Brian London (2-1) vs. Dan (Porky) Flynn (2-1-1) – Dan may have won a slow 1st, 6-5, as he got 9 light hooks past London’s gloves. Brian connected on 8 crosses and an awesome hook to take the 2nd, 11-8. Dan boxed nicely in the 3rd, moving well and scoring on a quantity of crosses and hooks for a 12-5 advantage. The 4th was dull, Flynn arguably winning, 6-4, as London couldn’t connect on his bomb attempts.

Porky Dan excelled in the 5th, staying busy as he landed 65 punches

, 16 of them crosses, to take the round, 19-11, but London got in one fine hook at the end in a round where he generally caught leather! London was well behind, and needed a much better 2nd half of the fight.

The 6th was a spirited round. London landed a telling combination that made Dan wince, and got 11 jabs home in building a big lead. Dan rallied at the end on the strength of 12 hooks to make it respectable, 12-8. Could Brian sustain this charge? He fought a beautiful 7th, with 11 uppercuts and 9 jabs, winning convincingly, 15-8, but he also was cut over his right eyebrow

. The 8th was yet another good round in the London rally, as he snaked another 9 jabs in, as well as a solid left, good for a 12-5 margin!

Flynn cut the rally short, hammering London with a series of crosses, one that caused the cut to be reopened and checked, and took the 9th, 9-4. I had the fight even at this point. In the 10th, London went all out for the KO, while Flynn, thinking he had the fight well in hand, covered up

! Brian got a sweet uppercut in, and scored enough to win the round, 10-2.

I scored the fight 96-95, London, though Flynn outlanded him 277-224. The judges scored the bout 96-95, 94-98 & 96-95, the winner by a split decision, Brian London!

I’m not sure why Flynn covered up in the 10th, as that strategy seemed to backfire!
