Title Fight
HW - (WBO) Jack Johnson (CH) (47-3) scored a SD15 over long time rival Peter Jackson (2/2) (40-9-2) for his 6th defense of the WBO HW title.
Johnson seemed to control the fight but never really dominated it. Jackson was cut under his right eye in the 10th. Final scores were 144-142/144-146/145-143. This was Johnson's 5th win over Jackson and the commissioner (me) has said that the two will not fight again unless it is a unification bout.
Title Tourney
MW - (WBA) Stanley Ketchel (2/1) (34-9) battered and bruised the inexperienced Jack McCarron (11/18) (17-1-1) (pre) in route to a KO11 win in the first round of the WBA MW title elimination tourney. McCarron was cut badly under his swollen shut right eye in the 10th and was down 5 times in this fight. I had it 99-89 at the stoppage.
