Title Fights
BW - (USBA) Jimmy Barry (16/13) (21-5) survived a tough fight to score a TKO11 over tough Jack Ward (18/25) (19-4). The fight was give and take the whole way. Ward seemed to take the advantage in the 8th when he dropped the regional champ. But then Barry came back to drop Ward in the 9th. Ward ran out of steam and was getting pummelled on the ropes in the 11th when the ref stopped it.
I had it 95-95 at the stoppage. It was Barry's first defense of the USBA BW title.
WW - (CBU) Ted Lewis (7/7) (20-3-2) suffered a DRAW12 in a lazy performance against Fred Kay (49/45) (13-1-2) (pre) but still retained his CBU WW title for the 6th time. A boring fight with no knockdowns or cuts.
Other Fights
BW - Frankie Burns (13/10) (23-5-1) SD10 Jimmy Walsh (8/11) (18-14-5) 97-95 Burns
HW - Harry Smith (127/74) (19-9-2) DQ9 Joe Coburn (25/64) (30-14-5) (Coburn was warned six times and penalized twice)
