December 6th, 1912 (my scores in bold where applicable)
Title Fight
LW - (WBA) Abe Attell (CH) (40-12-3) became the 12th fighter to win 40 with a MD15 over tough challenger Eddie Hanlon (17/20) (19-10-1). Hanlon consistenly hurt Attell when he landed punches but he just didn't land enough.
The scores were 144-141/143-143/143-142. I gave a couple of close rounds to Attell so the champion biased judges did their work on this one. It was Attell's second defense of the WBA LW title
Title Tourney
LW - (IBF) Young Corbett (10/7) (32-18-4) scored a TKO8 over Freddie Welsh (5/10) (24-9-1) to advance to the second round of the IBF LW tourney. Welsh suffered a cut over his left eye in the 4th and it was reopened several times before the ref finally stopped it. I had it 67-66 for Corbett at the stoppage.
