Lee Savold (1-1 1) vs. Frankie Swindell (2-2 2) – Savold had issued this challenge, and then Swindell lost to Keith McKnight in a prior round challenge, meaning McKnight was supposed to fight in Swindell’s place. Lee decided to take on both men, as he wanted to whup up on Swindell and prove something.

Savold was cut on the left eyelid at the inception of the fight, and his corner was worried that he was snake-bit!

Frankie blasted a combination in to arguably take the opener, 10-8. Lee came roaring back in the 2nd, with a laser left. Swindell got a huge straight right in, but Lee connected on 14 hooks and 10 uppercuts, winning, 18-8!

Frankie rebounded in the 3rd. Lee was issued his second warning, and landed 8 hooks, but Frankie found the range with some big power punches, an uppercut, a cross and a scorching hook that wobbled Savold at round’s end, winning it 17-7! Lee lashed out in the 4th, bashing Frankie with a cranium-cruncher, but his cut was reopened and checked, and then Frankie floored him for an 8 count with a combination just before the bell, making the round Frankie’s, 13-12. 2 ½ great minutes of boxing were undone that quickly!

The 5th was a good action round, Swindell slightly getting the better of things, 13-10. A gonzo cross from Savold rocked Frankie to start the 6th, and Lee connected with 11 hooks and 9 jabs to win easily, 15-4. Needing the 7th, Savold could only rally in the last half minute to make it respectable, 9-6, and the fight was starting to get away from him.

Swindell socked Lee with a massive hook in the 8th, and held on to win a close affair, 11-9, but his right eye was swelling. Savold smashed a hook home to start the 9th, withstood a jarring uppercut, and came back in another close one, 8-6. Going all out in the 10th, with Swindell covering up, Lee connected and put him down.

As the crowd roared, Swindell got back to his feet at the count of 7, and just hung on. Savold won clearly, 9-0, as Frankie showed no offense, but was it enough?

I had it 95-94, Swindell the winner by an eyelash, the color commentator had it a draw, 95-95! Lee had landed more punches, 248-185, but not many power punches. The judges went 95-93, 95-94 & 96-92(?), the winner by a unanimous decision, Frankie Swindell! Savold was disappointed at the decision, but then left to plan his second bout of the night!

Keith McKnight (6-2 3 vs. Lee Savold (1-2 1) – Savold hoped to do better in the nightcap, while the Fighting Knight was on a roll, having pummeled Swindell. Based on their common opponent, McKnight should win, but no one counted tough Lee Savold out, in particular his Bear fan from Shy-town!

Lee opened with a sizzling cross, and Keith answered with a nice hook, but Savold was a little better overall, taking it, 9-6! They exchanges hooks all through the 2nd, McKnight getting a few more home, and he evened the contest, 12-8! The 3rd was a letdown, McKnight getting a big left home, but Savold boxing a little better, winning a close one, 9-7.

The 4th was a huge round for McKnight, as he landed 51 blows! A gonzo hook backed Lee up, then Keith crashed a cross home, and a cranium cruncher that would have floored most fighters. He kept landing his hooks around these punches, and dominated, 26-8!

Keith landed another laser hook early in the 5th, some lighter punches, and then blasted one home to the body, and the tough Savold crumbled! He got to his knees, then stood up, but fell back, gasping for breath, and McKnight was declared the winner by a KO at 1:17 of the 5th! Lee was dejected at losing twice in one night,

but did compliment McKnight on his punching power!
