Pat McMurtry (1-0 1) vs. Corrie Sanders (1-0 1) – Sanders’ southpaw style stymied Pat in the 1^st. Corrie landed a big cross and an even-better uppercut. Only a last-second hook by McMurtry made it respectable, 17-8.

Irish Pat adjusted and boxed nicely in a 13-4 2^nd, landing jabs & hooks and a thunderous cranium-cruncher. He boxed even better in a blistering 3^rd, staggering Sanders with a hook and savage straight right, 26-4

. Landing at will, he poured in 62 punches, 22 being jabs, and had definitely adjusted to Corrie’s style!

His hands low, Sanders made a stand in the 4^th. Landing a hard combination and hook, he caught a crisp right but answered with a dazzling hook. It was close at the 2 minute mark, but Sanders landed another combination and a series of jabs, pulling away, 20-8, evening the fight!

They both looked tired coming out for the 5^th, Corrie having expended a lot of energy the last round. Pat landed a booming cross, but Corrie came back with a sizzling combination, and then another one! He was relentless, attacking with combinations and uppercuts, and a big cross almost caused McMurtry to stumble! Sanders won the round, 22-8, but how long could he go at this pace?

The fans cheered both men as they traded punches in the 6^th. Pat used his hooks and jabs well for some late counters that evened the round, 9-9. The pace slowed as both men rested for 2 minutes in the 7^th, then Irish Pat got going, rapping home hooks and occasional jabs to pull away, 13-4. I had it 67-67 at this juncture.

McMurtry went for broke in the 8^th, but his bombs were off-target in the first minute. Settling down, he landed a classic uppercut and hard hook. Corrie landed a few punches, but Pat’s jabs and hooks again were finding the range. McMurtry almost lifted Sanders’ feet off the floor with an uppercut

, and Sanders tried to cover up, obviously hurt! Pat couldn’t land the put-away punch, but his 46 punches were good for a 21-6 shellacking!

Shilelagh law was all the rage in the 9^th, and McMurtry had the only weapon. He landed a herculean hook, and Corrie’s left eye was swelling. He fired a night train shot to the body, and Sanders dropped

! He was up at the count of 7, but wobbly, and McMurtry punished him with hooks and jabs, taking a toll on the eye, that was now a mess! The round saved Corrie, who had been decimated, 25-0.

Needing a miracle, Sanders instead caught a dazzling hook to the body. He somehow stayed upright, clinching for a bit, then landed a sweet uppercut in a bid to stop his foe. The round ended with Corrie ahead, 7-5.

Pat had punished Corrie, outlanding him 322-183. On the strength of rounds 7-9, I had Pat winning, 96-94. The judges scored the fight 96-95, 96-93 & 96-93, a unanimous decision for Pat McMurtry. The KD had been pivotal. The fans gave a standing ovation to both boxers, who had waged a war before Sanders ran out of steam!
