Title Bout
BW - Charles Ledoux (10/5) (21-2) came from behind to win a UD12 over Kid Williams (18/24) (14-2) (pre) to retain the EBU BW title for the 3rd time.
Ledoux was knocked down in the 9th and appeared to be pretty far behind on all score cards. The champ battled back winning the final 3 rounds including scoring a knockdown in the 12th and final round.
I had it 114-112 as did one of the official judges, the other two had it 115-111 and 114-113.
