Tournament of Challengers Qualifier, Second Round, Part I

Dominick McCaffrey W10 Tim Tomashek: McCaffrey pulls out his second controversial decision in as many fights. This time, McCaffrey landed eight more punches, though Tomashek was slightly more accurate with his blows and dominated the middle rounds. Neither fighter was dropped or cut.

The three officials are unanimous in their view of only two rounds, the second and the fifth, as two ruled for McCaffrey by scores of 97-93 and 98-92, while the third saw it 98-92 for Tomashek. The revalation that one judge gave The Fighting Doughboy eight rounds while another did the same for McCaffrey triggered obscene chants and brought a shower of half-full beer cups down on the ring.

Willi Fischer KO2 Richard Dunn: The big German is too strong for Dunn, stretching the British southpaw with a single right cross late in the second.

After an even first round, Fischer hurts Dunn with a left hook to the side of the head early in the second, then bulls him into the ropes to set up the finisher. Dunn is counted out at the 2:40 mark.

Ed Mahone W10 Johnny Paychek: The larger Mahone controls the action early, hurting Paychek several times and gashing his right eyebrow. A left hook from Paychek rips open Mahone's right cheek in the seventh, though, and The Hammer is visibly bothered by the steady flow of blood down his face the rest of the way.

Though preoccupied with protecting a cut that offers no threat to his vision, Mahone wins a slow final round on all three cards, enabling him to eke out a majority decision by scores of 98-93, 96-95 and 96-96.

Bill Squires KO8 Jimmy Darcy:
Darcy boxes well and gamely, but Squires lands harder punches and more of them, building a comfortable lead before flooring Fighting Jimmy with a left hook with a minute left in the eighth. Darcy climbs up at three, but eats another hook that puts him down for the count with 30 seconds remaining. Squires leads 68-65 (twice) and 69-64 at the end.
