This one strikes me as a bit of an upset:

[MW] Harry Peppers 19-2-1 (13) (UD 10) Jack Dempsey 22-3-0 (13)

And - regarding Ruby Robert and The Chrysanthemum, was it even close, or did Fitzsimmons run away with it?
Dempsey has been a big disappointment since reaching the main division. I figured him a clear favorite to take the title.

Choynski/ Fitzsimmons was a one-sided fight. Choynski was dropped twice and by the end of the fight was cut up and swollen. I was shocked he went the distance.
Scorecards:
David Mendoza 146-139
Raul Caiz Jr. 145-138
Leo Johnson 143-140


I like Burley's punching power but a good boxer will wipe the floor with him everytime. He has won his last two fights so his next opponent will be a big test.
