulon and Wolfe are matched for the USBA belt, and Wolfe pounds out a solid UD 12 win. He then defends versus Williams, in a bout punctuated by a severe clash of heads in round eight, but very little action otherwise-- the result being a draw. Wolfe's final effort of the year is a defense versus Frankie Burns, whom he dominates but can't knock down in a solid UD 12 win.

CBU: Canadian Carl Tremaine defends versus Aussie Vince Blackburn, who keeps the bout close and manages a MD 12 win after an 11th round knockdown. There's rematch in Australia and Tremaine turns the table on Blackburn, slicing open a cut and scoring three KDs en route to a UD 12 win. Tremaine then takes on a young Brit, Johnny Brown, who proves to be too much, targeting a cut on Tremaine's forehead that leads to a late stoppage. Brown by TKO 11 on cuts, and the musical chairs effect continues as the CBU title changes hands for the fifth time in five title bouts.

GBU: No action as the title remains dormant for another year.

EBU: Frenchman Robert Dastillon gives Brown a title shot, and the younger man surprises Dastillon by decking him early in the fight with a big uppercut in round three. Dastillon battles back, however, to put Brown on the deck in round seven. The result is a draw, enabling Dastillon to keep the title. He defends versus Joe Fox, who holds his own and pushes Dastillon, who is lucky to escape with a SD 12 verdict.
